The "cancelling" of Jared Isaacman to lead NASA is one of those short term decisions that may ripple out for the next hundred years. Elon Musk and the Space community are right to be outraged.

Stop this! If anything NASA's science, budget should be expanded. Yes, kill SLS, Gateway & Orion, as they have been sucking science money for a decade. These other cuts are insanity. Reach out to your political leaders now!--
