I sorta get the why, technically... What I'm having a hard time figuring out is why the Department of Energy is doing astronomy.

Because when the DoE came into being the biggest and most important thing they did was take care of our nuclear stockpile. They got to play with so many billions of dollars but then many of the DoE people at the top were installed by leftist Presidents, combined with the shrunken stockpile, who wanted to take the DoE in different directions and away from the nuclear weapons business.

They are now trying to remain relevant so they are trying to leverage every piece of technology they either have or can invent to keep their jobs.
