Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump-Musk Feud Sparks New Concerns Over NASA Budget Cuts
Caption: Trump-Musk Feud Sparks New Concerns Over NASA Budget Cuts. The ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk has heightened concerns about NASA’s future funding. The White House had already proposed significant cuts to NASA’s budget, including slashing nearly half of the funding for science projects. Now, Trump has threatened to withdraw federal contracts with Musk's SpaceX, which could further harm the U.S. space program. NASA heavily relies on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets for resupplying the International Space Station and SpaceX's Starship is key for future missions to the Moon and Mars. Even before this public dispute, NASA faced uncertainty, with 40 science missions at risk of being canceled. The only area spared is the Mars mission, which received a $100 million boost, but other programs could see deep cuts.
