There's Something Extremely Shady About Trump's Disastrous New NASA Budget
Months after Congress voted against the Trump administration’s brutal NASA budget proposal for fiscal year 2026, the White House has renewed its efforts to deal the space agency’s science directorate a devastating blow.
Earlier this month, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released its proposed 2027 top-line request, which would eviscerate NASA’s science budget by a whopping 47 percent and slash the agency’s overall funding by 23 percent. The move highlighted the Trump administration’s persistent and staunchly anti-science agenda, once again drawing outraged reactions from space advocacy groups.
Worse yet, as The Planetary Society chief of space policy Casey Dreier told Space.com, the latest document is incredibly vague, failing to identify which space science missions would land on the chopping block. It even refuses to list prior-year funding levels, a baffling departure from 60 years of institutional history.
“There are two things: the astonishing lack of transparency and the abject refusal to acknowledge political reality,” Dreier said. “This is the least transparent NASA budget request I’ve ever seen — and I’ve literally looked through every single one since 1960.”
