Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Request

Not only is Trump leveling science funding at NASA, like he did with the National Science Foundation, but look closely at the budget. Beginning next year at 800 million and by 2030, 3.5 billion (nearly 20% of its budget), NASA is required to work towards “Commercial Moon and Mars Infrastructure and Transportation”. The ultimate subsidy for the commercial space sector.

They also eliminated STEM engagement program, which provided funding for the next generation of scientists to participate in NASA opportunities. I can’t wait for all this greatness Trump has been preaching to arrive.

    The truth is though the CCP’s already sending tons of rovers to the moon

    Wow just think how much more they could accomplish if they could chose their own leaders and say things they wanted to say without being thrown in jail and tortured or killed and their capital was in Taipei and they weren’t held back by a ruthless dictator who was only supposed to be a dictator for 10 years but decided he wanted to remain dictator for life.

      Agreed. I don’t like the CCP any more than you do but the truth is if you have long term leadership you can get some projects that would otherwise have been de-railed by opposition parties when power’s transferred to them.
