strangely enough, this is a matter of global concern, as well as minor bragging rights for whichever space program gets that replacement satellite up there fastest. but our politics have paralyzed the USA from taking strong action in this respect.

for the next year or so, we'll be relying on Europe and China to pick up the slack. then the Democrats will be able to start passing budgets that include atmospheric research.
