Trump/Musk is cutting NASA budget to a degree that has never been seen.
The science section is facing a cut of 50 percent! This section is also responsible for monitoring Earth and thereby global warming..
19 active projects are cancelled and billions of taxpayer dollars are thereby wasted

From farm to screen: How a TV documentary funded pig emotion research
We now know that pigs' grunts can be translated into underlying emotions after an unusual collaboration between University of Copenhagen biologists and a documentary production company.
