I’m seeing a lot of “NASA will be cancelled with a democrat in office” talk. Let’s look at the numbers... As a % of the federal budget, the Obama admin funded NASA more than the Trump admin & started the Commercial Crew Program, let’s not spread misinformation please.
That said. I’m not worried about commercial partners and general NASA funding, in fact I hope to see the educational outreach for NASA return and more planetary science funding. The thing most likely on the chopping block would likely be Artemis / SLS...
But Artemis / SLS has had some decent checks written and hardware built, so it might survive, at least for a little bit. But perhaps the shift to commercial providers will be accelerated. I’ll likely be talking about this a lot on @LudicrousFuture Podcast this week
