For some reason, this doesn’t seem to have the fanfare and excitement that manned missions and probes like Voyager and Pioneer did. I can’t believe our once proud space program is being reduced to this. Pathetic.
AFDC, Medicaid, Section 8 and WIC ain't free you know. That money has gotta come from somewhere.
Granted, it’s not as exciting. But the space program never promised to reshape our understanding of fundamental physics. This could.
