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.

we’ll all be better off if the Great Satan isn’t the center of scientific progress.

No, I wouldn't be better off living in a country where women are arrested and killed for appearing in public without a silly garment covering their head.

The women in that country would be better off without the US constantly attacking them.
