If NASA went on Patreon I'd gladly help fund them if it meant they could just do great science without needing to worry about 'impact'

- lopmotr 8y agoBut to get Patreons to fund them, they'd have to make exciting press releases. That's sort of what they're already doing - make Americans excited about it so they vote for politicians who continue to fund them. I'll bet there are already endeavors on Patreon that you're not funding because they haven't been promoted enough to sound very exciting.
