NASA Funding Cuts: Space advocates rally in Washington to save Artemis Mission
In response to proposed budget cuts under President Donald Trump's administration, space advocates and community leaders from South Mississippi and across the nation rallied in Washington, D.C., to protect crucial NASA programs. At the heart of the advocacy are the Stennis Space Center in Hancock County, Mississippi, and the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, two of the Gulf Coast's largest employers and vital contributors to the Artemis program. With the future of the Artemis Campaign potentially at risk, these advocates are urging lawmakers to ensure continued funding to support America's ambitions in space exploration. Stennis and Michoud: NASA's crucial space facilities The Stennis Space Center and the Michoud Assembly Facility are critical to the development of NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon and eventually reach Mars. The Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft, both essential components of Artemis, are built and tested at these facilities. Any funding cuts could severely impact operations, jobs, and the broader economy of South Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana, where these centers are located. 'These programs don't just represent exploration, they represent thousands of skilled jobs and future opportunities for our region,' said Tish Williams, executive director of Partners for Stennis and Michoud. Advocacy for NASA funds in Washington Tish Williams, along with over 100 members of Citizens for Space Exploration from 25 states, traveled to Washington to voice concerns directly to lawmakers. The group met with congressional leaders to stress the need to maintain NASA funding at no less than Fiscal Year 2024 levels. Their message was clear: cutting funds now, after only three Artemis flights, would be a major setback for America's space ambitions. 'If there's any cut to the Artemis programs after only having three flights, that would be devastating,' Williams emphasized. 'We need full funding to maintain momentum and meet strategic goals, including reaching the Moon before China.' Political support and legislative momentum Despite the challenges posed by the presidential budget proposal, Williams said there is optimism on Capitol Hill. Lawmakers are already drafting language aimed at preserving funding for NASA's Artemis-related programs. Mississippi's congressional delegation has reportedly played a key role in pushing for continued investment in the space sector. 'This is the president's proposal,' Williams noted. 'But Congress ultimately decides the budget. The good news is that many legislators understand what's at stake, not just for Mississippi, but for the country's position in global space leadership.' A critical crossroads for space exploration Industry experts believe it will take at least another eight years of consistent investment to fully realize the technological advancements needed for long-term space missions. Advocates argue that now is not the time to scale back. With continued collaboration between NASA, local communities, and federal lawmakers, space advocates hope to secure the necessary funding and ensure that America remains at the forefront of space exploration with Stennis and Michoud leading the way.

‘Come witness Sabah's 40% revenue entitlement case'
KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Law Society's (SLS) case on the state's 40% revenue entitlement will be heard by the High Court of Sabah and Sarawak on July 7. SLS immediate past president Datuk Roger Chin said the public is welcome to attend and observe the proceedings, describing it as a rare opportunity to witness constitutional proceedings of major significance. The case centres on whether the Federal Government failed in its constitutional duty to review and pay Sabah its rightful 40% share of net revenue collected from the state, a review that was supposed to take place in 1974 but said to have only happened in 2022. 'This is not a political issue but a constitutional obligation. It is a test of constitutional fidelity and federalism, and every Sabahan has a stake in the outcome,' Chin said in a statement yesterday. He said the case offers Sabahans an opportunity to witness how a key issue concerning the state's constitutional rights is deliberated on. The SLS argues that Articles 112C and 112D of the Federal Constitution, along with Part IV of the Tenth Schedule, entitle Sabah to receive 40% of the net revenue collected by the Federal Government from the state, over and above what was collected in 1963. It contends that the Federal Government was required to review this entitlement by 1974, but no such review occurred until almost five decades later. The Federal Government, however, argues that the 40% formula was replaced by a fixed annual grant of RM26.7mil following a review in 1969, and that continued payments and negotiations over the years fulfil its constitutional duties. Chin said the Sabah government acknowledged that no review occurred from 1974 to 2021 despite it consistently pushing for it. To help the public understand the context of the case, SLS will host a townhall at its secretariat at 3pm on June 20. Those interested can register by calling 088-232 662.
