Trump Administration Proposes Cutting $6 Billion From NASA’s Budget

President Donald Trump’s proposed budget for next year calls for sweeping cuts to many of NASA’s programs, including a plan to phase out the agency’s Boeing Co.-made moon rocket, reduce crews and operations on the International Space Station and gut science initiatives.

Trump’s funding request would decrease NASA’s budget by more than $6 billion from what the agency received for 2025. The proposed $18.8 billion budget includes cuts across NASA’s entire portfolio, but the biggest changes would fall on the agency’s science programs, with a nearly $2.3 billion reduction in funding.
