Duffy says climate science will ‘move aside,’ with NASA only focusing on space exploration

Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy said Thursday that climate and earth science at the agency will “move aside” as it refocuses solely on space exploration.

“All the climate science and all of the other priorities that the last administration had at NASA we’re going to move aside, and all of the science that we do is going to be directed towards exploration, which is the mission of NASA,” Duffy, who also leads the Transportation Department, told Fox Business.


“That’s why we have NASA — is to explore, not to do all of these earth sciences,” he added.

NASA, which stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Agency, explores both air and space. It has historically conducted science related to both Earth and space, including climate science.

No, it was not supposed to do any Earth sciences - that was the province of NOAA. 'Aeronautics' references airplanes, not air quality - idiot reporters.
