I feared that Musk/Trump’s obsessions would kill NASA science, & it now looks likely. Catastrophic, unprecedented, & will lead to much waste: ‘scopes in orbit unused, active missions terminated. Awful, sad, reckless and to save a tiny fraction of a budget mostly spent on expensive crewed spaceflight

Our hopes and ability to reach for the stars are being crushed.
All because of 2 very big egos and their pleasure sport of destroying instead of building.
Very difficult to do missions further out without plutonium RTGs.
These people only know destruction. And whatever they build is only to destroy.
