      >Reducing the size of the crew complement of Crew Dragon missions from four to three, starting with Crew-12 in February 2026

      So NASA will pay full price for launches for the richest man in the world, but will produce less than 75% of the science from that? Is this that famous DOGE efficiency that Musk brags so much about?

      We make a huge investment to launch and build the thing and then under-use it while its still operational? Highly illogical.

      Since no one can be bothered to read the article:

      >The cuts are by no means a certainty. There was some confusion on Wednesday because, although the cuts appear to align with the Trump administration’s goals, **they were not being considered at the request of Trump space officials or in response to the budget release.** Rather, they were made at the programmatic level.

      Makes the headline choice seem a bit disingenuous.
