NASA budget proposal boosts human exploration — at expense of science – “Skinny” funding prioritizes a focus on Moon and Mars missions over science and projects characterized as “grossly expensive.” By Jack Daleo | Published: May 2, 2025 | Last updated on May 5, 2025 – ASTRONOMY “Slashing NASA’s budget by this much, this quickly, without the input of a confirmed NASA administrator or in response to a considered policy goal, won’t make the agency more efficient — it will cause chaos, waste the taxpayers’ investment, and undermine American leadership in space,” The Planetary Society said in a statement Friday.
My letter to reps:
Defunding science at NASA to give big contracts with taxpayer money to private businesses and tech tycoons is not right for our future nor for the taxpayers of today. Slashing science budgets are causing chaos and waste taxpayer investment. Anyone serious about cutting waste shouldn’t want that.
