"The White House's budgeting office has put forward the same budget cuts to NASA and NASA science that were rejected by overwhelming bipartisan majorities in Congress last year."
"The Planetary Society is deeply disappointed by this budget proposal, which needlessly resurrects an existential threat to US leadership in space science and exploration."
The Trump administration's proposed budget for NASA in 2027 seeks to reduce funding by 23% compared to the 2026 budget. This includes a drastic 47% cut to the agency's science directorate, potentially affecting 40 missions. The proposal has drawn criticism from space advocacy groups, who express disappointment and highlight that similar cuts were previously rejected by Congress. The budget cuts pose a significant threat to the United States' leadership in space exploration and science.
