Graphic of budget cuts for NASA's various mission and management directorates. Only Exploration (which manages human spaceflight to the Moon and, maybe, Mars) would grow in the President's FY 2026 proposal. Every other activity would see a substantial reduction, with Science being cut nearly in half. More charts at https://www.planetary.org/articles/nasa-2026-budget-proposal-in-charts

Major funding pains and mission cancellations coming at NASA on Oct 1.
NASA has been directed to implement the Presidential Budget Request (PBR) with major funding cuts, not the “Big Beautiful Bill” passed by Congress which has more money.
Who knows if Congress will pass the final bill in time or do a Continuing Resolution (CR). In either case, the White House has threatened to use recision to claw back money.
