    The US administration’s latest funding proposal, which aims to cut even deeper, might get struck down, but even if it does, planning long term (for example, for the Habitable Worlds Observatory – a telescope capable of directly imaging habitable worlds) is becoming complicated when every year brings a new fight over budget.

    Listen guys, we can’t go blowing taxpayers money on stupid shit like advancing humanitys knowledge of the cosmos we inhabit. We need $140 billion fucking dollars to do meaningful stuff like kick all the brown people out of America…

    I fucking hate this place…
