It’s because the Moderates (aka. Republicans in blue suits) control the party and it’s been this way for far too long.
It’s the same reason Nancy Pelosi kept stepping on AOC’s toes and even worked to keep her out of key committee positions, despite her being popular with a lot of Democratic voters.
You should check out the NEO Surveyor mission. Planned launch is in 2027 :)
I’m guessing it would depend on how early they’re detected. I’m not involved in planning or anything, just putting what I know about them out there. But yes, they would be who NASA calls when they find something.
I know they were involved in the DART mission. With the satellites used being launched and operated out of Vandenberg, a Space Force base.
They mainly manage our satellites. Including communications, intelligence gathering, GPS, missile detection systems and monitor/protect them from attack/EM interference. That includes all of our civilian satellites.
They also make sure we (the whole planet) don’t end up like the dinosaurs. Which is nice.
I was tired and it felt ranty after reading it back. Was also super off-topic. So I just deleted it.

This has always blown my mind. Watching people willingly allow Big Brother-esque devices into their home for very, very minor conveniences like turning on some gimmicky multi-colored light bulbs. Now they’re literally using home “security” cameras that store everything on some random cloud server. I’ll truly never understand.
