You must know that a lot of NASA science projects have been cancelled or severely cut back in order to focus on, basically, repeating Apollo with slightly more modern technology. That is not ‘space research’. Nor is anything that happens on the ISS ‘research’. It is entertainment. Hugely expensive, risky and dishonestly promoted entertainment.

There was a choice for NASA between putting some more men on the moon, or funding a pretty large number of experiments in cosmology and space science. I believe all the experiments had the possibility to find something really new…
Well, not much of a choice, because in the end they had to do what the President wanted.
