Cutting of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope [1] seems incredibly shortsighted and wasteful. It is set to launch in 2027, and is designed to answer basic questions about dark energy
Following the announcement of Trumps plan for the biggest military budget EVER [trump voice] of $1T (previously in the $800B range)[1]… good thing DOGE has cut all the other waste. I am personally thankful that we’ll get to experience the age of maximum government efficiency and spending constraint
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.
