I work on one of these telescopes. Got the news today thay they're trying to close Goddard, and the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope, and basically all Earth observing satellite work. It would completely upend our ability to predict 7 day weather, extreme weather events like hurricanes, and make science basically inaccessible from space. I'm surprised they aren't moving the funding over to SpaceX entirely.
This is awful. Iโm so sorry.
The anti science and intellectualism attacks has gotten worse. And stem was already teetering into abyss before, in terms of funding and stem majors finding jobs
