Keith’s note: according to “The Power Struggle Over Who Will Run NASA Is Turning Ugly“ in the Wall Street Journal: “Over the summer, Duffy told government officials he was interested in bringing NASA under the Transportation Department’s purview, people briefed on the conversations said. “Sean said that NASA might benefit from being part of the Cabinet, maybe even within the Department of Transportation, but he’s never said he wants to […] The post What Would Sean Duffy Do Wit...| TrumpSpace Archives - NASA Watch
Keith’s note: Over the years space supporters have complained when politics entered @NASA policy. Over the past few days Transportation Secretary Duffy who moonlights as Interim/Acting NASA Administrator has gone totally political. Remember – if you are a Democrat or attended these rallies this is what he thinks of you (see Tweet and quotes). But he only says these things as @SecDuffy – NOT as @SecDuffyNASA. Oh yes: the President […] The post Is NASA A “Democrat Agency”, Sean Duff...| TrumpSpace Archives - NASA Watch
Today, members of the International Maritime Organization decided to postpone a major vote on the world’s first truly global carbon pricing scheme. The yearlong delay came in response to a pressure campaign led by the U.S. The Net-Zero Framework — initially approved in April by an overwhelming margin and long expected to be formally adopted today — would establish a legally binding requirement for the shipping industry to cut its emissions intensity, with interim steps leading to net ze...| Heatmap News

Keith’s note: I did these screen grabs on my phone at 5:00 pm today – one after the other. Its is common to see this repeated use of Fox News – and only Fox News – as fodder for Sean Duffy tweets from NASA. It is hard to understand why Sean Duffy only pays attention to Fox News and not appear on – and then feature videos from – CNN […] The post Sean Duffy Is Stuck Inside The Fox Bubble appeared first on NASA Watch.| TrumpSpace Archives - NASA Watch

Keith’s note: While Russian media continues to post news stories, not a single world from NASA or Sean Duffy. So much for transparency. Or is the Administration up to something that prompts the Russians to say nice things? See “Russia and U.S. Agree to Extend International Space Station Operations to 2028“ in The Moscow Times.

Keith’s note: Everything that comes out under Sean Duffy’s name regarding NASA seemingly has a typo, some odd capitalization, or blatantly incorrect facts. Take this tweet for example: “NASA Acting Administrator Sean Duffy @SecDuffyNASA NISAR is successfully in orbit! The mission is a joint U.S.-India effort, negotiated by President TRUMP. Thanks to his LEADERSHIP & our friends at @ISRO, @NASA is Making Space Great Again!” As a community note clarifies: […] The post Fact Checking Se...| TrumpSpace Archives - NASA Watch
Keith’s note: this went out to everyone at NASA. You’d think that a former TV guy could read the room a little better i.e. “deeply personal and often difficult decisions”. — “Dear Team, Thank you to all who took the time to thoughtfully consider NASA’s voluntary resignation programs.

Full message below: Fifty-six years ago this week, American heroes Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins returned home after completing the most daring mission in human history — Apollo 11.
