NASA chief Jim Bridenstine won't stay on under new president

 NASA will be getting a new top dog once President-elect Joe Biden is in office.

Current space agency administrator Jim Bridenstine, a Trump appointee who took office in 2018, plans to leave his post even if he's asked to stay on because NASA will "need somebody who is trusted by the administration," he told Aviation Week. A source familiar with the matter confirmed Bridenstine's plans to CNN Business.

The news comes as a surprise to the space community, as many stakeholders who had been pressing for the Biden camp to keep Bridenstine in his role.


But his comments to Aviation Week confirmed his desire to exit the role even if he is asked to stay. Bridenstine positioned his decision as one that would serve NASA's best interests.

"What you need is somebody who has a close relationship with the president of the United States. You need somebody who is trusted by the administration.... including the OMB [Office of Management and Budget], the National Space Council and the National Security Council, and I think that I would not be the right person for that in a new administration," Bridenstine told Aviation Week.
