But $50B (or whatever it is now) of blackmail payments to Ukraine to keep them from spilling the beans on US admin corruption, that's no problem??
I suspect that somebody realized the satellite would end up providing data showing that Global Warming, Climate Change, and the rest is a pile of poo. So they had to kill it.
Lol...they should leave it on. Let them keep adjusting the past temp data to show warming. Ita hilarious.
Oh I think methane was dropping too.
Snow Extent in the Northern Hemisphere now Among the Highest in 56 years Increases the Likelihood of Cold Early Winter Forecast both in North America and Europe
And the greenies and climate change alarmists are totally silent about the strongest and most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, which is almost every where almost all the time and nobody can do a thing about it.
Water vapor.
Probably they couldn’t be able to hide its data from people that shows we’re not the problem. Too transparent and data accessible. Monitoring “other ways” lets them control the other ways more closely and limits peoples ability to really see whats going on, or see un-massaged data.
Yes, it’s a whole lot easier and cheaper to simply make up the data out of whole cloth to support their leftist agenda.
So spending $500 million is too much? What if that money proved that the human contribution is insignificant compared to natural forms we can’t control? I would rather spend $500 million on a scientific device than $billions on renewable hardware that does squat.
Maybe Greta will pay for it.
I suspect what someone else posted: They realized that this satellite just might prove that man-made “climate change” is either a lie or not the dire emergency it’s been portrayed as, so they had to kill the satellite.
since when has cost been an obstacle for nasa?
The reason is because that would show global warming is a crock .
We can’t have the truth getting out.
I truly do not understand NASA... They are “The Eye in the Sky” literally!! They have access to how many cameras and telescopes??
People are naturally drawn to the heavens and deep space and with the amount of tech NASA has pointing out there they could create a revenue vein that would fund them completely. But instead we see rarely any new pictures/video and an abundance of fake photoshopped images. It blows my mind.
Cost, my derriere.
Bet the real reason is that Deep State knows the data would tell everyone who cared to look something Deep State didn’t want them to know.
Bad week for CO2 monitoring:

(As Mauna Loa spews out tons of CO2)
More likely they feared it would provide accurate information.
Translation - all the data says their climate claims are Bull💩 so they will go with “Data-less Science” and just tell us that their claims are true without generating the data that disproves them.
NASA has had a string of programs characterized by ballooning costs and serious delays. Maybe they should take a look at their management models.
NASA could spend a little more money looking at the greenhouse gas that is more powerful and plentiful as the real cause of climate change. It is not politically correct to explore the role of water vapor, the Sun, aerosols, and the ocean in climate change.
Perhaps woke management may not be so effective at NASA.
They probably figured out that this satellite would reveal their bullshit to be the bullshit that it is.
Maybe it’s because every time they use satellite measurements it discredits the terrestrial ‘observations’ that they use to promote all the climate hype.
HmmmmMMMM???
I suggest that it was cancelled because data indicated that it would undermine their efforts under the carbon scheme.
