I work on Roman, it was chaos, more than people realize. And it’s hard to see it written down honestly. These are our tax dollars the administration tried to dump down the drain. Decades of experience just tossed aside.

If you think this is a niche issue, and it doesn’t affect you, it does. These were weather predictions projects, crop monitoring data projects, forest fire data collection, flood and natural disaster monitoring. All of these satellite projects that they tried to cut give us real-time data that people don’t realize we use im our daily lives. Even ground water data, which should be of interest to everyone.

This doesn’t even get into the stuff that has been made hyper political by the Trump administration.

    Yeah… I remember the regime ordered NASA to deorbit a brand new weather satellite right after they got in to power because a lot of its data was useful and being used for climate analysis.

    Don’t look up, I guess 😐
