What a wild week it's been for NASA. With drastic budget cuts looming—pending any action by Congress—then comes the sudden and unexpected pulling of Jared Isaacman for the role of NASA Administrator, with no replacement named. Then came the very public split between President Trump and Elon Musk, and a flurry of furious Twitter/X and Truth Social postings, aimed at each other with razor-sharp edges. And finally, the proposed and drastic cuts to NASA outreach and education budgets, slimming them to nearly nothing. These are strange and concerning times for America's space agency, a premier global brand and icon of peaceful American prowess. We turned to Casey Dreier, the Chief of Space Policy for The Planetary Society, who has been quite vocal in his concern, for context. These are critical times for spaceflight, so you won't want to miss this episode!Headlines Trump and Musk "Bromance" Ends: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik discuss the public falling out between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, which included Trump's threats to cancel SpaceX contracts and Musk's counter-accusations regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Mark was with us today to discuss multiple topics including suggested White House OMB NASA Science budget cuts. We spent the first part of our program going through these suggested cuts with Mark saying he doubted congress would agree to them. He also mentioned that Musk had posted on Twitter that he was not in support of these cuts. Several callers and those sending in emails also did not support the cuts. Other topics included Boeing and NASA on their plans to repair the Starliner, Starship plans, Artemis plans and which Artemis missions might be scrapped when the new Administrator is confirmed. The Senate committee meeting with proposed Administrator Isaacman was a discussion topic along with the potential damage Musk might be doing to space and SpaceX with his politics. Please read the full summary when it is posted at www.thespaceshow.com for this day, Sunday, April 13, 2025.
NASA sent two astronauts up in June 2024 expecting they'd be back in just over a week. But the Starliner spacecraft they used had some unexpected issues—think leaky systems and moody thrusters—so it couldn't safely bring them home. Instead of taking chances, NASA decided to leave the ship up there and bring it back empty. So the astronauts had to hang out on the ISS way longer than planned—like, months longer. They finally hitched a ride back with SpaceX in March 2025. Not the plan, but hey, they made history and got a whole lot of space miles!

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 13th of March and here are the headlines.Tamil Nadu Replaces Devanagari Rupee Symbol with Tamil Letter in Budget LogoAhead of its budget presentation on March 14, the Tamil Nadu government has replaced the Devanagari rupee symbol with the Tamil rupee letter in its official logo. The logo, featuring the slogan "Ellorkkum Ellaam" (Everything for Everyone), was unveiled by Chief Minister M K Stalin's office on Thursday. A source from the Chief Minister's Office explained that this change prioritizes Tamil over Devanagari. DMK spokesperson Savaranan Annadurai affirmed the decision, emphasizing the importance of promoting Tamil, especially amid ongoing tensions over the Centre's three-language policy.Karnataka Withdraws CID Inquiry on Bengaluru Airport Protocol MishandlingThe Karnataka government has retracted its order for a CID inquiry into alleged police protocol mishandling at Bengaluru airport involving actress Ranya Rao. Rao, arrested for smuggling 14.2 kg of gold, had her travel monitored by protocol officers. The withdrawal followed a parallel order from the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms (DPAR), which tasked senior IAS officer Gaurav Gupta with investigating misuse of protocol services by senior DGP-rank officer K Ramachandra Rao, who is also Rao's stepfather. The investigation had raised significant political and procedural concerns.SBI Chairman: India Needs 8% Growth for Progress Despite SlowdownChalla Sreenivasulu Setty, Chairman of the State Bank of India (SBI), emphasized that India must target an 8% growth rate for sustainable progress. While the current growth rate of around 6% is a concern, Setty argued that it may be a temporary slowdown and not a reason for alarm. In an interview with The Indian Express, Setty explained that the country's long-term growth story remains intact, highlighting the importance of consumption and private capital expenditure to fuel future economic growth, even amid recent challenges.Sunita Williams' Return to Earth Delayed by SpaceX Launch ScrubNASA astronaut Sunita Williams' long-awaited return to Earth has been delayed after SpaceX scrubbed the launch of a replacement crew to the International Space Station (ISS). Williams and fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore have been stuck in space for nine months aboard Boeing's faulty Starliner. NASA had planned a SpaceX rocket launch from Florida to bring a new crew, which would have allowed Williams and Wilmore to return. However, the launch was delayed due to a hydraulic system issue with the Falcon 9 rocket's ground support clamp arm, NASA confirmed.US Officials to Visit Moscow for Ceasefire Talks Amid Escalating Ukraine ConflictSenior US officials are set to visit Moscow for ceasefire negotiations as Russia ramps up its military activities in Ukraine's Kursk region. The visit follows a meeting in Saudi Arabia where Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire, shifting pressure onto Russia. US President Donald Trump confirmed the upcoming visit, noting that a "positive message means nothing" without Russia's action. While the White House hasn't confirmed which officials will attend, National Security Secretary Mike Waltz and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff are reportedly part of the delegation heading to Moscow.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by the Indian Express.
