Bill Nye warns 24% NASA budget cuts could end key space missions and U.S. leadership.
On October 6, 2025, Bill Nye, CEO of the Planetary Society, urged Congress to block proposed 24% cuts to NASA’s 2026 budget, warning a $6 billion reduction—especially a 47% cut to science funding—could end critical space exploration.
He called the cuts an "extinction-level event," stressing they would jeopardize missions like the James Webb Space Telescope, Perseverance rover, and Mars Sample Return, while undermining U.S. leadership as global competitors advance.
Over 300 advocates joined lawmakers in opposing the White House’s proposal, which cites fiscal responsibility and mission affordability, arguing the cuts would terminate already-funded, high-value programs.
The agency remains non-operational due to a government shutdown, delaying official responses.
