The administration of Donald Trump has proposed nearly halving NASA’s science funding for 2026 — a move that has raised alarm within the scientific community, according to Bloomberg. The annual budget proposed by Donald Trump for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 2026 includes an almost twofold cut to the agency’s science

Elon Musk said reports that President Donald Trump’s budget proposal would drastically cut NASA’s science funding were “troubling,” the latest public break between the president and his close adviser.

The lack of funding will significantly impact the Space Agency, and the decisions of the US president will threaten future space missions.
