"The president and I want to get to the moon in this president's term" - Sean Duffy NASA administrator.

A scary way to set a schedule on a complex project with lives at stake. They don't care though.

Having a deadline is how things get done. With no deadline, nothing gets accomplished.

The point you raise is implicit in the comment that you're replying to and your response seems to intentionally ignore the very valid point that a bad deadline in this context may kill people and have other very negative consequences for the program.

What part of the comment you're replying to lead you to believe that the person you're replying to does not understand the value of deadlines?

With Trump, assume there will be massive kickbacks and corruption, most likely nothing useful will happen.
