On the matter of Jeannett Epps and the International Space Station

Is it wrong to sense DT-45's hand in this? Or Jeff Sessions'? Especially in the wake of Charles Bolden's exit as NASA Chief Administrator and there being only an "acting" successor...

There has been a ton of turnover in the Trump administration.

It has been a political merry-go-round.

And they still haven't nominated all the people they want in place to wreck the bureaucratic infrastructure.

My main point: Epps has earned her place in space exploration and she should get to finish the job. If there's a legitimate medical or family issue or a research project that she's even better suited for, that's one thing, but if someone high up the current "Administration" wants to roll back the clock on the makeup of the US astronaut corps?

I know what you mean. It seems politics now changes on a whim. I do not like it or other voters in this country.

And this attitude in Washington has been present since after the Reagan Administration.
