Trump taps Sean Duffy as interim NASA administrator
Source: The Hill
President Trump said late Wednesday that he was tapping Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to lead NASA on an interim basis after Trump yanked his original nominee for the post.
Sean is doing a TREMENDOUS job in handling our Countrys Transportation Affairs, including creating a state-of-the-art Air Traffic Control systems, while at the same time rebuilding our roads and bridges, making them efficient, and beautiful, again, Trump posted on Truth Social. He will be a fantastic leader of the ever more important Space Agency, even if only for a short period of time.

Duffy becomes the latest Cabinet official to be given multiple job titles. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is also serving as interim national security adviser.
Duffy responded to the presidents post on X, writing, Honored to accept this mission. Time to take over space. Lets launch.

State of the Art Air Traffic Control System? Rebuilding our roads and bridges? Fantastic Leader? We are being led by Question Mark and the Republicans.

Worked for Stennis in Mississippi many years ago. She couldnt have been happier. Yeah, the liars said, dont panic. You know what your doing why would we fire you, wink, wink.

(17,634 posts)He always lands on his feet. He's an amazing man and staunch Democrat. He has an incredible work ethic along with the high IQ. He's on the Artemis program which he hopes he can see through to the launch. I'm just surprised that the doofus in chief hasn't renamed Kennedy Space Center.

(17,634 posts)If you're ever interested, look up how many name changes this went through over the years. It almost seems like it was a typical Florida political thing. They didn't like that President Johnson renamed Cape Canaveral to Cape Kennedy. I think it became quite a battle. Eventually, Florida won out and the town is Cape Canaveral but where the space center is located was changed to Kennedy Space Center, or KSC.
I still don't trust that doofus won't rename it Musk Space Center if they ever "mend their relationship". (I think their feud is political theater myself.)

Here's how you DO NOT do it if you have a shred of integrity or basic competence:

A number of red states did not invest their allocated share of the Infrastructure Law while Biden was in office so he would not get credit.
