Story Brief

WASHINGTON — NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman defended a fiscal year 2027 budget proposal that would cut the agency's budget by nearly 25%.

"I certainly support President Trump and his 2027 budget request," he said on CBS News' "Face the Nation" program.

In his first public comments about the budget proposal released April 3, Isaacman said on two television news programs April 5 that the agency had sufficient funding in the proposal to carry out its top exploration priorities despite steep cuts in science, space operations and space technology.
