NASA's charter, from day one, has been split between researching the

for the most part, it's done a pretty good job of that regardless of
the administration it has operated under, because for the most part,
it has had good leadership, and has not operated with any significant
political bias.

Until now, it has never been lead by somebody who denies scientific
fact.

Physics at an experimental is fine by and large but astrophysics is an effin joke as it is based on RA/Dec - a calendar scaffolding where one year does not equate to one orbit of the Earth.

Just a strange group of people who are unable to see where timekeeping for relative motions such as space flight can be retained but completely hopeless for modeling motions, solar system structure and particularly cause and effect between the Earth's motions and terrestrial sciences.

Lazy and stupid within the walls of NASA, moderated forums or any institution, a lot of work to do and nobody around to do it.
