      Possibly, but I don’t think so in this particular case.

      He may be a billionaire, but he’s not a bad pick for the role. He already has experience in the industry funding missions launched with SpaceX and he has been to space multiple times. Not just for a joyride like some other billionaires, but doing actual scientific research on those missions, including several studies and proof of concept things for NASA and SpaceX with Crew Dragon.

      Only 3 of the 14 NASA Administrators to date have even been in space and had a chance to experience the overview effect directly.
