US Cuts Space Cash; Spain Says 'Beam Us In!'
After Trump's budget cuts "gutted funding for one of the worldâs largest astronomy projects," Spain stepped in with a $470 million rescue plan, offering both cash and a new home on La Palma. Meanwhile, the US apparently decided to take a backseat as Europe "is stepping in to pick up the slack" on climate, aid, and scientific investments. So apparently when it comes to star-gazing and serious science, the US is more about star-losing. Spain to NASA: 'Houston, we got your money!'

(1 of 3)Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where Americaâs idea of space exploration is voting it off the budget island? Meanwhile, Spain just puts on a firefighter suit and douses the whole sky-science house blaze with $470 million.
So let me get this straight: the US spins the budget wheel, lands on 'astronomy? Meh,' and Spain picks up $470 million like itâs the universeâs lost wallet?
This drama is like watching the US bail on the science party, and Spain crashes it with a giant cosmic checkâlike showing up with pizza at a vegan picnic and STILL saving the day.
