NASA science missions at risk amid Trump’s budget cuts and Musk fallout
The White House’s plan to repurpose NASA’s goals—focusing almost exclusively on landing Americans on the Moon and Mars—could gut much of the agency’s science programme.
The proposed budget would cut nearly a quarter of NASA’s total funding. Meanwhile, the row with Musk adds to uncertainty, as SpaceX rockets are critical to NASA missions.
Scientists warn that this could mean losing dozens of missions already operating in space and delaying international projects like Mars sample returns with the EU.
