Trump-Musk row fuels 'biggest crisis ever' at Nasa

The ongoing dispute between President Trump and Elon Musk over NASA's budget is worsening uncertainty for the agency, facing significant funding cuts. These proposed cutbacks could lead to the termination of forty science projects, including vital planetary missions and Earth observation missions integral to climate change research. The future of NASA's budget hangs in the balance, as the White House aims to repurpose the agency for Moon and Mars exploration, potentially altering its focus significantly. NASA's initiatives, collaborations with international partners, and projects like the Space Launch System face the risk of being phased out under these proposals, which could have far-reaching consequences for space exploration and scientific research.
