Former SMD AA and Chief Scientist Grunsfeld Voices Support For Biden
Roughly 4 years ago Donald Trump ruined Twitter for me. His lies and misleading statements have become his hallmark achievement.
Someone recently said "Silence is not an option" and that has finally resonated with me.
I appreciate that you've kept me in your scan.

An excellent recommendation from a guy who knows what he is talking about.
I think it is safe to start talking about a transition, and who should head NASA.
I realize that it is typical to clean house from the previous administration, but exceptions are sometimes made when the person in the position is uniquely valuable to the organization. I expect, or at least hope that this will be the case with the current NASA Administrator.
Or because no one wanted the job. Mr. Goldin was appointed by President Bush (Sr.) and remained administrator through the Clinton administration and into the Bush (Jr.) administration. If memory serves, that was mainly because the President couldn’t find anyone from his own party who was both at least vaguely competent and willing to take a basically thankless job. If Mr. Biden replaces Mr. Bridenstine, the new administrator will probably be on the job when SLS explodes in the agency’s face (figuratively not literally, I hope.) That might dampen potential candidate’s enthusiasm.
