Trump’s budget proposal attacks NASA

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…
