Surely you must be joking. If we are looking among forum users... I think Blackstar would be a far better candidate. Or Wayne Hale. Or HMXHMX, or Jongoff ....Or even Jim!
This thesis, that having a fan run things is actually a good idea,...More seriously, I would hope whoever it is truly loves space and wants to see us expand outward.

I get a not-found error from senate.gov.More generally, does anyone know how to find testimony submitted for the record in general, for both House and Senate? There are some things I've been trying to track down for years.

His nomination will now head to a full Senate vote which will probably take place before Thanksgiving.
QuoteHis nomination will now head to a full Senate vote which will probably take place before Thanksgiving.http://www.news9.com/story/36794165/bridenstine-one-step-closer-to-nasa-leadership-positionThat's probably a guess on their part. But it would make sense that the full Senate would vote on Bridenstine's nomination prior to the Thanksgiving recess. https://www.senate.gov/legislative/2017_schedule.htm
The chamber [i.e., the Senate] could also continue to process nominations during the schedule extension. Republicans hope the threat of staying in Washington, D.C. longer could help pressure Democrats into supporting a large package of nominations, similar to one passed in August.
Marco Rubio's reservations put Trump's NASA nominee in jeopardyLEDYARD KING | THE NEWS-PRESS Washington bureauUpdated 7 hours agoFlorida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio continues to harbor deep reservations about Rep. Jim Bridenstine’s nomination to be NASA’s next administrator, dimming the Oklahoma Republican’s chances of running the space agency.
There is talk of a vote in the Senate on the nomination of @RepJBridenstine to be @NASA Administrator around 11 Dec. The vote will likely be split along party lines with a slight edge to confirm him - with Pence as a potential tie breaker.
