NASA’s Isaacman isn’t asking the GOP for more money
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman met with House Republicans but did not request additional funding for the agency’s upcoming missions, including returning humans to the moon and building a Mars spacecraft. He emphasized NASA’s existing budget and the House’s draft bill restoring funding levels, contrasting with the White House’s 2027 budget proposal that included a 25% cut.
