NASA chief suggests SpaceX may be booted from moon mission

"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.

Which will backfire spectacularly when Obama is re-elected.

You can’t get elected if you don’t count the votes. That requires a joint session of congress. If due to an unprecedented emergency the congress cannot come into session there’s no clear rule what happens.

Any number of emergent events may create an emergency preventing the congress from gathering. The congress are collaborators and the Supreme Court is compromised.

That would trigger a real civil war.

Which would further delay any chance of a transition of power.

More and more it looks like that is what he wants.
