He does nothing but criticize NASA long-term plans as they stand and is fine with the privatization of space?
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that non-zero chance is something like 0.0000001% chance. Sure, it’s not zero, but it still ain’t a real fucking good chance.
I haven’t seen Isaacman’s specific criticisms you’re talking about, but NASA does have some crappy long-term plans because they’ve been driving by politicians looking to land pork in their districts. NASA’s SLS moon rocket (a Boeing product) is wildly expensive for what it does. Lockheed’s moon crew capsule has been in development for over 20 years, currently has a deal-breaking problem they won’t disclose (related to heat shield) and has cost us north of $26.6 billion without carrying a humans yet to space.
If Isaacman is it for NASA, at least he’s a spaceflight advocate. He’s also been to space, so he’ll be a strong advocate for Astronaut safety (another area NASA has had historical difficulty).
