MAGA is fine with this. What are we wasting this money for?!

DeGrasse Tyson gave a talk years ago about how if America won't invest in science, we don't get to name achievements that go down in history. We're gladly handing over to China.

    One of the only good things I said that Trump did in his first term was invest in space. Gave NASA more budget, created Space Force, as ridiculous as it is at this stage in our history... looks like he just took away the one good thing I credited him for.

    The Space Force is perfectly logical. Combine all our miltary's space activity, intelligence, satellites, all of it, into one dedicated branch. No clue how that's working out IRL.
