The Trump administration's expected 50% cuts to NASA's science budget raise concerns for over 1,000 employees and the future of space research. Analysts warn that such drastic reductions could jeopardize numerous missions and the nation's leadership in space exploration. Casey Dreier emphasized the catastrophic implications, suggesting it would lead to halting vital projects and job losses in a critical sector. While NASA officials acknowledge the threat, they maintain an optimistic stance, hoping for continued excellence in science despite the rumors surrounding funding cuts.
If this is implemented, it would be nothing short of an extinction-level event for space science and exploration in the United States.
Losing this much money, this fast, has no precedence in NASA's history.
It would force terrible decisions, including turning off scores of active, productive, irreplaceable missions, halting nearly all new mission development.
We haven't had any information yet about the budget, and I hate planning something on rumors and speculation.
