Hot take: defund any space research outside geostationary orbit and move these resources to fixing Earth. Really, we don’t need to know if there were bacteria on Mars 2 billion years ago, we need more green tech, more monitoring of Earth systems and an attempt at carbon scrubbing.
(of course alongside defunding 75% of the military)
