It seems to just be remote controlled as opposed to someone in a suit this time.

    It’s madness to me this man has been allowed have such a senior and pivotal position in America’s Space Program.

    It’s a bit off-topic, but I think Gwynne Shotwell is overseeing most of the day-to-day operations at SpaceX by this point.

      I would hope so. The Thai Cave Rescue demonstrated to me why that man should never have any decision-making in any engineering project. That he thought a rigid submarine was a solution for bendy caves that even human divers had trouble contorting through was bad enough. That he completely lost his shit when a real engineer pointed out how stupid the idea was is even worse. If those patterns of behavior and decision-making are playing out at the very highest level of America’s Space Program, he is part of the problem not the solution
