Biden administration picks Kamala Harris to head National Space Council, touts her as ‘perfect person’ to lead US space policy

The US government is again using its space program as a virtue-signaling tool, choosing VP Kamala Harris to head the National Space Council, where, among other “priorities,” she will focus on diversity and climate change.
Newly confirmed NASA chief Bill Nelson praised the decision on Saturday, saying Harris is “the perfect person to lead the federal government's space policy.” He didn't cite any specific credentials that make Harris the ideal leader for the council, such as relevant experience, education or a passion for space exploration.
“The Vice President is the perfect person to lead the federal government’s space policy," says Sen. Bill Nelson, who the U.S. Senate confirmed as our 14th administrator.

Harris is a lawyer by training, whose top issues as a senator and failed presidential candidate included criminal justice, race, climate change, middle-class tax cuts, government-run healthcare, promoting a $15 minimum wage, and protecting abortion rights. She was also hailed as the first female vice president, the first black vice president and the first vice president of South Asian descent.
