The first Ars Live event of the year featured a discussion on NASA's future amidst a changing political climate. Space journalists Christian Davenport and Joey Roulette explored various challenges facing the agency during the Trump administration, notably highlighting the termination of Jared Isaacman's NASA administrator nomination. They also discussed tensions between Trump and Elon Musk, which impact NASA's prospects, particularly the humans-to-Mars mission. The journalists emphasized the relevance of their reporting during this dynamic period, suggesting it will be seen as a pivotal time in space exploration history.
It's a fascinating time right now to be a space journalist, to do what we get to do, to write about what we get to write about at this time.
Everyone says, you know, journalism, it's a first rough draft of history. I believe that to be true.
