Editorial: Who Is Minding Planetary Research?, Planetary Exploration Newsletter
“The Administration and both houses of Congress openly support the planetary research programs, as demonstrated by proposed and appropriated budgets. It is PSD management that undermines their intent. Stop treating planetary research as a slush fund.”
Tell Congress To Support Planetary Exploration at NASA, Planetary Society
“The White House has doubled down on its efforts to cut Planetary Science at NASA. It’s proposing a cut of over $200 million, despite the fact that Congress rejected a similar cut for last year. This will prevent any mission to Europa. It delays for years efforts to send small spacecraft throughout the solar system, and will have long-lasting repercussions on the scientific and engineering community. We know Congress supports planetary exploration, but they need to hear from you.”

    The Planetary Society has been effective at lobbying in the past, we’ll have to see if they still have the energy.. The current situation pits people who’s goal is planetary science against those who feel human spaceflight BEO is more important.
