    I missed “commercial” and for just a split second thought a competent person had manipulated their way into a role they were qualified for

      Eh he’s more competent than a lot of the other voices and certainly better than Duffy.

      He kind of runs his own Air Force.

    So, on to the Senate confirmation process. That can’t be much of a priority for them at the moment.

    Getting a “commerical astronaut” to run NASA is like nominating someone who was a passenger on a ferry once to command the Navy.

      It seems like Isaacman was a lot more involved in his missions than Bill Nelson was for his Shuttle flight. The “EVA” suit development and testing is pretty neat. Either way, though, those two both did way less than a NASA astronaut.
