Key Points:
- The Planetary Society expresses strong disappointment with the White House's budget proposal, which includes NASA and NASA Science cuts previously rejected by bipartisan majorities in Congress.
- The proposal threatens U.S. leadership in space science and exploration during a crucial period with key missions like Artemis II, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, Dragonfly, and NEO Surveyor underway or imminent.
- There is significant public and congressional opposition to the budget cuts, highlighted by a bipartisan letter from over 100 House members advocating a $1.75 billion increase to NASA Science.
- The Planetary Society pledges to mobilize public support again to ensure Congress rejects these budget cuts and urges the Appropriations Committees to adopt a balanced, ambitious space exploration agenda.
