Lori Garver speaks for all of us. NASA is a pork distributor first, an enforcer of Current Year orthodoxy second, and a space-agency somewhere down the list. We must endorse the message despite its messenger, herself a Current Year scold.
One takeaway is that Garver is hardly in position to talk sexism, and less of ageism, when she is so very careful to reveal Bill Nelson's 79 years.
A happier takeaway, if you like Bezos/Musk/Branson, is that Garver does not see them as sexist. Although this is only going to elicit more sneers like "Onion-Syndicate" Kelly's.
Anyway there are good reasons Garver wasn't promoted further and not just because She Won't Play Ball. Musk might have cause to worry if NASA could pry Shotwell off SpaceX however.
