What would you rather they cut? If I’m remembering correctly I think their budget shrunk in real terms this year due to inflation while they’re being asked to do more.
I wish the space nerds around the country were more politically active. Nonviolent pro-NASA protests in front of the Capitol when they’re deciding on the budget every year would accomplish a lot more for space than just bitching on the internet.
Doubtful. NASA’s yearly budget is like $20-30 billion on average and mothballing New Horizons will only save them a pithy few million.
Which makes me think the money explanation is bogus. I wonder if something else is going on.

I’d rather Congress just give them more.
