海外TECH	Engadget	NASA finally has a leader, but its future is no more certain	https://www.engadget.com/science/space/nasa-finally-has-a-leader-but-its-future-is-no-more-certain-201109072.html?src=rss	After a rudderless year and an exodus of around employees due to Trump administration cuts NASA got what may be its first piece of good news recently On December the Senate confirmed billionaire Jared Isaacman as the agency s new administrator He now holds the power to rehabilitate a battered engine of scientific research or steer it towards even more disruption nbsp Considering the caliber of President Trump s other appointees Isaacman is probably the best candidate for the job Outside of being a successful entrepreneur he has flown fighter jets and been to space twice as part of the Inspiration and Polaris Dawn private missions One of those flights saw him complete the first commercial space walk and travel farther from Earth than any human since the end of the Apollo program nbsp nbsp nbsp quot Perfect is the enemy of the good Isaacman checks a lot of boxes quot says Keith Cowing a former NASA employee and the founder of NASA Watch a blog dedicated to the agency quot He s passed every requirement to fly in a spacecraft that American astronauts at NASA are required to pass He also went out of his way to have a diverse crew and shove as much science as he could in those missions quot nbsp And yet if you re a NASA employee or just someone who cares about the agency s work there are still plenty of reasons to be concerned for its future When Trump first nominated Isaacman in the spring the billionaire wrote a page document detailing his vision for NASA In November Politico obtained a copy of that plan titled Project Athena To some insiders Project Athena painted a picture of someone who at least at the time when it was written fundamentally misunderstood how NASA works and how scientific discovery is funded in the US and elsewhere It also suggests Isaacman may be more open to Trump s NASA agenda than would appear at first glance nbsp nbsp nbsp When asked about the plan by Politico one former NASA official characterized it as quot bizarre and careless quot Another called it presumptuous quot given many of the proposed changes to the agency s structure would require Congressional approval In one section Isaacman recommended taking NASA out of the taxpayer funded climate science business and leaving it for academia to determine In another section he promised to evaluate the relevance and ongoing necessity of every agency center particularly NASA s iconic Jet Propulsion Laboratory saying the facility and others must increase the output and time to science KPI nbsp A lot has changed since Isaacman first wrote that document It came before the workforce cuts before the future of Goddard Space Flight Center became uncertain and before Trump surprised everyone by renominating Isaacman But during his Senate testimony earlier this month the billionaire said I do stand behind everything in the document even though it was written seven months ago I think it was all directionally correct nbsp nbsp He did appear to distance himself from some viewpoints expressed in or inferred by Project Athena however Isaacman stated that anything suggesting that I am anti science or want to outsource that responsibility is simply untrue He also came out against the administration s plan to cut NASA s science budget nearly in half claiming the proposals would not lead to quot an optimal outcome quot One thing is clear Isaacman is not your typical bureaucrat quot One of the pitfalls of some prior NASA administrators has been that they ve shown too much reverence for the internal processes and bureaucratic structure of the agency to the detriment of decision making and performance quot said Casey Drier chief of space policy at The Planetary Society a nonprofit that advocates for the exploration and study of space quot Isaacman has positioned himself as the opposite of that Clearly that s something that could lead to a lot of political and congressional challenges if taken too far quot nbsp nbsp nbsp Even if Isaacman doesn t follow through on any of the proposals made in Project Athena there s only so much a NASA administrator ーeven one sympathetic to civil servants working under them ーcan do nbsp quot Once a budget request goes out publicly everyone in the administration has to defend it Anything he does will have to be internal and private quot Drier explains quot He never explicitly criticized the administration during his hearing He s also coming relatively late in the budget process quot nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp A lot of NASA s future will depend on the White House Office of Management and Budget OMB which is responsible for implementing the president s agenda across the executive branch As a direct result of guidance the OMB issued over the summer NASA awarded percent fewer new grants in than it did on average between and nbsp nbsp nbsp quot The OMB has added layers of requirements that scientists now have to go through to spend the money they ve already been allocated The administration has worked against its own stated goals of efficiency quot Drier said quot Isaacman can t solve that himself He can t tell the OMB what to do That s going to be a serious challenge quot nbsp Looming over everything is the fact NASA still does not have a full year budget for Congress has until January to fund NASA and the rest of the federal government before the short term funding bill it passed on November runs out quot On paper the official policy of the administration is still to terminate a third of NASA s scientific capability quot Drier points out There are reasons to be cautiously optimistic Publicly both the House and Senate have come out against Trump s funding cuts And some science missions that were slated to be cancelled such as OSIRIS APEX have been approved for another full year of operations nbsp nbsp nbsp What NASA needs now is someone who will as Drier puts it quot vigorously advocate quot for the agency in whatever way they can It remains to be seen if that s Jared Isaacman This article originally appeared on Engadget
