If the experts who process climate data, innovate in satellite technology and monitor our Earth are treated as disposable, is "Saving NASA" just a political talking point?
How can we claim to value the science while abandoning the very people who make it possible?

Despite the talk, "Reductions in Force" (RIFs) haven't officially hit #NASA.
Instead, the agency relied on voluntary retirements with severance for civil servants. Official RIFs have strict rules and bring the kind of bad publicity leadership wants to avoid.

We are mere hours away from the House of Representatives voting to advance a bipartisan funding deal that funds NASA and NSF. The bill protects just about everything #SaveNASAScience has been fighting for.
Encourage your representative to vote YES ➡️ planetary.org/voteyes
Watch Bill Nye and me "take over" the latest episode of StarTalk Radio, now on YouTube. We're talking, of course, about the need to #SaveNASAScience from the extreme budget cuts in FY 2026:

The Planetary Society (originally founded by Carl Sagan, Bruce Murray, and Louis Friedman) met with Congress to defend funding for NASA science projects and missions.
This should be seen and appreciated.

Krista Lynne Smith is a member of the AAS High Energy Astrophysics Division, and she is spending the day advocating for science funding. Amplify our #SaveNASAScience voices by sending a message to your congressional office today: aas.org/action-alert...
At Capitol Hill with Bill Nye and Congressman Glenn Ivy, fighting for NASA science funding!
#savenasascience
I’m in D.C. with @planetarysociety.bsky.social to #SaveNASAScience
The proposed 2026 budget cuts 47% of NASA science, 100% of STEM ed, & 56% of NSF. These cuts would gut U.S. space leadership. NASA science drives innovation, inspires generations, and reminds us what’s possible when we look up.
As scientists meet with lawmakers for #CVD2025, AGU stands united to #SaveNASAScience and defend the federal science workforce.
