White House Officials have confirmed that former British Prime Minister, Liz Truss, is to become a senior administrator within NASA with ‘immediate effect’ following an executive directive made by Donald Trump late on Tuesday night.
The appointment follows Mrs. Truss’s appearance at the CPAC conference in Texas last week where Trump officials were said to have been deeply impressed by the “astonishing breadth of her intellect and political vision” as well as her determination to create a MEGA (Make England Great Again) movement in the UK.

Approached by reporters outside her London home, Mrs. Truss confirmed that she would be moving to Florida to take up the role at NASA later this month. In an impromptu statement Truss went on to explain that she was the right woman for the job, because she ‘loved the Phantom Menace’ and believed in a ‘lettuce shaped universe’ that was controlled ‘by the dark forces of the deep space blob’ – before being bundled back inside.
