Trump's NASA Budget Proposal
06/06/2017
The Trump administration is proposing a 19 billion dollar budget for NASA in fiscal year 2018
- a less than 1% decrease from 2017 - as part of the overall 1.1 trillion dollar draft budget.
The 2018 budget eliminates NASA's Office of Education
which is used for engaging and educating Americans in NASA's overall mission.
The budget focuses on deep space exploration rather than Earth centric research. NASA's acting administrator said in a statement "The FY2018 proposal is a positive budget overall for NASA".

State of shock: 200-year-old law about gas mixtures called into questionAccording to a new study led by a team from The University of New Mexico, centuries-old laws about the behavior of gas mixtures do not apply in the presence of shock waves. This finding could have potential impact on everything that involves mixtures of gases exposed to a shock wave, for example, during combustion in an engine.
