I don’t know the guy and if Trump chose him I’m sure he’s incompetent, but this take is absurd. He’s not being chosen to become an astronaut himself, and in any case riding the subway doesn’t somehow prepare you for flying to Mars.
It’s ironic that his original pick, while a blatant issue due to nepotism and coming from Elon… Jared Isaacman does actually know Space and has experience in orbit. Anyone that’s experienced the Overview Effect is almost surely a better option for leading NASA than most other choices, especially this dude.
In fairness, space is as far away from the subway as anybody’s ever been.
