Reject Proposed Devastating NASA Science Budget Cuts

The administration's proposed cuts to NASA's science budget are deeply concerning and will significantly undermine the United States' leadership in space exploration and scientific discovery. Slashing funding by nearly 50% for NASA's Science Mission Directorate will force the cancellation of critical missions like the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, Mars Sample Return, and DAVINCI. These cuts jeopardize years of work and investment in pursuing groundbreaking research to advance our understanding of the cosmos and our own planet. NASA's science programs drive innovation, inspire future generations, and produce invaluable data benefiting various sectors. Cutting funding so drastically will have severe impacts, from loss of highly skilled personnel to diminished global technological competitiveness. It is short-sighted and will tarnish America's reputation as a leader in space science. The proposed reductions contradict the administration's own nominee for NASA Administrator, who voiced strong support for bolstering the agency's science capabilities during his confirmation hearing. Maintaining robust funding for NASA's science portfolio is vital to ensuring continued exploration, research breakthroughs, and developing the technologies of tomorrow. I urge you to reject these draconian cuts and instead provide full funding to preserve America's preeminence in space science and exploration.
