Well as usual with public interest in space and science at an all time low (after all the kardashian sisters are not involved with space) and the Republicans firmly in charge (and the Tea Party fiscal hawks looking over their shoulders) NASA's budget is going to get axed pretty hard.
Put predictions here if you want. Here are mine.
NASA Budget for 2012 will be cut -15% to -18% (down ~ 2 Billion dollars).
I am not blaming the Republicans by the way, so you conservatives don’t get your undies in a bunch. Just saying its the way things will go when you want to cut spending and you dont have the brass balls to take on Welfare, SS/Medicare, and the military. So things like NASA, NOAA and NIH will get the axe instead even though their budgets are miniscule compared to the big 3 named.
