Yes. It’s to bad some White House does not examine our priorities and “dictate” that “scientists” don’t get every game they want; that only serious, most practical capital projects need apply; practical to what we can do in the next 50 years, not what we might do in a few hundred years.
I agree with you that we should be doing more in the solar system. I just think you are failing to appreciate the boost that all space-efforts would get if we got strong evidence of bio-activity from investigations of distant atmospheres. Anyway I agree with you on a lunar based telescope. Especially at the lunar south pole. What a great way to combine both endeavors!
