TACO Don recently appointed Sean Duffy as the interim director of NASA. On the face of it, it makes no sense. As Secretary of Transportation, the first thing he did is lay off hundreds of workers and cause a commercial plane to crash, claiming over 70 lives. Sean Duffy is so inept, it is doubtful he could even fold a paper airplane, much less make it fly. In other words, Duffy is no rocket engineer.
It turns out the Rancid Kumquat appoint Duffy to act more as an advocate and a lobbyist, relying on his governmental experience to be a liaison between the real rocket engineers and Congress.
Duffy does not have a scientific background, but Williams said he believes Duffy’s experience in politics and government will be more relevant.
“The primary purpose of the job is to advocate for NASA in Washington, D.C., working with Congress, working with OMB [the Office of Management and Budget], working with the White House,” Williams said. “Hs primary role will be inside the beltway. … But then it becomes very important that he listens and builds trusting relationships with those that do have the expertise in the different areas.”
Or is he?
