Comment on NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purposeparent

Comments

I enjoy the "climate" of discourse this administration has bought to the table, everything requires massive levels of justification now. Of course, the funding for this mission would've been approved by congress, so initially it was justified, but ...not anymore...

For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and many private agricultural consulting companies use the data to forecast and track crop yield, drought conditions and more.

Here's an idea, why doesn't the administration tell us why it's ending the programs?

It is unclear why the Trump administration seeks to end the missions.

Does America just run on Trump's vibe now?

Perhaps the anomaly isn’t this administration, but all the others that somehow yawned while spending billions of dollars on satellite programs that provide data hardly anyone finds valuable or even useful.
