Sure, but that headline is there for Business Insider's benefit. If it helps Nasa, cool. But I don't think Business Insider cares about what Nasa is doing beyond the fact that it may drive traffic to them.

Did you read the article?

Yes. If they were quoting Nasa saying "We needed this win," I would stand corrected. But nope. It's BI using the term "win."

Let me know if I have to repeat myself again.

It’s not clickbait, it’s language.

They have an entire section on this and explain it, it isn’t really hyperbole.

Had they not mentioned or explained the language they used then I’d agree.

NASA depends on funding from the government

And the government accepts cool rocks in trade?

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Sadly, yes, if the rocks generate enough interested congresspeople.

Yeah, they're already stocked on space noodles, unfortunately.

The article actually goes into detail on that point.
