Re: Time to hit the retros
That would come under the heading of "interfering with the space work".
Think of it as a sports sponsorship. You know the team, you know the game. Having a sponsor try to interfere with the game will piss off a lot of potential customers.
"you can't do X because it will piss Y off ... Government has already cut our budget "
Governments/space agencies have their own objectives separate from the commercial sector. If they actually want to get stuff done, they have to pay for it. Contributions from sponsors are greatly appreciated, thanks, but if an advertiser pulling funding jeopardises an actual mission, was the mission viable in the first place?
