Hmmmmm ..?? Maybe he asked for that assignment .. in order to learn what he doesn’t know about NASA or space science in general (even though his state is very involved in space). He’s a very intelligent person .. and I rather believe he’s playing CHESS while the rest of them are playing paper dolls.
I’ve personally never heard Ted Cruz utter an unkind word about NASA or science in general. So, this subject just may not have interested him - and he was involved with other pursuits .. and since there is so much activity taking place with NASA and space science .. it just might afford him the opportunity to be on TV a lot ..?? While .. it also gives him on-the-job information about what’s going on in space exploration.
People are so short-sited .. they never look beyond the end of their nose.
