    Not American either, i just hope she chooses Kelly as her VP…a progressive Astronaut in politics is more important than ever.

      Kelly should hold on to his Senate seat for as long as possible. There is zero guarantee that Arizona would send another Democrat to replace him.

        Well, that’s probably a pretty good argument. I wish it would be different…

        Personally, I think we need space to solve climate change faster (or rather, the effects it has on us - climate change is a pretty intricate factor of the climate itself, but we need to be better prepared for those changes and mitigate some of them), U.S. politics are very influential around the world and that pick would hopefully influence ESA and their funding more…
