The White House announced a plan to cancel over 50 #space missions as part of a devastating 46% cut to #NASA #science.
The proposal would likely eliminate thousands of jobs at an agency that has just launched astronauts to the #Moon for the first time in decades, and dozens of other space missions would see their operations reduced or slowly wound down to a halt.
The following missions are to be cancelled:
1. The Habitable Worlds Observatory being built to search for #life on dozens of Earth-like planets beyond our Solar System while addressing fundamental questions about our #Universe.
2. OSIRIS-APEX capitalizes on the exceptionally rare 2029 Earth flyby of the potentially hazardous #asteroid #Apophis to advance planetary defense strategies and reveal how Earth’s #gravity alters an asteroid’s surface and interior.
3. The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will deliberately search for signs of life on #Mars by analyzing the composition of samples collected from as deep as 2 meters below the surface.
4. The DAVINCI mission is an atmospheric probe that will be deployed to our sister planet, #Venus, and provide the first detailed measurements of the composition and chemistry of its #atmosphere.
5. Initially focusing on #Jupiter’s interior, atmosphere, and aurora, #Juno is already orbiting Jupiter and has expanded during its extended mission to be a full system explorer capable of investigating the Galilean satellites, rings, inner moons, radiation belts, and boundaries of Jupiter’s magnetosphere.
6. VERITAS will create unprecedented, global, high-resolution datasets of Venus designed to answer a fundamental question for rocky #planets: how did Earth and her twin Venus evolve into two entirely different examples of planetary #habitability?
Days after Artemis II, scientists warn of deep cuts to NASA missions
The scientists behind threatened missions speak out.

they'll go work in SpaceX like in the past, so that Musk could sell back space services to the US government and people. -

This is their revenge for NASA daring to make a woman and a Black man famous and beloved. And yet another step in neutering and hobbling the American Scientific community. Which will, in turn, hamper international efforts. I was expecting some sort of backlash like this.

The Trump administration acts like a drunk teenager, joyriding around a city center in a souped up dump truck, oblivious to who and what they hit.
The problem is its massive cutbacks in projects and regulations all have a sponsor or two for whom they are performing the destruction.

I'm quite sure that a number of NASA staff hold more than one nationality, and would be able to get work pretty much anywhere in the world in any case

@mustapipa I guess it’s a good day to be Chinese…
