A 47% cut to NASA science isn't just a number. It could be decades of discovery erased.

This week on Planetary Radio.

I'm Sarah Al-Ahmed of the Planetary Society, with more of the human adventure across our solar system and beyond. This week, we had planned to share some of the Planetary Society, with more of the human adventure across our solar system and beyond.

This week, we had planned to share some of the inspiring moments from our 45th anniversary gala,

but in light of recent news, we're shifting focus.

We'll bring you those voices of hope and celebration next week.

In the United States, the Trump administration's proposed budget for fiscal year

26 delivers the biggest blow to NASA science in 40 years.

If enacted, it would cancel missions, waste billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars, undermine

multiple international collaborations, and silence some of our most powerful tools for understanding the cosmos.

Today I'm joined by Casey Dreyer and Jack Corelli from our space policy and advocacy team to

break down what's at stake and how you can help. This isn't just a crisis for NASA. It's a

defining moment for the future of space science and a test of what we are willing to stand up for.

Later in the show, we'll reflect on what's at stake with our chief scientist, Bruce Betts,

as we talk about some of the missions that may be affected by these proposed cuts and why the

science behind them is worth protecting. And I want to give a special shout out this week to

the North Fort Myers Public Library in Florida.

That's where our audio editor, Andy, took refuge to finish last week's episode during a prolonged

internet outage.

Support your public libraries, folks.

They're vital, and they're under threat too.
