“Complete”?! Don’t know whether the Trump Administration put the kibosh on the project, but, from 2013 to 2017, the Federal government worked on making the results of Federal studies available to all, including “articles reporting on the latest planetary explorations, computer science breakthroughs, physics discoveries, and cancer research”: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2017/01/09/making-federal-research-results-available-all
It’s one of the ways colleges and universities spend government money. Students make money learning how to do studies. Studies give us information. Sometimes innocuous studies give us insight on things not directly studied.
Sounds like a study worthy of a “Proxmire Award”. The Senator once gave the award to an actual $300,000 study of whether the Navy could use flaming frisbees as flares. They had to spend $150,000 to construct a special device to launch the frisbees out the back of a cargo plane in flight. Turns out that setting a frisbee on fire disrupts the laminar airflow and they just fall down. I could have told them that…for $50,000 tops. :)
