While adaptability and resourcefulness are valuable traits, they are not unique to monkeys and can be found in human leaders as well. In addition, the consequences of a mistake made by a monkey leader in a critical situation could be catastrophic. We cannot risk such a gamble with the future of NASA and the safety of its astronauts.

With proper screening and training, a capable monkey leader could emerge who could handle the immense responsibility of leading NASA. It's important to explore all options and not limit ourselves based on species.
