This is seismic. Isaacman had clearly articulated a strong support for science, and the withdrawal of his nomination yet further imperils NASA's Science Mission Directorate. www.semafor.com/article/05/3...

I never looked at Gateway as a "kluge." Gateway is a "foothold" in lunar orbit. It that could augment lunar operations where you could be operating robots on the lunar surface in one area while a crew explores another. We you could analyze samples or perform other mission support activities. 1/

Hello everyone, I know the Trump admin is doing lots of horrible things but, please use The Planetary Societies action center to make your voice heard about Trump's planned 47% cut to NASA's budget. It will set back their scientific projects back decades. #NASA www.planetary.org/advocacy-act...

I hope NASA continues to produce SLS and Orion they are amazingly safe in ways other systems cannot be. The answer is to work harder to control the costs of SLS via Boeing and Northrop Grumman not cancel it. www.cnn.com/2025/02/10/s...
