An influential group of advisers on lunar exploration says NASA is canceling its Resource Prospector mission to explore the moon’s surface in the 2020s — and urged the agency’s newly sworn-in administrator, Jim Bridenstine, to reverse the decision.



Bridenstine tweeted LINK

We’re committed to lunar exploration @NASA. Resource Prospector instruments will go forward in an expanded lunar surface campaign. More landers. More science. More exploration. More prospectors. More commercial partners. Ad astra!



I’ve got a really bad feeling about him

Go watch Mission Control on Netflix. Great story about the engineers during Apollo.

Just rewatch Hidden Figures. Without black female engineers, NASA is helpless.

What NASA needs is congress to make up its mind on the direction it goes in and stop changing it every election cycle and pulling the rug out of the projects mid way through.

Yeah I thought it was common knowledge that Oprah, Queen Latifah, and Precious made it possible to put a man on the moon not a bunch of racist white nerds.
