This the best we got?



"NASA Administrator Bill Nelson is being mocked for suggesting the far side of the moon is always "dark" and can't explain why China is interested in exploring that part of the moon.

"What do you think the Chinese are trying to get at, at the back side of the moon?" Rep. David Trone (D-MD) asked Nelson at a congressional hearing last week.

"They are going to have a lander on the far side of the moon, which is the side which is always in dark. Uh, we're not planning to go there," he said."

Maybe outer space just isn't his thing, He's probably well versed on the various pronouns and genders

According to Wikipedia he's an attorney and a career politician, but he did get a ride to space in Columbia just before the Challenger disaster. I guess that makes him an "astronaut".

I guess that’s why his title is “Nasa Administrator,” and not “Nasa Chief Engineer.”
