I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

This is a terrible budget proposal for NASA. While some cuts are justifiable, the largest part of the $5B cut comes out of space science including eliminating funding for "low-priority" climate monitoring satellites. Eliminating climate change research funding doesn't make the problem go away.
