I agree with depoliticizing space where possible
ER's recent post was one which could have easily been answered without invoking politics.
I am not sure about this one. I wonder if there is such a thing as a non-political post involving NASA and when NASA is the subject and the link involves congressional hearings and politicians, I wonder even more.
Space is often political and while I am not usually interested in the political arguments it is sometimes impossible to avoid the obvious.
Was the original post political from the get go? Arguably, it was.
