Good people get stuff done, sometimes by calculating the politics, and sometimes by just doing it, image be damned. The idea is, if you have enough street cred, and enthusiasm from the public, and genuine shit to do, you can get up on stage and say "The American rocket we spent $10B on doesn't work." and every reasonable person will kinda shrug and move on. I don't know if the Harris campaign is at that point, but I'd love to see them get there. Every second spent on optics and politics is a second of thrust not spent on reaching a stable, matter-of-fact orbit
