Trump proposed cutting the agency's overall funding by 24% and slashing the agency's #science budget by nearly half.

Such moves have sparked protests by #scientists, #engineers and regular folks who care about space science and #exploration. For example, nearly 300 #NASA scientists recently signed the #VoyagerDeclaration, warning that the budget cuts, if enacted, would have devastating effects on #AmericanScience and could impact #AstronautSafety.

Hundreds of #NASA Employees, Past and Present, Sign Letter of Formal Dissent
The signatories of the “#VoyagerDeclaration” warned the #space agency’s leadership about the consequences of major budget cuts that would halt many #science missions.
Cuts to NASA programs have been arbitrary and in defiance of priorities set by Congress, the NASA employees said. “The consequences for the agency and the country alike are dire,” they wrote.
