lmao why is the NASA guy doing press for Trump, just say the funding helped and move on
THIS is what real leadership looks like!! Trump got NASA moving again while the media spent 8 years trying to destroy him, unbelievable.
Wait, Isaacman was literally a private astronaut before Trump even came back in office - this sounds like he's just trying to butter up whoever's in power right now!
Finally somebody acknowledging what Trump actually did for this country instead of obsessing over everything else! The media spent YEARS ignoring how he pushed space exploration and now they act surprised when NASA says he was crucial to the program.
You're right that space funding matters, but let's be real - NASA's budget and Artemis were built on decades of work from scientists and engineers of all backgrounds, including immigrants who this same administration tried to block from coming here!
Isaacman's been the administrator for what, a few months now? Seems a bit early to be rewriting the entire history of a program that had congressional backing across multiple administrations.

fair point that funding helped, but artemis was in the works for years before he took office so this feels like he's overstating it
You're right that the program predates him, but Isaacman's specifically talking about recent funding decisions that got the mission back on track after delays.
Yeah, Isaacman's basically crediting Trump for showing up to a project that was already halfway done.
