"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.

The silver lining is that they are operating under the assumption that he will leave office at the conclusion of his term.

>Don't be fooled by this pretense. MAGA republicans are already actively working towards getting him another term

Yes, he's in such excellent health, I can definitely see him living (and non-comatose!) long enough for that.

I’m surprised he is vertical. He acts like how Biden looks.

I expect him to be walled off from external appearances within some amount of time so he can focus on truly important projects. Like redesigning the lawn. Or the amount of gold leaf on everything.

My real question, if/when that happens, who is pulling the strings with the most sway?
