    Happily, though, NASA isn’t run by internet poll 👍

      It is ultimately run by elected representatives though. Popular opinions matter

        I think they do occasionally toss a mission into the agenda because it will capture the popular imagination. NASA has it pretty well dialed in. They serve science so liberals are happy and they have big explodey rockets and a history of competing against enemies so conservatives are happy. You don’t get to half a percent of the national budget without a good sales pitch.
