So, after the successful Artemis flight, Trump wants to cut NASA's budget.
And I can't decide if it's to improve his relationship with Elon Musk prior to the midterm elections, or if it's because the rocket flight this week took all the media oxygen out of the air and Trump did not like the competition.
White House again proposes steep NASA budget cuts
WASHINGTON — For the second consecutive year, the White House is proposing a major budget cut for NASA that would significantly reduce the agency’s science programs and International Space Station operations.
The White House Office of Management and Budget released April 3 a top-level budget proposal for fiscal year 2027. That proposal included $18.8 billion for NASA, a 23% reduction from what the agency received in a final fiscal year 2026 appropriations bill in January.
The proposal, at the top level, is similar to what OMB proposed last year in its fiscal year 2026 budget request. That also sought $18.8 billion, a cut of nearly 25% from what the agency received in a full-year continuing resolution for fiscal year 2025.
The brief summary released by OMB did not disclose many details about the NASA budget, but the 2027 proposal includes many of the same proposed cuts as in 2026. Science, for example, would be cut by $3.4 billion, or 47%.
