From Mark Sykes: "On the basis of documents received on September 23, 2026, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, it is now clear that the costs incurred against those budgets in FY2025, as of June 30, 2026, were more than 50% lower than the amounts budgeted in the aggregate."

ALERT: FY2025 NASA Planetary Research and Analysis Funding Cut by More than 50%
A recent investigative report on 15 years of NASA Planetary Research and Analysis (R&A) program funding showed relatively flat funding profile that conflicted with recommendations by NRC Planetary Decadal Surveys an by Congress. On the basis of documents received on September 23, 2026, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, it is now...

In high school I'd do this with my friends but in reverse. We'd order pizza for delivery and brainstorm silly characters we could play. My favorite was "posh rich person" because all I did to sell it was wear a blazer over my regular outfit and talk like Mrs. Doubtfire

The only reason any NASA administrator would waste their time with this is because it gives the less science savvy a headline that distracts from his complicity in the destruction of NASA. Like, I don't even have the words to explain how little sense this makes and how much it isn't his job.

I ended up missing this over the holidays but that stupid "American Superiority in Space" executive order that got made on December 18th, just like their attempt to kill TraCCS a few months ago, is going to throw the space sector into chaos.

ICE agents are, simply put, fucking clowns. Some observations from four days on the ground in Minneapolis. www.garbageday.email/p/we-re-all-...
ICE agents are, simply put, fucking clowns. According to The Atlantic, they receive 47 days of training — in honor of Trump, the 47th president, naturally. Many of them, also, can barely read or write, apparently. The ones I spent the weekend following around didn’t even have proper uniforms, with some wearing sneakers. In Minnesota. In January. These dipshits are also wearing camo in the snow. They clearly do not have any training when it comes to their own weapons either. Multiple times over the last few days, I watched officers fire pepper spray balls at the feet of protestors barely a few inches away from them. These weapons are basically paintball guns full of concentrated pepper spray. So when they hit a target, they explode into the air. Which meant ICE agents regularly ended up poisoning themselves with their own weapons. I also watched two agents ask each other if a canister they were about to fire at the crowd was tear gas or a stun grenade. (It ended up being a stun grenade that then ignited the tear gas they had already shot at us, which started a fire in the street that a protestor had to help them put out.)

Disappointed but unfortunately not surprised that this big eared bastard is doing what bastards tend to do. Isaacman is unfit to lead NASA

The part that makes me most angry is how powerless I feel. Short of doing a little unmentionable thing what can a regular citizen even do to meaningfully stop this. Our elected officials clearly won't.

Kessler syndrome is a very real danger for us and I don't think it's a stretch to believe that our entire society would need to be restructured if, say, we could no longer replenish our telecom, weather, or GPS satellites.

I'll admit it's a bit embarrassing to only just be finding this out, but we can identify an asteroid binary based on the wobble from its ASTROMETRY!? That's insane! If my back of the envelope math is right that's like spotting the head of a pin needle from 150 km away. GAIA is amazing

I have a sneaking suspicion that no matter what field of science you go into, at some point, you will hit a scenario that could end the world and it's being monitored by one guy named Greg off a grant worth like $50k

Netanyahu has not allowed any aid into Gaza in 22 days. He broke the ceasefire, resuming a bombing campaign that has killed more than 50,000 people. Now he is threatening a long-term occupation of Gaza. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO NETANYAHU’S WAR MACHINE.
