This is so sad. Here’s hoping a future admin run by an admin that relishes and supports science restores the agency.

These are career long projects, it's not like a cancellation can just be undone, and a team put back together.

What a waste.

Yup. I know. Elections have consequences. When we elect an anti-science president because we are single issue voters aka we think he will lower our taxes or be draconian on the border this is what we get.

What would be great is if the EU took some Russian money to fund all these lost projects. Include KSA in these projects so they don't complain about the confiscation of funds. Suddenly we don't lose 20 to 30 years of scientific advancement.

(Then send the rest to Ukraine, if that's cool, please)

I wonder if starlink can do astronomical interferometry? :)
