  • Isaacman seems like he’s not the type to be bullied around by Trump or even Musk, based on everything I’ve seen. I’d anything he’s the one who has got THEM on a leash.

    If I were to predict what would happen, I bet we see a Hubble service mission awarded to SpaceX, and lunar EVA suits awarded to SpaceX. I don’t think even the NASA administrator can touch SLS, so that keeps going as-is. Surely there will be a big push to get boots on the moon again before the next election, but I don’t think it’s likely to happen.



  • This is a quite inflammatory headline. Technically true, but it turns out Isaacman is a decent pick for NASA administrator. After all, he’s a real fighter jet pilot and astronaut who has performed multiple scientific missions in orbit.

    Yeah, he’ll probably push for more commercial launch services. For example, he’s a big proponent of a Hubble service mission to fix the gyroscopes that are currently broken.

    Not trusting the provider of that tech is a damn good reason to be skeptical of something a person (disabled or otherwise) puts in their brain.

    It doesn’t have to be a hack, it could also just be incompetence. And judging by Tesla’s software track record, I’m not terribly confident in the overall safety of that device.
