A weeks-long “Game of Thrones” struggle for control of NASA is still ongoing. In one corner is Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy. In the other corner is billionaire private space traveler Jared Isaacman.

Now Jared Isaacman is being attacked for being a space billionaire

Isaacman said he “was disappointed as a child when he found out that there wasn’t much left to discover on Earth,” which surely fueled his aspirations for space exploration. He seems to believe the Earth no longer offers frontiers to conquer. I vehemently disagree. Frontiers abound, if you refuse to look away.

Here’s a frontier — more challenging than going to Mars — I propose to him and others of obscene wealth they cannot truly believe they rightfully possess, while others starve. Share your wealth to change this national embarrassment, stemming from the worst wealth inequality:

Jared responds

The irony of this “opinion” piece is that I literally covered many of the 'make the world better' themes during my discussion... – To the extent you have the means, everyone has an obligation to try to leave the world better than they found it. That means balancing investments in tomorrow with solving the problems of today. I also spoke about my support for St. Jude and their mission not just to defeat childhood cancer--but to do it across the globe. – I talked about how we are living in an era where space exploration is increasingly being driven by private dollars rather than solely burdening taxpayers--which is a good thing. But some people just love the “boil the billionaire” narrative--as if big government were the best allocators of capital to solve all the world’s problems. All that aside, I do believe that with every great endeavor, including space exploration, there must be an important balance back here at home--or you risk losing the support of the people.

Old data from the Cassini probe suggests that Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus should be of interest for astrobiologists.

Today is October 7, the second anniversary of the most horrendous mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. Here follows my wishes to all concerned.

To the Israelis, I wish victory and peace and an end to the killing and the dying. Also, some well-deserved respect in the world for facing down the human demons who threaten their very existence.

To the Palestinians, I also wish an end to the killing and the dying. Also, a realization that God, whom they call the merciful and the compassionate, expects mercy and compassion from his worshipers and is very angry when this doesn’t happen.

Finally, to the keyboard jihadis, the Greta groupies, and the marching antisemites, a little self-awareness and the realization that they are not on the right side of history or morality.
