This is good news if he doesn’t change his mind again.
One thought on “Here We Go Again”
Excellent news. One hopes he can now be confirmed expeditiously, but there will likely be forces in DC looking to drag that process out or even scupper it entirely.
Assuming confirmation, I would like to see his first few acts as NASA Admin be:
1. Making Artemis 2 an uncrewed test mission of the ECLSS and heat shield.
2. Executing a formal unfunded Space Act Agreement with SpaceX for a Starship-based SLS-Orion substitute for delivery at the same time as HLS Starship.
3. Announce that, per Polaris 3 plans, he will command the first crew to test this item in LEO.
4. Reassign the Artemis 2 crew to Artemis 3 and let them pick their own ride to cis-lunar space.
Note that, if the Starship-based SLS-Orion replacement is chosen, all four crew, including the Canuck, can walk on the Moon.
