I completely agree the NSF should get more money.
The Astronomy division at the NSF (who is really the first to do a strategic review of existing projects like this) has made the interesting argument that this process will help them get more money. The theory of change is: "In order to get more money, we have to show that we have trimmed as much as we can from the existing program. If we are running a lean, mean, science-machine, we can effectively argue for more funding."
I find this an interesting idea, we'll see if it works. -Miguel F. Morales
