@badastro Not to mention the damage to NSF astrophysics and space related projects. If I'm not mistaken, I saw a story that lack of funding for LIGO may cause the gravitational wave interferometers to shut down. Never mind more conventional optical observatories...

@badastro anything to help Musk

@badastro

SpaceX is the new NASA with success rate of DOGE. Way to go TACOland.

@badastro I do have a theory why this is the case. Like religion and other dictatorships/authoritarian countries, totalitarianism is key to the success of the organization. Without totalitarianism in religion it would be classified as mythology like with Greek and Roman religions (now called Greek and Roman mythology). Similarly, if a country adopts totalitarianism, the more control they have over their citizens and voting system.

@badastro what else would you expect from someone who thinks that science is terrible and nothing good can ever come from it? try - vehicles, concrete, phones, computers, medicines, food managment, metal working, essentially everything we have today.

if you get rid of science, we revert back to the stone age.

@badastro please call your reps.

@badastro well, the space program of NASA took off thanks to nazi scientifics know-how, and now a dumb nazi is finishing with the know-how acquired since then. Those are historical ironies! It’s crazy how your leaders/deep state is fucking everything you got.

@badastro oooooh... Touch NASA and touch us directly.. :angryglitch:

@badastro don't even really know what to say hmmnnn

@badastro

@badastro My husband works for NASA, specifically NASA Earth. Yanno, the people who make the fire maps that save lives?

Reading your article: how the fuck is it "America First" if these assholes are giving information to our enemies?

Republican voters love being lied to. That's all I can think. They love being told one thing when leadership is actually doing another.

Anyway. Thanks for posting this. People need to know what's going on.
