Who said 'Space is hard.'?

Who said 'Space is hard.'?

• A. Gen Shawn N. Bratton
• B. Elon Musk
• C. General John W. 'Jay' Raymond
• D. General B. Chance Saltzman

Answer: (C)

That line expresses the reality that building and sustaining military space operations is extraordinarily complex, with challenges across technology, organization, and operations in a rapidly evolving domain. General John W. “Jay” Raymond, as the first Chief of Space Operations, led the stand-up of the Space Force and guided its early development, so he is the figure most commonly associated with acknowledging how hard space operations can be. His role put him at the center of aligning personnel, acquisitions, and mission responsibilities in a new service, which is exactly the kind of candid reminder that “space is hard” conveys. The other figures are not publicly linked with that remark in the same context.
