> Sounds like a NASA admin licking the boots of his patron.

Yes, it is. Keep reading. The real science comes after that. Or go straight to the Nature article, I guess.

I stopped reading, right there.

Are you proud of yourself? Do you think you're sticking it to the cheeto by refusing to learn from an article that briefly mentions him?

I really hate that I have to defend something the Trump administration did, but sucking up to the current president is something that all government organizations do.

Here's a NASA press release celebrating the third anniversary of when Obama gave a speech: https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-marks-third-anniversa...

And this NASA press release leads with this quote: "Since President Biden and Vice President Harris were sworn in one year ago, their administration has made generational progress for Americans". https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/one-year-into-the-biden-ad...

NASA press releases have always had "overt political propaganda". It's just more noticeable now because we're on the other side.

Thanks for these examples, I was wondering how much of a history there might be of it.

If they don't want their funding yanked at the drop of a (red) hat, they have no choice but to suck up.
