I disagree with you.
This post about US's NASA launching from earth a spaceship carrying
a nuclear reactor to the moon,
is definitely related to astronomy.
Sending humans to the Moon, and/or Mars certainly contributes to
scientific study.

AI Overview
Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects (stars, planets, 
galaxies, black holes) beyond Earth's atmosphere, using observation, 
physics, and data analysis to understand the universe's origin and 
evolution.

The other newsgroups I included are also relevant.
The expense, and risks, of this endeavor are certainly
effected by politics and economics.

There are too many critics.
Critics complain of people doing postings.
It seems the goal of some critics is to stop all postings.
This is leading to most newsgroups becoming totally
quiet - in other words "dead".
