Well the first 'A' in NASA is for Aeronautics, which since the 1960s has been the poor relation in the Agency. Unfortunately this proposal seems to make that situation even worse.

Do these people think the value of space exploration is literally just putting a flag there and saying “now it’s explored?”

As far as PR for the administration goes, yes, they just declare victory regardless and hope gullible voters believe it. Rename something? Victory? Fire bunch of people? They're all lazy socialists!

So much pointless chaos and destruction just because they can.

I want these idiots to live just long enough to see all the damage they did completely undone so they grasp if only for a moment how they wasted their lives being so toxic.

But the real problem is the people that gave them this power and will keep trying.
