House appropriators keep NASA funding flat

House Republicans rejected the White House’s proposed NASA cut and held the agency flat

A House subcommittee advanced a bill keeping NASA at $24.438 billion for FY27.
The measure rejects the White House proposal to cut NASA by 23%.
Exploration funding would rise while science would decline but remain well above the administration’s request.
