/shrug. If you’re saying “this whole situation sucks”, I agree.

For the record, I didn’t say DoT made sense, just that it made more sense than the alternatives for cabinet-level representation. NASA administrator in the cabinet is an unserious suggestion - scope of the position is tiny with respect to a cabinet secretary’s even if NASA got all the funding it needed to do the job.

Neither Isaacman nor Duffy are going to prioritize climate science, so that’s a straw man.

My primary point still stands - Duffy throws way more weight in the Trump administration and is therefore better able to protect or advance NASA’s needs/goals/objectives. Isaacman doesn’t even have enough clout to survive a hatchet job during a straightforward nomination. Better qualified yes, but no indication he can actually be effective in this environment.
