Some good news in these trying times - Congress will restore most of the NASA budget cuts sought by the White House. The $24.4 billion budget plan is slightly below the funding level in 2024 and 2025, but $5.6 billion higher than the White House proposal and restores most of funding for the Science Mission Directorate, which the White House had cut by almost half.

Here is some more detail on the funding for NASA in the House and Senate Appropriations Committee agreement. Let's hope the White House does not tinker with the funding and shift dollars elsewhere.
