Although politics is not a topic that should not butt too much into science, as history shows, the old head of NASA, has been removed and a new one put in

I have to confess I am a bit sorry for Jim Bridenstine. He was not a scientist, he was a republican, but he did a good job in my view in the last few years of getting the old guard and the new commercial space launches tied in together.

Trump, for all his multiple issues, and there were many, at least put funding into NASA and Jim did a good job.

It will be interesting to see how Joe Biden and his new NASA boss do in comparison.

What are your thoughts on the matter and what would you like to see NASA do in the next 4 years if you were boss?

Bridenstein announced that he was resigning after the election result was clear. He wasn't pushed out. Indeed, for the moment, he's still in the job.

I wish he would stay on. He was one of Trump's better appointment.
