NASA chief says he will not stay on in a Biden administration

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said he plans to resign from his role with the agency under a Biden administration.

“The right question here is, ‘What’s in the best interest of NASA as an agency, and what’s in the best interest of America’s exploration program?’” Bridenstine told Aerospace Daily. “You need somebody who is trusted by the administration … including the [Office of Management and Budget], the National Space Council, and the National Security Council, and I think that I would not be the right person for that in a new administration.”
