I was digging through the archives looking for my first Veteran’s Day post in 2001, and I ran across this fisking of an op-ed on space policy from The Economist. It holds up pretty well, I think. I wish that they had followed my advice then. We’d be a lot further ahead.
When it means “more fear.”
I think/hope that the climate grift is on its last legs.
I despise the Groyper movement, but if you want to understand where Fuentes gets purchase with young men I will tell you how it happened by telling you about my experience at the orientation night when my son joined elementary school band:

In this scenario, which is basically almost an interest-only loan, you don’t really own your home; you’re just renting it from the bank.

The Cold Civil War is defrosting, and I don’t think the left will ultimately be happy with the results.
I’m not sure — he’s sometimes subtle — but one gets the impression that he doesn’t like it.
It will be quite amusing if Duffy has goaded him into beating SLS/Orion to the Moon.
I’m glad that he’s realized it was politically stupid to say that the Moon “is a distraction.”

Why he (finally) turned on the climate alarmists and said it isn’t an apocalypse.
I don’t know why anyone ever took him seriously on the subject in the first place. Just because you’re rich doesn’t mean you’re smart.
Duffy wants to recompete HLS.

Delete unnecessary parts and processes ==> If Starship can land 100 T of stuff on the Moon, or fly >10 T to and from the Moon from LEO without refueling, all other parts of the NASA so-called "architecture" are unnecessary, regardless of how many tens of billions of dollars have… https://t.co/Gna5xuX9GO

There have been many dud NASA administrators, some of which looked good on paper (e.g., Dick Truly). Webb was a lawyer, but even he had experience in the aviation industry. What are Duffy's qualifications? You need to at least know which end the fire comes out of.
