Bill Nye Brands Trump’s NASA Budget a Lazy, Typo-Riddled Plan
TL;DR
Bill Nye criticized Trump’s proposed FY2027 NASA budget as lazy and riddled with typos, noting that while Artemis funding rises, the overall NASA budget would drop about 23% and science funding by 47% (to around $3.9B). Nye warned such cuts would undermine U.S. leadership in space and science, pointing to plans to terminate roughly 40 NASA missions, and citing support from The Planetary Society as he helped mobilize a Day of Action on Capitol Hill; NASA administrator Jared Isaacman defended the request as adequate to meet core priorities.
