Jim BridenstineJim Bridenstine really knows how to talk politics. I must say I very impressed with his tenure so far, the NASA Administrator is not really all that powerful of a position but given how much opposition there was to him being a Trump selection he does do well.This is such a vital step to make LEO a commercial domain. NASA is spending way to much money on LEO and to make any moon/mars future possible that needs to be commercial. NASA only want to launch max. 4 people per ship, but it can take 7. So the price could really be cheap pretty cheap to allow a fair amount of non-NASA groups to send up people.Axiom Space got the contract extending the ISS and a more commercial ISS could operate more efficiently in the longer run.Eventually, with the cost of Cargo Space transportation coming down, we could actually build Space Stations in Space and make them way bigger.
