Robert Lightfoot served as Acting Administrator of NASA a record-busting 15 months from January 2017 to April 2018. He led NASA through two budget cycles and coped with the tumultuous transition from President Obama to President Trump. Unusually for an Acting Administrator, he made a difference in policy. Not only did he help raise NASA's budget during his time in office, but he was central in two major decisions. One was the decision not to accelerate a crewed flight around the Moon and the other was the choice to make the Gateway project an official new start for NASA.

保持动力：罗伯特·莱特富特（Robert Lightfoot），2017-2018年，美国宇航局代理局长

从2017年1月到2018年4月，罗伯特·莱特富特（Robert Lightfoot）担任美国宇航局代理局长，经历了创纪录的15个月。他带领美国宇航局经历了两个预算周期，并应对了从奥巴马总统到特朗普总统的艰难过渡。对于代理管理员而言，他与以往不同，他在政策上有所作为。他不仅在任职期间帮助提高了NASA的预算，而且在两个重大决策中居于中心地位。一个决定是不加速绕月球的乘员飞行，另一个决定是使Gateway项目成为NASA的正式新起点。
