Scientists and Lawmakers Horrified at Trump’s Brutal Budget for NASA

The White House’s proposed 2027 budget would cut NASA’s total funding by 23% and science funding by 47%.

The Planetary Society, scientists, and lawmakers warned the plan could cancel missions, cost jobs, and hurt international partnerships.

House Republicans moved forward with a smaller cut, while Senate hearings showed strong bipartisan resistance to the administration’s proposal.

If Congress does not block the plan, U.S. leadership in space science and parts of the Artemis effort could be weakened.
