I believe the proposed budget is being marked up tomorrow (July 15th, 12:00). Currently the NSF budget is set to be ~$7 billion, a 23% cut compared to FY2025. I'm not sure how this affects LIGO exactly.

I had read something less recent than what you posted, but in that is said about 40% of ligo funding would be cut https://www.science.org/content/article/trump-s-proposed-cut...

Then again, your file has less drastic reductions on nsf budget so who knows what would be the impact on ligo

I wonder why Bezos doesn’t just pick up the tab, he likes space, right?

Interesting that they break this news today. Props to them for playing the game.
