I didn't read it like he did either.

"And the ousting of one of the longest-serving stalwarts in the agency shows how far the White House and Nasa’s politically appointed leadership are willing to go towards disrupting Nasa and attempting to break through the bureaucracy many think has stilted its exploration efforts for years."

This line says a lot. Seems like the guy in charge was playing politics.
Things like this certainly don't help either, and the guy was demoted not fired. Seems you didn't bother to read it all the way through before you put your "Trump is bad" spin on it. :andy:
