Trump Threatens to Eviscerate NASA

And in doing so he will hand the future of space exploration over to other countries. As planetary scientist and former NASA Mars science operations team member Tanya Harrison put it, “The fact that the U.S. is turning inward and potentially set to decimate the science from its own space program while China is offering up its recently returned lunar samples for researchers around the world to analyze speaks volumes as to how the tides of science are going to shift.”

Trump is handing over America’s scientific preeminence to other countries, including our enemies.

And it’s all for a lie: this saves money in the sense that starving to death saves on your food bill. Study after study has shown that for every dollar we put into NASA, we get more than a dollar back out, sometimes much more than a dollar.

Yet another disaster from the Trump administration putting us behind the rest of the world
