Even so, there are signs that NASA’s fortunes may be looking up.

From Malta With Lies: Sergio Gor and the Sabotage of the Trump-Musk Alliance

The consequences for NASA were dramatic and negative. Thanks to Gor’s last-minute intervention, NASA was left without a Senate-confirmed administrator for the foreseeable future. Officials warned the agency wouldn’t get a new chief approved for “at least nine months,” hampering leadership of the nation’s space program. A Trump adviser involved in the process vented frustration to Axios: “Isaacman is eminently qualified… exactly the type of person we want. And now look at it.” In short, Gor’s purity tests sacrificed a crucial agency head for a partisan grudge. Even Senate Republicans were angry. According to Axios, GOP senators privately blamed Gor for undermining the NASA pick purely to “settle a score” with Musk.

Looks like the Grima Wormtongue of the Trump administration is not pleased and is threatening to sue. I bet discovery would be fascinating,

Musk’s third party push puts his companies at risk

“I don’t think it ever does any good for somebody like Elon Musk to annoy his biggest customer, which is the United States government,” space policy expert Mark Whittington said.

However, he underscored the government is also highly dependent on SpaceX, making it hard for Trump to realistically cut off the company.

Musk’s threat last month to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, which is responsible for ferrying astronauts and cargo to and from the International Space Station, sent shockwaves through the space community. He ultimately walked back the threat.

“SpaceX is so good at what it does, launching things into space, and is far beyond any of his competitors,” Whittington added. “There’s not much the federal government can do to him without alternatives.”

Trump says it would have been “inappropriate” for Isaacman to lead NASA

The statement about his political contributions is incorrect based on public records. Isaacman has donated to Republican candidates, including Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.), now the chairman of the House Transportation Committee. However, more recent donations, including those in the 2024 election cycle, were to Democratic candidates and organizations. That donation history almost certainly would have been part of the vetting process for his nomination, which Trump announced in December 2024.

Isaacman has also pushed back on claims, advanced by Democratic senators during the confirmation process, that he is close friends with Musk. “I do not have a close personal relationship with Mr. Musk,” he said in written responses to questions for the record after his April 9 confirmation hearing, calling his relationship with Musk “professional.” He also denied that Musk had contacted him about leading NASA, saying that his interactions were with the Trump transition team.

The outcome of the war and the fate of the world will hang in the balance.

From Book 1: July, 1969, the crew of Apollo 11 has triumphantly returned to Earth. In this alternate history thriller, President Richard Nixon puts into a motion a scheme to ramp up the space race to pressure the Soviets into making diplomatic and military concessions. Thus begins a story of high adventure on the final frontier and of low intrigue in the corridors of power back on Earth. It will prove to be the fulfillment of a dream for Wendy Pendleton to be the first woman to walk on the moon. It will be a nightmare for Cal Lauren, a political operative determined to stop the space race at all costs to fund the social programs he holds dear.

Musk slams influential Trump adviser: ‘He’s a snake’

Regarding last night’s accident that destroyed Starship, it is too early for too many hot takes. Obviously, the next flight test has been pushed off for an indeterminate period of time, I have two suggestions, however.

Elon Musk might want to drop everything else and head to Starbase to take charge personally. Too many accidents and glitches are occurring for a vehicle that is crucial for the return to the moon and humans to Mars.

Also, wouldn’t it be great if we had a permanent NASA administrator who could determine how this latest accident affects Artemis and make the appropriate decisions? Just a thought.
