separate clowns and state

I wish I could believe that was possible, but as Mark Twain said "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself." He said that over 100 years ago. Since then it's only gotten worse. Zero improvement in a century. How many elections during that time? How many clowns elected/appointed to posisions of power? How many decisions, like this NASA one, based on partisan political whims instead of hard science (or hard money).

Scientists usually don't have enough money to put and maintain hyperspectral cameras in space

Government doesn't have the money for that either unless they print it.

They would with a balanced budget. That's a choice
