Yes, 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.
