I mean , you admittedly are basing that on having done 12 puzzles on lichess . Or am I misreading it somehow ? Alright , you edited out the part I was referring to , so nevermind . <| sep |> So you want to create a whole new bureaucracy to build , launch and operate satellites , or you want to get rid of satellites and earth observations all together ? Neither . Tell me what other agency has launch capability , other than the Air Force ? We don ' t need another agency to launch rockets . United launch alliance , SpaceX , Rocket Lab , and Orbital ATK all have operational launch vehicles for delivering payloads to low earth orbit . Take your pick . Also tell me , how is NASA going to get to space without going through the atmosphere ? Because NASA needs the absolutely best weather and climate forecasting in order to plan launches . That ' s mission essential . One does not need to specialize in climate science to get good weather reports on launch day . Also , how are they going to develop instruments to explore other planets ? They must develop them here on earth so that they can be applied to other planets . The same way they develop them now . Mostly in international collaborations . I ' m overseas right this minute at an organisation in Europe which builds a range of instruments for space exploration . Heaps of people develop instruments of all kinds or want to develop them . NASA is not the only organisation which builds space instruments .
