If this was a different administration with the intent to refocus on a different solution, I'd see some logic.
But this isn't a smart or curious or noble administration, it's stupid and petty and careless. This is just a stop, not a restart, not a rethink.
The Space Age is over.
There's always Europe, China and maybe Russia while they still have the cash
This administration is a wrecking ball, but if there's a next one, they'll be well positioned to rebuild - unburdened by past mistakes that were kept around through momentum and the unwillingness of savvy career politicians to trash their reputations by passing extremely unpopular policy like the current admin is doing.
