Hundreds Rally in Houston Against Cuts at NASA's Johnson Space Center
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Houston, Texas, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Johnson
Space Center Monday for a union-led rally to oppose mass firings and
layoffs imposed on NASA by Elon Musk and his DOGE operation. Ars
Technica reports Trump is considering cuts of up to 50% from NASA's
science budget, a prospect described by the Planetary Society as
"nothing short of an extinction-level event for space science."
