Keith\u2019s note:<\/strong> There will be another \u201cSave NASA\u201d protest at NASA Headquarters on Monday Sept. 15th. This is the third \u201cSave NASA\u201d protest in Washington, DC. More below<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The organizers say: \u201cwe are a peaceful protest group, and we stand in solidarity with other scientific advocacy groups. This protest intends to raise public awareness and provide information about present and near-future cuts at NASA, and to urge Congress to pass a budget that funds our science and exploration programs before the fiscal year boundary. We also want NASA leadership to stop undermining NASA\u2019s fundamental principles of science and exploration for the sake of human kind, to stop illegal terminations, and to fulfill their oath to support the Constitution and be faithful to the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n Current NASA leadership, acting on the President\u2019s and OMB\u2019s proposed budget, has already greatly reduced the Agency\u2019s capabilities, by removing thousands of civil servants and contractors with invaluable knowledge and expertise that would otherwise enable them to continue to serve the US. Simultaneously they are declaring the Agency will win the current Space Race. To win the first Space Race to the Moon, NASA was prioritized and appropriated $68 billion in 1965 alone (adjusted for inflation). In 2026, with goals to reach Mars, NASA\u2019s proposed budget is only $18.8 billion.<\/p>\n Some of the cuts to NASA science involve turning off spacecraft that are already in space and actively sending back data. NASA contributes to agriculture, weather predictions, and safety. Without NASA Earth science, early detection for natural disasters and forecasting would be imprecise and difficult and could cost human lives.<\/p>\n Current protest details are listed below, and we have secured a protest permit.<\/p>\n
