The NASA budget proposal released last Thurs seemingly spared some missions, while canceling many others. However, that isn't the full story. When you understand how missions are staffed you will understand that NONE of the missions are safe. A 🧵nasa.gov/wp-content/upl…

@USWeatherExpert @NbergWX If you eviscerate OAR, you ground NOAA hurricane hunters. No TDR, no AXBTs, no sUAS. Critical input to forecasts. You sideline all hurricane models, including HAFS. Forecasters will be flying blind in critical situations. It would *absolutely* undo decades of progress.

Feeling just kinda shellshocked at the proposal to close GSFC. It's the center most near and dear to my heart, it's where I became an engineer and spent most of my adult life working. It's a gem of a scientific research powerhouse, there's literally nothing quite like it.

“They’re going to run NASA into a very deep ditch if they proceed with this kind of savagery,” Bill Nelson, the NASA administrator under President Joe Biden, said in an interview.” NASA science budget faces massive cuts in Trump proposal. washingtonpost.com/science/2025/0…

TRaCSS is the latest evolution of the USG sharing notification of potential close approaches - we've been doing it not out of the goodness of our hearts but because spaceflight safety serves our interest. This is so short-sighted politico.com/news/2025/04/1…

There have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents of both parties to 11 different district courts in 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?
