Yeah this is kinda the same pattern we’ve been seeing tbh.
The White House is proposing a $5.6B cut for 2027, with science getting hit the hardest ($3.4B, ~23%) �
Reuters
Overall budget would drop to ~$18.8B and kill a bunch of “lower priority” missions �
Houston Chronicle
Real talk: this isn’t final. Congress has already rejected similar cuts before and boosted NASA back up.
Feels more like: propose big cuts → negotiate → land somewhere in the middle
But yeah, if even part of it goes through, science/research is what usually gets trimmed first… not the headline moon/Mars stuff.

Will someone think about the poor children in Iran who remain unbombed because Americans won’t give up their Medicaid and Medicare?
Does the USA really need to go to the moon while bridges in Iran are still forced to remain standing?
MIBA!
Make Iran Bombed Again!

Leave NASA alone or China will own the moon. Short sightedness bites em in the ass again.

We just had our most publicized launch two days ago and they want to cut the budget? What’s sad is the proposed amount would do so much good for a whole year at NASA but funds the Iran war for only 5 and a half days

Elon needs time to catch up.
One day his rocket will make it out of the atmosphere before blowing up.

Is this because Artemis 2 stole the headlines from his speech?

Elon must have made a call. He wants the space industry privatized.
