FY 2026 Budget Request - NASA

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.

    Lol no a strawman is presenting a different argument than what’s being discussed. I said nothing of the sort and just called you out for your bullshit tankie thoughts. The USA isn’t some bastion of freedom, but to act like china or russia is better by ignoring the shit they’re currently doing is full on tankie ignorance.

      check out documentaties about china that dont start with genocide

      here is the argument

      you just willfully ignore the shit they do

      this is a strawman. I never said I’d want to ignore anything. You brought that up and tried to fight me for it. That is literally the meaning of a strawman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

      So no, you’re trying to push red scare and that is at best naive or at worst deliberate antisocialist propaganda.
