Zero is the only acceptable number.. How about getting rid of NOAAs fully automatic weapons along with the IRS.. unless of course these weapons arm pointed at Russian bases in Syria.

NASA is supposed to build rockets and explore space, not pander to Muslims and create bogus globull warming narratives.

Does this mean that NASA won’t be helping to establish an interstellar caliphate?

I recommend this youtube on Mars Direct and its mission to put some sense into the NASA budget. Very well done, with the history of the Mars Society, and the nuts and bolts of getting there inexpensively, efficiently and quickly:

It should be $1 so Trump can say he continued funding GW research. Let the scienstitutes at NASA fight over who gets the buck.

Slashing is good. Eliminating is better.

” we’re not going to zero out earth sciences,”

No, of course not- got to keep the lie alive-

How about we pour money into science that PROVES that there is no way man could possibly be responsible for climate change since the amount of CO2 produced by man only takes up 0.00136% of our atmosphere?
