"specialised equipment and electronics designed to test spacecraft have already been removed and thrown out."

Trump probably had a free-for-all, going-out-of-business, give away. That's very expensive equipment. It probably went to Musk, Bezo, Jared Isaacman or any other filthy-rich POS who wants a hand out from our tax dollar expenditures.

Keep paying your taxes everyone so that we can fund all these billionaires.
