At risk? Sorry America you’re way past the ‘at risk’ phase. Trump’s administration of malignant clowns has accelerated your path to decline. This will be China’s century.

OH FFS Bezos + Musk are right there orchestrating this + ready to pick up the pieces, so they can play "Lets put our wives/girlfriends" in space. It will get us laid!" Zuckerberg wants to play to but he was caught looking at Mrs bezo's boobies....

MAGA doesn’t care. They view scientists as elitist hucksters even as they use products that were a result of NASA innovation.

I’m pro-NASA, pro-science, but exploring Mars or more moon stuff feels like low priorities right now.

America is now becoming the biggest loser. TACO destroys everything he touches. We will be the country of white supremacists, radical Christians (Christian in name only wackos), home of super prisons housing resistors, bastion of criminal enterprises, capitol of human trafficking. Shall I go on?

Watching a demented excremental ghoul and his malignant death cult treat every part of this nation like Ned Beatty got treated in Deliverance isn't doing our so-called "collective imagination" much good, either. Hope some version of it survives the raging shitstorm we now find ourselves in.

The Trump proposal projects a frozen NASA budget until at least 2030 even as the administration touts a new “golden age of innovation and exploration.” To cap it off, NASA has been without a full-time administrator—the agency’s top official—since January.

Much has been written about what the proposed budget cuts and job losses will do to NASA. To begin with, they would mean the end of 41 planned or current missions, according to the Planetary Society.

Those include an audacious, and long-underway plan to gather pristine soil samples on Mars and return them to earth, a probe exploring the solar system beyond Pluto, and a lander set to catch and study a giant asteroid that will barely miss the earth in 2029.

In a statement to WIRED, Duffy said, in part, that NASA “remains committed to (its) mission” and that the agency “retains a strong bench of talent … capable of executing upon my directives safely and in a timely manner.”

Meanwhile, China has rolled out a chatbot on its Tiangong space station. Its mission: to improve safety, navigation, and coordination in orbit. China: 1, NASA: please hold.

'Capping' the NASA budget for the next 5 years while paying out ever-expanding grants to Musk and Space-X/Starlink is only one more example of the corruption of the administration and complete ignorance and incompetence of the Sec of Trans Duffy. The US did not win the race to the moon like this!

The destruction of NASA through de-funding and personnel loss would signal the complete incompetence of the current administration. That’s not to say that anyone in this administration has a clue as to what NASA ought to be doing, just that they aren’t smart enough to be making such decisions.

In the olden days US private sector could compete against any and all rivals. With China on the scene, we have for the first time in human history, a large government that collaborates with private companies. To hell with all the ideologies, we need a strong government sector and strong businesses

It's worrying to see NASA facing big budget cuts and losing top talent. This could mean America might step back from exploring space and looking beyond our world.
