Do you know of an undergrad who would be a good fit for icy moons or geophysics research? If so, encourage them to apply here: stemgateway.nasa.gov/s/course-off...

This Budget Plan Would Devastate U.S. Space Science Scientists are rallying to reverse ruinous proposed cuts to both NASA and the National Science Foundation

"Youโ€™re punching a generation-size hole, maybe a multigenerational hole, in the scientific and technical workforce. You donโ€™t just Cryovac these people and pull them out when the money comes back. People are going to move on.โ€

A screenshot of p.43 of https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Fiscal-Year-2026-Discretionary-Budget-Request.pdf showing $119.3B moved from Defense to Non-Defense.

Briefly wandered over to The Other Place to gauge the response to the NASA budget devastation to encounter a bunch of gleeful 'we spend too much money, so this is great.'

TO BE, ONCE AGAIN, PERFECTLY CLEAR, THE BUDGET REQUEST MOVES ALL THIS MONEY TO DEFENSE. IT SPENDS IT. NO MONEY IS SAVED.

The NASA planetary science fleet chart. It shows two spirals with missions to Moon/Mars and the Solar System. Iโ€™ve crossed off all of the missions that will be cancelled in the presidentโ€™s budgetโ€ฆ and there are a lot of them.

The NASA planetary science fleet chart if the presidentโ€™s budget is enacted.
