This is sad. NASA is basically begging for funding to keep the lights on, is redlining most of the ISS modules past the end of their lifespans , and is wondering if the Orion program is even going to exist next year now that Trump cut everything.
Meanwhile, China is on track for a crewed moon landing in two years, and to double the size of its space station by 2030.
I don’t feel great about NASA’s lunar plans right now, but I’m holding onto hope that commercial stations take off. Cutting ISS operations now, when it’s more productive than ever, is so stupid and shortsighted, but the clock is ticking and we need to be investing more in the replacements. Vast seems promising.
