And according to the civilian researchers that were part of it, it didn’t really end, they just ditched the civilians and kept going.

Satellites are expensive, according to the documentary Third Eye Spies, the program didn’t cost more than a dozen people’s salaries.

They funded MKUltra for 20 years and only discovered a couple new torture methods that aren’t any more effective than the ones they already used. Don’t underestimate the US government’s ability and willingness to waste money.
