#save nasa

Please consider signing the petition for the Planetary Society.

"The current administration's 2026 budget request includes a staggering 47% cut to NASA's science programs as part of a 25% cut to NASA overall. This is an extinction-level event for the Earth and space science communities, upending decades of work and tens of billions in taxpayers' investment. But there is still time to stop these cuts from taking effect.

The public has an important opportunity to tell Congress to reject these cuts and restore proper funding to NASA science before the budget for 2026 is written. Add your name now to tell Congress: Save NASA Science."

Stand Up For Science

Edit: I just want to say to those of us who think NASA is unnecessary, NASA does more than fly people to the moon.

It develops new technologies (satellite communication, cochlear implants, enriched baby formula, insulin pumps, firefighting equipment, water filters, and other medical equipment, to name a few); it protects the planet against potentially dangerous celestial events; it conducts critically important climate science research. Defunding NASA is bad for everyone, not just rich nerds that want to colonize mars

The answer is yes. But more than that,NASA spending is not why we have poverty. We're spending more money on things like ICE and military, (including military aid to OTHER countries i.e. Israel.) meanwhile cutting things like NASA, so Trump can give tax cuts to billonaires. Like yes, that $25 billion is money we could be using to feed thehomeless, but so is the billions of dollars we send every year of foreign military aid for them to go and kll people. NASA is not the problem yall. Far from it.

If you're reading this, it means that this man has completely taken over my mind. A while ago I posted about an email he sent about a petition he made to oppose budget cuts to NASA astrophysics, I didn't think then that he would be the only thing I'm thinking about for weeks after. (Also I'm supposed to be studying for finals, but instead I'm thinking about this, so thanks for that) and here I am now, falling in love all over again, with this adorable scattered-brained but brilliant, too emotional for his own good, eyes light up like a child while talking about space, man. From when I first read his email, and said "I wish I could give him a hug" I've been up at night, thinking about him, organizing the table, crying when it didn't work, and poured my entire heart into this project. I wrote him a letter that I poured my heart into, which he has STILL yet to respond to. So here's a playful little "fuck you" for putting me through this and for symbolically leaving me on read. But also I can't be mad at you, because the thing is, I wouldn't change a single thing. How can I be mad at someone who has inspired and influenced me more than he will ever understand, who reminds me of why I study astronomy, why I keep going even through the tears, bad test scores and banging my head against the wall, a kindred spirit who also has the energy of "can't remember something to save their life because they have a million different things on their mind all the time. The way he talks about HIS heroes, the way I look up to mine. When I say I stand on the shoulders of giants I mean it. I love you.

Michael, if you see this, no you didn't.

Just think about how Pluto is now a black hole and appreciate space.
