Pretty standard for any Trump-sponsored program.
Yea but ending American technological dominance in space and economics is a central goal of this administration. Their opposition encourages the admin to keep at it.
But there is one billionaire crony who will make a ton of money with this decision. Some of that money will filter back to Trump. This is the reason for every policy change. Has the winning started yet?
He’s kinda past the point of caring about winning votes at this point. We’re at the part of this where he keeps doing progressively worse things over and over again and the majority that Americans gave him keep rubber stamping it all. Game, set, match. Enjoy the dumpster-fire guys.

He has “industry” people telling him to make these decisions because if the govt stops doing it, some business could come along and offer the “service” for a exponentially higher cost to the people using it. With no other providers, they get the monopoly. The reason space industry is against it is because they know that a significant portion of their budgets for projects will now have to go to these subscription fees for monitoring and tracking.
