Jeff Foust and Eric Berger point to a White House proposal cutting NASA funding by about 23 percent, with science, the ISS, and education targeted, sparking backlash for coming right after Artemis II launched and complicating Jared Isaacman's job.
The White House is proposing $18.8 billion for NASA in FY27, a 23% cut to NASA's 2026 enacted funding. Science, ISS, and education major targets of the proposed cuts.
Cutting NASA right after Artemis II launches is crazy work
trying to cut NASAs budget in the middle of Artemis II, such a stupid fucking administration
propose a 1/4 budget cut to NASA right after your new administrator launches his new base plan and astronauts fly to the moon
It's hard to get too exercised about the ridiculous White House budget for NASA, because Congress will address a lot of its issues. But this will make Isaacman's job a lot more difficult than it need be.
