Email Chain: Lawrence Krauss Criticizes Trump NASA Budget and Space Policy (File 032522)
March 2017 email exchange between physicist Lawrence Krauss and Jeffrey E. discussing concerns about Trump administration NASA funding, federal science budget cuts, and their impact on particle physics research.
Summary
Lawrence Krauss expresses criticism of the Trump administration's focus on Mars landing initiatives through NASA, arguing that the emphasis on large-scale space exploration projects is detrimental to fundamental science research. Krauss specifically warns that proposed $900 million cuts to the Department of Energy's Office of Science would eliminate particle physics funding, including his own research programs. The exchange references Trump signing a NASA bill aimed at Mars exploration and discusses broader concerns about federal science funding priorities.

I always knew he was enamored with human space exploration because it isbig and showy.. I even wrote that in print early on.. for him that is science.. it isn't for those of us who know.. itis more bad news as far as I am concerned because this big budget will decimate real science.. 900 million cutin DOE office fo science will kill particle physics.. will end funding for me, for example..On Mar 22, 2017, at 5:09 AM, jeffrey E. <jeevacation@gmail.com> wrote:you told me you were worried about space and i told you not to worry, he will decimate climate change . andsupport, verifiable projects.On Wed, Mar 22, 2017 at 7:46 AM, Lawrence Krauss_________________________wrote:All shoe.
