    She is a Biden appointee. Just say’n. But to be fair, it’s not like Elon hasn’t launched thousands of satellites and therefore may know a little about how to manage heat transfer in space. Oh wait! SpaceX has done just that.

    Of course it used to be considered impossible to fly a reusable booster. Until SpaceX did it.
