The NASA budget req reorganizes the Space Technology Mission Directorate so it's tough to follow the money, but basically it's cut 50%, and remember a chunk of that pays for NASA's contribution to the SBIR program.

The NASA FY26 budget also projects cutting its civil service workforce by a third.

Hey everyone! Good news. We are still sending four astronauts to the Moon in less than a year. Not fuzzy time, not an absurd forecast date, really truly very soon. Thought everyone needed to see something positive on their timelines.

Yes true! Artemis III hasn't been cut from the budget request, and AR3 flight hardware has made strong progress. SLS - Core Stage in Final Assembly Upper stage ICPS - At KSC Orion - Recently Powered up for the first time. We are going to the Moon. Don't stop me now!

Janet Petro as interim NASA administrator is doing a great job during these uncertain times, and deserves to be recognized for it!

I am glad JD Vance acknowledged how critical it was for America to enable Americans in the 1960s to do amazing things, like the Apollo program. So, we want to increase NASA's budget so Americans can do that again, right? Like how America did in the 60's?

🌕 When to watch the landing The countdown is nearly complete. After months in deep space, our RESILIENCE lander is preparing for descent to the lunar surface. Here’s when to watch the landing live from wherever you are in the world. A live stream of the event will begin

The voice of the people has also been powerful. People like Barry Bonzack have been taking their time to have meetings with these people to support a funded NASA. NASA isn’t dead, not now, and if I’m honest I don’t think will be any time soon.

Help me understand the logic here. What vehicle would Jared Isaacman take to the moon to walk on it? If the answer is "Starship", then why would SpaceX build Isaacman's lunar starship prior to building the one they are already on contract for with NASA for Artemis III HLS?

What I learned today: Even educated space fans are unaware of how much progress AR3 flight hardware currently is. Help spread this to the public: AR3 flight hardware SLS - final Assembly Upper stage - at KSC Orion - Powered up for first time.

Big win for America’s Space Force. Guardians put a new GPS III satellite on orbit on a timeline 40% faster than the last. It’s 3x more accurate. 8x tougher to jam. That’s how our warfighters deter threats and deliver peace through strength.

Seeing a lot of tweets today makes me believe people are unaware that Orion is reusable. The Orion spacecrafts used on Artemis 3, 4, and 5, will be reused on Artemis 6, 7, and 8. news.lockheedmartin.com/2022-10-20-NAS…

NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office is charged with finding, tracking & characterizing near-Earth objects. Here's what we've found thus far: go.nasa.gov/414oCMc

This is not Apple, Tesla or even Nvidia. It’s the US National Debt.

The Planetary Society explains how NASA' s budget is made here youtu.be/bK8HXTZSkAI?si… And more details here planetary.org/space-policy/n…. Budget process has a long way to go before question like this one can be answered. At the moment SLS is not canceled.

The space community’s reaction to NASA’s budget cuts…

Barry Bonzack And we’re already reusing components from the AR1 Orion on the AR2 vehicle!

And here's Orion Spacecraft mockup, floating in NASA's Spacewalk training pool!
