"The budget proposal was as 'dismal as expected,' and that 'JPL is hoping that Congress will again dismiss it. We can only hope.'"
"This proposal needlessly resurrects an existential threat to US leadership in space science and exploration."
"The President has stated his desire that NASA remain the world's premier space agency. The White House's budgeting office is out of step with this broad, bipartisan consensus."
"The requested funding levels are sufficient for NASA to meet the Nation's high expectations and deliver on all mission priorities."
Artemis II has achieved a historic milestone by surpassing Apollo 13's distance record. However, the proposed FY 2027 budget suggests a significant reduction in NASA's funding from $24.4 billion to $18.8 billion. This includes drastic cuts to science funding and space operations. Despite this, exploration funding is set to increase. Reactions from NASA and advocacy groups express concern over the potential impact on US leadership in space science and exploration, while NASA's administrator emphasizes the need for efficiency in meeting mission priorities.
