Given the existential threat a ~50% cut to #NASA means we need a public campaign to mobilize support while there is time. Maybe a #SaveNASAScience effort like we had for the #SaveHubble & the #SaveJWST efforts that were successful a decade+ ago? It was the public outcry, calls, & emails that worked.

From the edge of the atmosphere to distant stars, NASA helps us understand the universe—and our own planet. Trump’s budget would rip billions from that mission.
What future are we building if we kill the tools to explore it?

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.

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.

As of Jul/25 , ~500 Civil servants are retiring at #NASA 's Goddard Space Flight Center (out of a total ~3000) . The center has about ~10K (CS+contractors). The latter are leaving is unknown but certainly they are leaving in big numbers as I can tell from around me.

@planetarysociety.bsky.social had a #saveNASAscience thing at Congress. There's a FY 2027 budget hearing with NASA's Admin where NASA Science is discussed. No mention/coverage by Planetary Society. One day sugar-high events fade fast. Day-to-day efforts where rubber hits the road aren't of interest.
