I enjoy reading many space.com articles each month. Particularly I am interested in PACE because my brother helped design the satellite. For some reason, the author decided to mention twice that PACE was almost canceled by the previous administration during the article… that is a little redundant but a lot annoying. To get as much support for space programs as possible, it is generally best to leave the political commentary out. Thanks.
