A U.S. Navy Sailor assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 23 "Wildcards" recovers a NASA Astronaut into an MH-60S Seahawk from the “front porch,” an inflatable raft, during NASA Underway Recovery Test 12 in the Pacific Ocean, March 28, 2025. In preparation for NASA's Artemis II crewed mission, which will send four astronauts around the Moon and beyond in the Orion spacecraft, NASA and the Department of Defense will conduct a series of tests to demonstrate and evaluate the processes, procedures, and hardware used in recovery operations for crewed lunar missions. The Department of Defense has many unique capabilities that make it an ideal partner to support NASA, including its amphibious ships with the ability to embark helicopters, launch and recover small boats and provide medical care at advanced onboard facilities.

Nelson is such a cuck. I despise his political scaremongering and kowtowing.

Former NASA Administrator Bill Nelson says he is concerned about some of the recent changes at the agency, such as the firing of its chief scientist.

I'd be a little more than "concerned".

“Now I take the long view,” he said. “I think compared to other agencies, NASA is not getting it nearly as bad.”

2026 could see NASA’s overall science programs slashed by as much as 50%.
