Die US-Regierung plant drastische Kürzungen im #NASA-Wissenschaftsbudget – von 7,3 auf 3,9 Milliarden Dollar.

Betroffen wären zentrale Missionen wie die Probenentnahme auf dem Mars und das Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

Lediglich #Hubble und #Webb sollen weiterhin finanziert werden. Fachleute bezeichnen die Vorschläge als tiefgreifend und warnen vor dem Verlust laufender und geplanter Projekte.

Update. "Massive cuts to #NASA science proposed in early White House budget plan"
washingtonpost.com/science/202

"NASA’s science budget could be cut nearly in half under an early version of President Donald Trump’s budget proposal to Congress, a move that would terminate billions of dollars’ worth of ongoing and future missions…'This is an extinction-level event for NASA science,' said Casey Dreier, chief of space policy for the Planetary Society…'It needlessly terminates functional, productive science missions and cancels new missions currently being built, wasting billions of taxpayer dollars in the process.'”

Update. "Trump seeks to end climate research at premier U.S. climate agency. White House aims to end NOAA’s research office; NASA also targeted."

"President Donald Trump’s administration is seeking to end nearly all of the #climate research conducted by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (#NOAA)…The administration is also preparing to ask for deep cuts to #NASA’s science programs."

"This initial version of the administration's budget request calls for an approximately 20 percent overall cut to the agency's budget across the board, effectively $5 billion from an overall topline of about $25 billion. However, the majority of the cuts are concentrated within the agency's Science Mission Directorate, which oversees all planetary science, Earth science, astrophysics research, and more.

According to the "passback" documents given to NASA officials on Thursday, the space agency's science programs would receive nearly a 50 percent cut in funding. After the agency received $7.5 billion for science in fiscal-year 2025, the Trump administration has proposed a science topline budget of just $3.9 billion for the coming fiscal year."

This is just horrible. I feel so awful for the people this involves. Potentially ten thousand civil servants and contractors from Goddard alone!

Then the missions that will be just halted, even though they've been fully assembled (Nancy Grace Roman telescope)!

I must've missed the talk about this yesterday.
