The White House proposed a nearly 24% cut to NASA’s 2026 budget, targeting fundamental science research. If enacted, these would be the largest cuts in NASA's history, potentially halting partially funded projects including the Mars sample return and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Experts warn that such reductions could diminish the United States’ status as a leader in scientific discovery. Recently, Congress has considered appropriations that may prevent severe budget cuts, prompting questions about the future of affected programs and the timing of potential changes.
If the proposed budget cuts to NASA are approved, they would constitute the largest cuts in the agency's history, impacting fundamental science research.
Reduced funding to NASA could jeopardize critical projects, such as the Mars sample return and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
