The president’s proposed NASA budget does 2 things well: it cedes US leadership in STEM, and it funnels taxpayer dollars to companies and their CEOs. Moving the goal to Mars means that companies get to spend a LOT of tax dollars in development, rather than having to deliver actual results.

It's not a dire wolf. It's a gray wolf clone with 20 dire-wolf gene edits, and with some dire wolf traits. And here's my story! Gift link:

One of NASA’s core principals is/was inclusion—although you wouldn’t be able to figure that out now because they are systematically shutting down websites and deleting entire public reports.
