>>11010178Bridenstine's just salty that Spacex is going to trivialize his entire administratorship. Instead of some pivotal return to the moon effort that is a lynchpin in space development, he's building a system that will land people there later than starship for 20+x more cost per astro. Basically crippling moon development, as opposed to his mental master plan of the ''proper'' path being executed and he being its instrument. Bridenstine cares about that self image of himself and his role in history, as opposed to administration players like Scott Pace who don't care about what is actually meaningfully accomplished just that it's their obsessive preference of SLS based lunar missions, even as Spacex trivializes them.
Same reason Bruno is salty. Bruno's how its supposed to be done is junk that will never happen and he watches Musk build the pivotal thing that flies in the face of it all, and ULA is nothing.
The world owes neither of them meaningful placement.
