First the rumour was a 20% budget cut. Then, 50%. Now the president's NASA budget is out and it's a 68% cut to astrophysics ($1.5B to $487M). Even if this gets reversed in four years, we will never recover the missions, partners, people who will be gone. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

The same administration that was fine with undoing the largest law enforcement effort in American history—tracking down and prosecuting J6 insurrectionists—now has multiple federal agencies, and the White House, expending taxpayer resources to vigorously and enthusiastically benefit Tesla
