NASA leveled by Trump (www.nasa.gov)

Not only is Trump leveling science funding at NASA, like he did with the National Science Foundation, but look closely at the budget. Beginning next year at 800 million and by 2030, 3.5 billion (nearly 20% of its budget), NASA is required to work towards “Commercial Moon and Mars Infrastructure and Transportation”. The ultimate subsidy for the commercial space sector.

They also eliminated STEM engagement program, which provided funding for the next generation of scientists to participate in NASA opportunities. I can’t wait for all this greatness Trump has been preaching to arrive.

You're in for a bad surprise. Especially living in so called democracies, we are not asked an neither are the people who are killed by them. We're being silenced just as much.

I'm not defending anyones image. I just dont like blanket statements. I'm currently fighting fascists in the country i live in and people are being executed. Its not cool.
