In the trail of scandal enveloping the Tump administration one forgets that possibly the worst appointment he made was Jim Bridenstine as Director of NASA. The appointee is neither a scientist or an administrator. Bridenstine, when he was a representative in Congress, proposed a bill that "would have eliminated NASA’s objective of expanding “human knowledge of the Earth and of phenomena in the atmosphere and space.”" Back on earth last week, it was alleged that Mr. Bridenstine had used the resources of the Tulsa Air and Space Museum, which he directed, to benefit a private company he co-owned. In an era when Ben Carson buys himself a $31,000 dining room set for his office and Scott Pruitt builds himself a $43,000 soundproof phone booth, maybe it all just seems like business as usual.
Is America Lost in Space?
