I don't care about the FDA. NASA plays a very important role, one which they have great expertise at, in instrumentation for measuring earth's climate from outer space.
It's irresponsible to disregard all of that for a vague notion of "mission creep".
- nonbel 10y agoIt really is not vague at all. You give people more responsibility with less time/funding and everything goes to shit. I recommend reading that report to see how it works.
- saboot 10y agoYes, it is vague. NASA's research is invaluable and cannot be done in a different agency. It is in agreement with NASA's research directive. It does not prevent any other area NASA engages with including space exploration. You are imposing your own standards on NASA and concluding they are mishandling funds because of it. The objection isn't that mission creep exists in places, but that it is wholly inappropriate as an argument for eliminating NASA from conducting climate research.
