Keith’s note: there was a Review of the President’s Budget Request for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for Fiscal Year 2027 today. There was one witness: NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. I live tweeted the hearing at @NASAWatch. Hearing charter and video below. Opening statements:
According to the Hearing charter these were the ‘Overarching Questions’ this hearing will examine:
- What new initiatives and terminations are proposed in the FY27 budget request for NASA?
- How does the proposed budget allocate funding among NASA’s human exploration, science, space technology, and aeronautics objectives?
- Does the President’s Budget Request reflect and fund the initiatives that were announced during the NASA Ignition event?

“Make America Nuanced Again.”
Very nice.
