That's quite a statement. Exactly which Senator is gaining something by sending a probe to the sun? Which lobbyist is getting a kickback for that Mar's lander? Is the President's now defunct foundation financially tied to the new space telescope???
I mean, really, the NASA funded science missions are based on "political winds"??? NASA and the larger space science community is not about "true intellectual interests"???
