NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory, vital for deep space exploration, may face termination due to budget limitations in the agency's 2025 budget request.
Financial constraints at NASA's science mission directorate are jeopardizing various critical missions, including planetary probes, Mars rovers, and space telescopes, due to insufficient funding.
NASA's scientific aspirations, such as Mars sample retrieval, are hindered by budgetary limitations, despite an annual budget of approximately $7.5 billion for science missions.
The landscape of space exploration is evolving rapidly with competition from countries like China, potentially sparking a new 'Space Race 2.0,' raising concerns in military and national security sectors.
