Fortunately there are alternative sources for the data but it is pretty clear that this is 100% malicious. NASA should turn these over to ESA until he's out of office and give Trump the finger. We're really in 'E pur si muove' territory here.

First they came for the satellites, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a space scientist.

You know the rest.

I for one, am glad that we as a nation now have Trump to make these decisions for us. Can you imagine if Biden or Obama made this decision? The recriminations would never end. There would be a media kerfuffle that would go on for ages. Endless congressional committee hearings would ensue, and we'd suffer through every billionaire issuing a press release or a podcast interview denouncing it. Now? Nothing. One or two factual, dispassionate articles in the media and that's it! Decision made correctly! We're all very lucky to have these decisions made correctly for us.

It's such a weight of my mind. No more of this thinking that we had to do all the time. Just one enlightened person is all it took to take on the burden of the USA and in fact all of humanity. I predict the day of his demise will be a national holiday.
