Like lol, lmfao even.

What the USSF (or that workshop) should be doing right now is devising ways on getting their two stranded astronauts back to Earth first, instead of daydreaming about rescuing stranded Chinese astronauts from their lunar base in the 2050s.

Also, is their workshop timeframe hinging on the assumption (or shall I say, dream) that China is just a Soviet Union 2.0?
LOL
This is worse than Nero playing his fiddle while Rome burns.
May I suggest:
7: Tackling anti-Eskimo racism in Starbucks on Lunar bases
8. LGBT on Mars: drag queen story hour for Martian children.

The 17 protected expenditures:


Not sure what "Executable" means exactly - current or imminent productions?

Notably, NGAD (except CCA), FA-XX, B-21 not protected.

Not cuts per se but moving funding from legacy programs into whatever deranged fantasies Trump and Musk have dreamed up (e.g. 'Iron Dome for America').
I don't think this is possible. Thats money that Congress has appropriated already

For sure Trump's administration could make a lower funding request for Defence next time, but that's up to Congress to agree or not.

I think all these measures are just PR tbh

The more I think about it, the more I believe you are right. The Senate is proposing a $150 billion plus up through reconciliation. The House is much more Trumpian, but I bet the Senate gets its way. They are much more hawkish compared to most members and are almost all staunch supporters of NATO, Ukraine and in general standard US institutions and foreign policy.
