The intellectual #exodus continues as #trump slashes #science funding for #nasa. Science = progress & a strong #economy. Trump & #project2025 are creating the next dark age. Will #musk get that $ for #spacex?

@g7izu Let me guess. A BIG contract is going out to #SpaceX.

Concerning for space traffic management and the potential for space debris generation: the U.S. federal 'budget blueprint' would also end #TraCSS (Traffic Coordination System for Space) as we know it: “The #OMB document … proposes a transfer of the Traffic Coordination System for Space to a nonprofit or a private sector partner, which could be a boon for Elon Musk’s #SpaceX.”

@Nonilex

No doubt #spacex will get contracts to do what NASA was doing.

"Massive cuts to #NASA #science proposed in early #WhiteHouse #budget plan"

"#Musk's timeline will prove a bit optimistic, but even accounting for that, we are on the threshold of a new era.” Despite setbacks, #SpaceX continues pushing boundaries with its rapid iteration approach. The question remains not whether humans will reach #Mars, but when. https://www.forbes.com/sites/luisromero/2025/03/07/spacex-explosion-blasts-mars-timeline-2026-goal-likely-delayed

"Starlink’s numbers could bring SpaceX’s valuation crashing down

While DOGE dismay has hammered Tesla stock, SpaceX is still flying high with investors as the world’s most valuable private company. But economic realities and the physical limits of beaming internet connectivity from space could puncture the good vibes."
