boost_ok If you live in the US, especially convenient to Washington DC, and you would like to help save NASA's science (the funding cuts are very focused on all of the general science that supports *everyone* in *almost every science field* especially environment & climate...) check out this extremely organized chance to help in person in October with a training day and then a meeting day to speak directly to elected officials: https://www.planetary.org/advocacy/day-of-action
"In response to the unprecedented attack on NASA's science activities in the FY 2026 budget proposal, The Planetary Society and nearly a dozen partner organizations are holding a joint Day of Action on October 5th and 6th in Washington, D.C."

An abandoned test tube on Mars could hold the secret to life’s origins. Trump wants to leave it on the Red Planet. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/07/23/nasa-mars-samples-life/

'“Are we alone in the universe?” is the question we ask about life. On Earth, we might well ask: Are we alone among spacefaring nations in giving up just as we are poised to succeed? What will it say about us if, having recovered possible evidence of extraterrestrial life, we abandon it to the Martian dust?'
