"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.

America is becoming a silly place. Lumberjack appointed as a head of NASA for his loyalty.

Werner von Braun was competent though, as was Parsons. Being a little silly is fine as long as you can do the job.

He only cared about sending rockets up. Where they came down was other people's problem.

> He only cared about sending rockets up.
