Republican’s Cuts to NASA/JSC. Houston we have a problem. Again.

Every elected official in the NASA/JSC area including Senator Cornyn and Cruz, Congressman Babin and Weber, State Senator Mayes Middleton and Representative Dennis Paul, are supporting these massive cuts to NASA/JSC.

The Hill has a great article titled “Trump’s NASA Cuts: The Good. The Bad. The Ugly.” If you are supporting NASA in any way, shape or form, you might want to take time to see how your particular project is going to be affected. The major cuts will devastate the JSC community. Here is a quick list of cuts affecting the area:

  • Gateway Program. CANCELLED. Gateway is a space station around the Moon. Components have already been delivered.
  • Orion. CANCELLED. Orion is the capsule that will take astronauts to the Moon and Mars. It has been completed with the 3rd flight scheduled this year.
  • Space Launch System. CANCELLED. SLS is the heavy lift vehicle that will take Orion to the Moon and Mars. It has been completed and has flown.

The Republican budget will cut 24% of NASA’s budget but claims to be adding $7 Billion for Moon and Mars exploration which doesn’t make sense since they are cutting the very vehicles designed and built to travel to the Moon and Mars. As some wise ass said to the Houston Chronicle “They are feeding us goat turds and telling us they are tater tots.”

According to the article the $7 Billion will go to the NAZI Sympathizer and SpaceX, and Blue Origin. SpaceX has had multiple failures, or “Rapid Unscheduled Fuck Ups” (RUFUS) and Blue Origin’s claim to fame is sending Katy Perry into space. NASA and their contractors have been working on Orion and SLS since George W Bush was in office, almost 20 years ago and they are now flying.

There are many more cuts that will affect all NASA centers identified in the article, including cuts to the STEM program which is considered “woke”. Take a moment to read it. With Musk’s recent criticizing of the bill his share of the $7 Billion is probably in jeopardy.

    First Artemis 1 has flown once, Nov 16 2022, no ECLSS and no crew. Artemis II is at KSC suppose to launch 2026. Artemis III launch date no earlier than mid 2027 since they have issues to be resolved, the heat shield and valves for ECLSS. The Nazi salute comment you made is false and plenty of info out there on it. Shows how idiotic and worthless your so called journalism is. Not facts just hyperbole.

    Next SpaceX saved NASA’s posterior by flying cargo mission to ISS and as part of the Commercial Crew contract with NASA, has since 2020 flown 45 crew to ISS on their Dragon crew vehicle. Boeing was awarded the same contract at the same time and to date has flown 2 crew to ISS, 2023, but not returned on their Starliner crewed vehicle. SpaceX was awarded $2.6 billion. Boeing for same was awarded $4.2 billion. You need to make corrections to your story since it is completely false.

    oh, for Artemis, $8 billion to build 1 SLS, $4.2 billion to launch.

    Oh since I doubt you will make corrections, posted it all on FB. Your stupidity is on display.
