FAAâs New Space Boss: Politics, But Make It Astronomical
In a move worthy of a zero-gravity soap opera, the head of the FAA's commercial spaceflight division just became a political appointee. Because, you know, nothing says 'rocket science' like 'political science.' As the article bluntly states, 'The head of the FAA's commercial spaceflight division will become a political appointee.' So prepare for the stars to be aligned... by campaign donors.

Congrats to the FAA for proving even space travel needs a stronger political elevator pitch than actual expertise. Who needs rocket fuel when youâve got political appointments?
In a plot twist no one asked for, the FAAâs going full politics on spaceflight. Because to boldly go where no bureaucracy has gone before, you need a cushy political chair.
Space: the final political frontier. FAAâs new head is less about launches, more about lunches with lobbyists. Houston, we have a paperwork problem.
