Letter: Could crowdfunding save threatened observatory?

Published 2 October 2024

From Milan Kralik Jr, Spinnerstown, Pennsylvania, US

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein’s column made me think that if ever there were a project worth saving with a crowdfunding campaign, it would be the Chandra X-ray Observatory. There are millions of scientists, science students and astronomy aficionados around the world who would, I believe, contribute to this worthy cause to save it from the threat of cancellation. Surely NASA could find some protocol that allows it to accept a private donation(24 August, p 20)?
