TWiS 207: What, This Again? - Attempted Cuts to the NASA Budget
As you have doubtless heard, the White House has once again proposed drastic budget cuts of about 24% for NASA's 2027 budget. It's deja vu all over again for us, as we followed an almost identical story last year. And as with last year, Congress has signaled the new budget to be DOA. This time, however, we had a NASA administrator in the seat when this budget arrived and he said he could work with it—despite a near halving of the NASA science budget and proposed cancellation of well over 50 science missions, many already successful and returning great science after the bulk of the program has been paid for. We invited Jenniter Vaughn, the CEO of The Planetary Society, onto the show to discuss.
Headlines:
Main Topic: NASA Science Budget Crisis and Advocacy with Planetary Society CEO Jennifer Vaughn
Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik
