White House releases draft version of its budget request for NASA for fiscal-year 2026 .

According to "passback" documents, the space agency's science programs would receive nearly a 50 percent cut in funding.

Cuts are in line with what Ars Technica exclusively reported last month , that the Trump administration was considering a massive 50-percent cut to NASA science programs.

Again this will depend on negotiations with Congress , but, using a process called impoundment, some Trump officials believe it may be possible to turn the budget request into an actual budget for all intents and purposes. This story originally appeared on Ars Technica ..
