SO WHY WOULD NASA CONSIDER DESTROYING SUCH A VALUABLE SPACECRAFT? THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REPORTEDLY ORDERED THE TERMINATION OF THE OCO-2 SATELLITE’S MISSION ALONG WITH A RELATED INSTRUMENT ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION CALLED OCO-3. THIS DECISION COMES DESPITE THE SATELLITES BEING FULLY OPERATIONAL AND CONTINUING TO PROVIDE CRITICAL DATA; NASA ORDERED TO DESTROY FULLY FUNCTIONAL CARBON-MONITORING SATELLITE DESPITE ITS VITAL CLIMATE DATA CONTRIBUTIONS; THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION; “THIS IS ILLEGAL”
