The US is forfeiting its leadership in science in general. We’ll be lucky if literally any field that doesn’t directly benefit billionaires escapes this disgusting anti science administration intact. I hope China and ESA are somewhat prepared to pick up the slack on advancing humanity’s scientific interests in space.
Most us citizens don’t view science as a good thing anymore and only idolize businesses. So yeah other countries are gonna leapfrog.
