It’s fucking heartbreaking to see, as an astronomy and astrophysics enthusiast.
At the same time, I hope that the loss in weather prediction capabilities leads to catastrophic damage to Mar a Lago and as many other of his properties as possible. And I admit that there’s a part of me that’s quite gleeful at the prospect of the maga-leaning parts of the country getting absolutely fucked by unexpected weather phenomena that will escalate in frequency and severity. Maybe it’ll render a bunch of those voters… unable to vote going forward, if you get my drift.
It really sucks. I legit feel like I might get kicked out of the space industry bcz of the dumbass administration. I will end up in the private sector making rockets for space tourism, which isn't inspiring at all bcz, let's face it. Going into space and being a billionaire isn't all that special. But doing science for humankind, that's something to aspire too, and they're trying to take that away from us.
There's so much more to the private sector than tourism rockets! Consider:
Cheap components that don't work
Cheap satellites that don't work
Cheap lunar landers that don't work
Pump-and-dump get-rich-quick schemes
It was pure cringe how all these rich people just got back from space, like they think it's an achievement, it's nothing more than a rich person going to Everest . Shatner was quite disappointed
