"The spacecraft can also be refueled, and it can refuel others."
Before he became NASA administrator in 2018, Jim Bridenstine was a naval aviator who then served as a US representative from Oklahoma for three terms, sitting on the Committee on Armed Services. Now, five years after leaving NASA, Bridenstine is returning to those military roots.
This week, Bridenstine was named chief executive of a Maryland-based company building "advanced maneuverable spacecraft" called Quantum Space.
"For us, national security space is a priority," said Bridenstine in an interview.
