Bloomberg: Trump May Consider Reduction in NASA's Budget

On Friday, Bloomberg revealed that the Trump administration may consider a reduction in NASA's budget.

Bloomberg explained that Trump's proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year displays cuts across many of NASA's programs, including a plan to phase out the Moon rocket by Boeing. 

It also includes reductions in crew numbers and operations at the International Space Station, as well as cuts to scientific initiatives.

The report noted that the funding request submitted by Trump would reduce NASA's budget by more than $6 billion compared to last year.

Later, NASA posted that the Trump-Vance Administration showed toplines of the President’s budget for Fiscal Year 2026. 

The budget will be mainly dedicated to human space exploration of the Moon and Mars.

“This proposal includes investments to simultaneously pursue exploration of the Moon and Mars while still prioritizing critical science and technology research,” said acting NASA Administrator Janet Petro. 

“I appreciate the President’s continued support for NASA’s mission and look forward to working closely with the administration and Congress to ensure we continue making progress toward achieving the impossible," she added.
