NASA’s Ride-Along Science Strategy Is a Structural Retreat, Not a Pivot
NASA’s science program is being hollowed out, and the agency’s leadership appears content to let it happen. What is underway is not a budget dispute or a temporary pivot toward fiscal restraint. It is a structural abandonment of the approach that produced NASA’s most significant discoveries over six decades — the dedicated science mission, designed […]

This is the second consecutive year the administration has submitted essentially the same devastating science cuts, and the […]
