Just an FYI, it's not the whole NASA budget being cut in about half, I keep seeing people say this. I think it was something more like 25% overall budget cut. The science missions got hit the heaviest and got a roughly 50% cut.
Thanks for the clarification!
Maybe one day we'll actually be able to celebrate a 25% increase! although naturally that day will probably only come in the form of subsidizing corporate space ventures. :/
For that, you will have to learn Mandarin.
Ah i see, rebuplicans not a huge fan of science, but still like rocket go whooooosssh
