[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there is anything where democrats and republicans can agree, it is that NASA is the heart of America. Why would they defund the launch of this important instrument?[/quote] It might not be a financial priority right now. Also, it may be that private industry could build it cheaper and faster, with the US simply leasing time along with other countries. NASA has already taken advantage of the cost savings (and functional) SpaceX rockets. Is this any different?[/quote] this is a truely unique instrument that only the US has built. It is cutting edge science. not launching it means irreplaceable knowledge is lost (until the Chinese build one... I guess they are seeing their opportunity) https://science.nasa.gov/mission/roman-space-telescope/[/quote]
