Sean Duffy: Embrace The Challenge 2.0

Keith’s note: this went out to everyone at NASA. You’d think that a former TV guy could read the room a little better i.e. “deeply personal and often difficult decisions”. — “Dear Team, Thank you to all who took the time to thoughtfully consider NASA’s voluntary resignation programs. I know these are deeply personal and often difficult decisions. To those who have chosen to depart, I want to express my sincere appreciation for your service. Your work has helped shape NASA’s extraordinary legacy of discovery and innovation. Whether you are continuing the journey here or taking your next step beyond, your contributions will always be part of the foundation we build on. Thank you for all you’ve done – for NASA, for your teams, and for the mission we’ve shared. Sean Duffy Acting NASA Administrator”.

    Everyone who is already on admin leave for the DRP has no access to NASA email. Does he not know this?

    He just got here. What mission has he shared except for the total dismantling of the agency and American leadership in exploration.

    Petro also used “deeply personal” in the same context last month in one of the “embrace the challenge” emails.

    The decisions that caused this self-destruction were obviously political, not personal.
