Bridenstine: Our goal is to have SpaceX be able to do missions one day without NASA. And so we want to make sure that they& #39;re making decisions, but if we if we see something that we disagree with certainly, we have the right to intervene.
Bridenstine: We& #39;re targeting August 30 for a launch of Crew 1
We are revisiting the astronauts& #39; breakfast since they won& #39;t tell us. Obviously a conspiracy unfolding here

The time at which I devolve into chuckles during a Commercial Crew press conference is happening earlier and earlier as we get closer to flight
We are now discussing the decision to bring back the Worm, Bridenstine: The NASA style guide is very clear The Worm no longer exists. But I write the style guide so I made a determination that for this particular mission, on this particular day we& #39;re bringing back The Worm.
Bridenstine: We& #39;re bringing people together on this mission. We& #39;ve got The Meatball and we& #39;ve got The Worm. And I like both, so we& #39;re going with both.
Ooo @kchangnyt asks a great question about who gets credit for this, Bridenstine: This is a program that demonstrates the success when you have continuity of purpose going from one administration to the next.
Bridenstine gives credit to Bush, Obama, and Charlie Bolden, but then adds: "I will reiterate that the human spaceflight program under President Trump has really blossomed. Our budgets now are as high as they& #39;ve ever been."
