US President Donald Trump appointed July 9. Transport Minister Sean Duffy for the temporary administrator of NASA and appreciated his “huge work” with the conversion of infrastructure. Duffy, 53, enthusiastically accepted the role and tweeting: “🚀 it honors to accept this mission. It’s time to take over space. Let’s run”.
This step came after Trump suddenly withdrew the nomination for billionaire Jared Isaacman in May, and his democratic ties described as “inappropriate” due to the contraction of SpaceX Elon Muska with NASA.
Who is Sean Duffy?
Duffy, former Congressman Wisconsin and MTV The Real World: Boston (1997), will lead NASA while maintaining its transport at 24% of the budget threatening scientific missions.
In the 1990s the Hotel Striptease Video Sparks Backlash
The renewed clip MTV shows Duffy at the age of 20 and performs a stunning striptease in a towel, dancing over the garbage along with obscene activities. The shots, filmed for Spin-off in the real world of 1998, were viral in February 2025.
Duffy’s former star Montan McGlynn prevented it: “We were at our 20 years … looking for fun.” The reactions of social media to this problem were scary.
Critics questioned Duffy’s judgment as they prepare in sight of NASA budget of $ 18.8 billion.
Meanwhile, NASA is facing a talent crisis because more than 2,100 higher employees, including Mars and Asteroid Scientists, leave in the middle of a trump pressure. The crossings coincide with the focus of Duffy on transport: Refundable “Awakening of Dei Politician” and environmental rules. Former NASA Science Chiefs warn that exodus employees and budget images threaten planetary defense projects such as Osiris-Apex, which study asteroids threatening Earth.
Duffy, the father of nine without a space background, now leads an agency where 85% of the outgoing employees can handle “critical” work. Isaacman, Muska’s original selection, approved Duffy, but skeptics ask: Can a TV star reality navigate in an emergency?
