*IF* this comes to pass:
Trump to Cut NASA’s Climate Change Budget, Shift Focus to the Moon
Regardless of your views on global warming, it’s really not NASA’s job. It’s the NOAA’s job. NASA should always and forever look *outwards,* towards the future. They should be in the business of advancing technology. And while weather satellites and the like are fine, they’re no longer really what NASA is about.
Now, if Trump could shuffle the ISS over to the State Department where it belongs, then maybe NASA can get to work on a *proper* space station. An all-American one, in a 28-degree inclination orbit, with artificial gravity, actual space construction and a spacecraft hangar for Moon/Mars ship construction,a permanent crew measured in *at* *least* dozens, blackjack and hookers.
