Trump is again talking about slashing science budgets for 2027 (although of course Congress have the final say). Here’s some feedback in relation to NASA…….
NASA faces a 23% cut to its total budget and a 47% drop in funding for its science division. More than 40 projects would be terminated. “It’s an extinction-level event for science,” says Casey Dreier, chief of space policy at the Planetary Society, a non-profit organization in Pasadena, California, that advocates for space exploration. “It would undermine and prevent NASA from being the world leader in space exploration.”
Perhaps not directly OMG related but how can that possibly align with the Artemis project the US are busy happy-clapping and potentially (on a small scale), colonising the Moon and mining resources there in future??
Then again does anyone really understand the mind and motives of Trump.
