Duffy Running NASA? Its Perfect Pilot Is...Lauren Sánchez
President Donald Trump missed a great opportunity when he named Sean Duffy as Interim Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Duffy is already serving as Secretary of Transportation with the main qualification that the 53-year won the reality TV show Road Rules: All Stars.
Like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Duffy looks good on camera. But you know who looks better on camera and has actual aeronautic experience?
Lauren Sánchez Bezos.
Here are six reasons why Sanchez Bezos would make a better NASA chief than Duffy.
Sánchez Bezos grew up around aviation. Her father Ray Sánchez worked as a flight instructor and mechanic in New Mexico and later owned a flight school. She reportedly earned a fixed-wing certificate–although her name does not appear in the FAA database–and has trained for her helicopter pilot certification.
Earning a commercial helicopter license requires over a hundred hours of training and includes a written exam which tests knowledge of aerodynamics, weather systems, radio communications, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and crew resource management (CRM) which is a critical part of any passenger operation.
