Great. Maybe pull all the bucks out of the Muslim outreach and back towards this?

This is just the first of many telescopes that will be ‘disabled’ to allow the alien invasion force to approach Earth unobserved!

Kepler is powered by four solar panels, and the spacecraft must execute a 90-degree roll every 3 months to reposition them toward the sun while keeping its eye precisely aimed. Kepler launched with four wheels to control that motion — and one of them failed last year.
Yesterday, a second wheel appears to have failed as well, and the space telescope was placed in “thruster-controlled safe mode” yesterday, said NASA spokesman J.D. Harrington.
“Unfortunately, Kepler isn’t in a place where I can go up and rescue it,” John Grunsfeld, associate administrator, science mission directorate at NASA said during a hastily arranged press conference Wednesday afternoon.

This is not a great tragedy. Kepler completed its primary mission already.
Build and launch a better replacement.

How about we pull all of the bucks out of all this dreamer foolishness, and recognize that we can’t afford this tax and spend crapola!
