When The Levee Breaks ...

 ... If it keeps on rainin, levees goin to break. I wish I could have been wrong and not to be a bad news' bearer. 

If it keeps on rainin, levees goin to break,
When the levee breaks Ill have no place to stay.
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Lord, mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,

But National Science Foundation 2026 Budget Request to Congress is a catastrophe for American science. It is also a disgrace. 

Shocking! And don't tell me (and others) that we didn't warn--we did. 

Sadly, Only In Russian.

Some sensational statements about Russia's Moon and Mars programs and existing prototypes of new ion and nuclear engines. Lovely girl squeezed Putin for financing, including for composite (alloy) which will defend living cells (euphemism for cosmonauts) from radiation. The work on this issue is already very advanced along the way. Maybe somebody knows how to translate it. Ah, yes--Russia increased financing of the science to 2% of GDP--huge sum of money.
