Trump Administration Wants To End NASA Funding For ISS By 2025 (theverge.com)
According to budget documents seen by The Verge, the Trump administration is preparing to end support for the International Space Station program by 2025. As a result, American astronauts could be grounded on Earth for years with no destination in space until NASA develops new vehicles for its deep space travel plans. From the report: The draft may change before an official budget request is released on February 12th. However, two people familiar with the matter have confirmed to The Verge that the directive will be in the final proposal. We reached out to NASA for comment, but did not receive a response by the time of publication. Any budget proposal from the Trump administration will also be subject to scrutiny and approval by Congress. But even announcing the intention to cancel ISS funding could send a signal to NASA's international partners that the U.S. is no longer interested in continuing the program. Many of NASA's partners still have yet to decide if they'd like to continue working on the station beyond 2024. The International Space Station has been an ongoing program for more than two decades. It costs NASA between $3 to $4 billion each year, and represents a more than $87 billion investment from the U.S. government. It's become a major hub for conducting both government and commercial experiments in microgravity, as well as testing out how the human body responds to weightlessness.

Trump (and the people who voted for him) are driving the USA into the ground.
The real "Libtards" are the Libertarians!
I think we all know the real reason that Trump is trying to kill off the ISS: He's a Nazi spy working for the 4th Reich who are waiting on the dark side of the moon for their chance to invade and the ISS is our best line of defence! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Debate is a form of harassment. Do not question my truth.
FYI:

"Obama also announced an extension of funding for International Space Station operations, 90% complete by mass[15] at the time of the speech but scheduled to be deorbited by as early as 2015 before Obama announced the extension, which will provide funding through 2020."
Tell that to the homeless white guy. Tell that to the white farmers in Africa. Tell that to the French in Haiti in 1791. Tell that to the white slaves throughout history.
Now they start to get a little push back and they act like they're the ones being oppressed.
Because revenge is not the same is equal opportunity.
Most white people wouldn't last a month as a black person in the US.
You have never been to a trailer park, have you?
You are a piece of shit that dresses up their racism in feel-good-progressive double speak like "privilege" to make you feel moral about your bigotry and hatred.
What corruption and incompetence? This is a vague and baseless accusation. You're the one whose decisions cannot be trusted if they are based on rumors and made up theories.
The DOE ignored its own study in order to try and pass a BS rule to favour coal power plants.
The FCC ignored studies and proper rationale to kill Net Neutrality.
The HHS who administers the ACA is running ACA scare stories.
The directory of the CIA is undercutting his own agencies conclusions.
The Secretary of State is decimating the State Department with cutbacks.
So when you tell me that the a member of the Trump administration wants to do X I do not give them the benefit of the doubt.
