Proposed cuts to NASA's budget are drawing significant criticism from US lawmakers, notably Senator Chris Van Hollen, who warns such reductions threaten America's status in space exploration. Alongside Representatives Steny Hoyer and Glenn Ivey, Van Hollen is vocal about opposing cuts that could severely impact NASA's operations and programs, particularly at the Goddard Space Flight Center. The proposed cuts, featuring a nearly 50% reduction to NASA's science budget, could hinder future projects and threaten advancements in space science, with concerns expressed about international competitiveness, particularly with China observing the situation.
If you cut this budget, you cut into the heart of America's leadership when it comes to space exploration.
We will fight like hell to stop this assault on American innovation and leadership.
China is cheering this every step of the way.
The proposed cuts include an almost 50 percent reduction to NASA's science budget and could lead to what The Planetary Society called 'a dark age for space science.'
