Petition in Support of Keeping Jim Bridenstine as Administrator of NASA in a Biden Administration
Keep Jim Bridenstine as NASA Administrator in a Biden Administration
Why is this important?
A robust, energetic, and thriving NASA is vital if we are to reach our nation's goal of returning to the Moon and setting foot on Mars. Continuity is desperately needed in long-term strategy, direction and leadership if we are to stay on target for Mars. We, the broader bi-partisan and non-partisan Space community, feel it is our duty to speak up and state our support for keeping Jim Bridenstine as Administrator of NASA in the event Joe Biden wins the next Presidential election for the following reasons:
1) Bridenstine has been one of the most qualified appointees in the current Administration. He has done more for maintaining NASA’s prestige and reputation with the public than any Administrator in recent memory.
2) By communicating with and inspiring the public, as well as keeping the Agency’s bureaucracy running smoothly, Bridenstine has won the respect and admiration of many across the Space community, including those who initially were skeptical of his appointment.
3) He achieves this through an evident and sincere passion for the exploration of space, not only in extending human presence but also for the progress of science itself.
4) His experience as a former politician and former member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology gives him an ability to work within Congress to accomplish priorities, winning over not just politicians but the public at large.
5) Beyond all else he has shown a profound ability to hold contractors to account, from both old and new space, ensuring the safety of American astronauts as our country returns to launching from US soil in US rockets.
We the undersigned appeal to Joe Biden and his transition team to keep Bridenstine’s passionate and effective leadership so we can maintain consistency, and thus continue the progress that has been made in our efforts to expand our understanding and exploration of all that outer space holds for humanity.
