It is currently unclear why the Trump administration seeks to destroy the satellites, as they are state-of-the-art and were expected to last for several more years. In 2023, an official data review found that the data stored there was "of exceptionally high quality," and they recommended continuing the mission for at least three more years. It comes after a chilling map revealed the US regions where 75% of people will die in a nuclear World War 3.

Literally just Americans simply can’t handle the truth satellites simply measure, nothing more nothing less and they’re ripping it away because it proves us right.

It’s ok, americans. We hate it when we’re right too. Unfortunately for us, we’re always right.

What if they like, just don't do that. What could the president do? Send space force? Fly up himself?

Logistically what would happen is that anyone who stopped it would be fire and replaced with sycophants who will do it.

You could sabotage the system I guess, so said sycophants can't control it, but I'm not sure what you could do with that besides cop a treason charge

I'm going to lathe a reality where the NASA employees refuse to destroy the satellites and occupy the headquarters that is responsible for that

Given how stupid the administration is, this could work
