I always thought it was weird NASA was so into ocean exploration, way before it started the “space programs”. Many say NASA stopped in 1978 and went to space instead. Fact checkers….say that’s wrong and NASA is still into ocean exploration missions. Sooo that means they aren’t, right? Because pretty much whatever a fact checking site like Reuters says, it’s generally the opposite. So why would they stop with ocean and go for the space programs? I think the answer is very easy. People can’t explore space by themselves. It’s all about the money boys! And NASA being a major factor in laundering money. Can’t have people proving them wrong in the ocean, so they focused on space..the final frontier of getting massive stacks of cash and telling the public whatever the F you want to. Done.
