Keith’s note: I co-authored an opinion piece in the Houston Chronicle with Lisa Gray: “Make America Great in Space Again? Pfft. Trump is wrecking what we already have.“ — “When it comes to exploring the cosmos, the Trump administration’s quasi-official mantra is “Make America Great in Space Again.” But here’s the thing: NASA is already great. Right now.” More below.

Keith’s note: The NASAWatch page on Facebook has been restored after several unsuccessful appeals made by me to Meta. It was deleted (apparently – and I am guessing) because I was impersonating NASA. It took them 20 years to notice. Thanks to the exposure given by the Houston Chronicle to this deletion, a NASAWatch reader with a connection to META saw that this deletion had happened and the NASAWatch page on Facebook has been restored. Many thanks to both of you!
