Crap! Here we go again.
Jim Bridenstine will step aside as NASA chief when President-elect Biden takes over, even if he's asked to stay on:

I know, it makes sense. I see it in business world all the time. When the guy that picked you moves on, that's usually a good sign for you to head to the door. It's just, Bridenstine was doing so well, and we had forward progress with Artemis, the SLS, and commercial space.
Space travel has always been a political football: a new administration takes the helm and it's out with the old. We saw it with Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton,... There is always a reshuffling of programs and priorities. Hope it will be for the best.
