He was pulled because (1) his close ties to Musk proved a liability (2) he had donated to Democratic candidates in the past. Trump doesn’t give a rats ass about NASA except as a source of money to cut in order to offset his tax plan. NASA science funding is being cut by 50%.

News update, the nomination was pulled. Check his wiki page history there is the real reason. No more NASA or space according to updates.

Exactly this. Progressives are idiots.

Think Hubble will get another servicing mission now?

He and Elon are friends. Pretty positive the conversation went something like this:
Jared to Elon: hey, can I be in charge of Mass.
Elon to Trump: my friend wants to be in charge of nasa.
Trump to Eli : nasa? Don’t give a crap. Sure, whatever.

And that’s how nasa got a not-horrible pick for administrator.
I think there will be some culture shock when he joins, but at least he’s someone who is passionate about space and not overtly terrible.

Pure corruption

From what I’ve read this pick is straight from Elon. He’s very Space-X friendly.

Pretty clear Trump is paying back his billionaire friends who helped him win the election with dirty campaign ads. He is not even a real astronaut.

Do you have any idea how you sound, OP? Like a petulant toddler. "Not even a real astronaut"? Get a clue.

Pretty sure his checkbook got him the nomination.

You know nothing about him but what you read in the headline and all you focused on was "billionaire" grow up.

Yeah, it's not like every other Trump nominee is a corrupt sewer clown. Oh wait, yes they are.

+1

Well, he is a billionaire FOE (Friend of Elon) but I think it's a solid pick.

Isaacman started a credit card processing company he was in HS and grew that company into what it is today.

He also owned a company that rented out a fleet of fighters jets for movies, etc and also a jet fighter demo team (think privately run Blue Angels) that he flew for as well.

Plus his work with Elon and Space-X. His first Space-X flight raised a ton of $$ for St. Jude's as well.

So, I am going to give him a chance and think he has the business acumen and space exploration enthusiasm to be successful in his role at NASA.

Their pique is peculiar.
