"the #mainstream media doesn’t cover #SpaceExploration and #SpaceScience with the same questioning 🔍 rigor that they reserve for politics. People writing about #SpaceExploration are mostly cheerleaders 🥳 for the cause, rather than independent observers keeping a watchful eye 👀 on how our national monies are spent."

@spaceflight the mainstream media reserves questioning rigor for politics?!
Since when!
Even today social media is full of posts to articles that don't match underlying documentation.
I'd say space exploration gets about the same treatment, and that's a huge problem.
@volkris until recently, there wasnt' any coverage of the amount of money wasted on a monopoly in Europe, unless it was obvious (since ~a decade). How do you explain that ? Did you read the article ?
