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.

    I think we agree on this.

    Again, I’m not saying we should trust China, or that they are a positive force in the world, or even that we should indeed trade with them. We need to put our foot down about things like that.

    All I’m saying is that the US somehow got worse than them. And by “stable”, I don’t mean “trustworthy” or anything, it’s just that the US seems to be making a sport out of going back on deals, at least we can trust the CCP to look out for its own interests and not go back on the occasional win-win deal.

    Again, I’m not saying that we should make more deals with China, but that the US is no better at this point, and we should figure out how to oust both their influences.

      it’s not stable though I dunno how people can’t see this lol.

      The US and China are in the same balance beam and at times or through different perspectives it might look like one is rising above the other but you ever seen what happens when one partner on seesaw jumps off? the other guy doesn’t go up that’s for sure
