On the moon again: Americans Still Ask for Money

In the annual budget requirement, the White House asked Congress to spend more than $25 billion on NASA for fiscal year 2021, $12.4 billion, which separated from the moon landing program. This would be another significant increase in funding space agencies.

The agency's budget was less than $20 billion in 2017, the year President Donald Trump took office, increasing to $22.6 billion for fiscal year 2020, which ends on September 30th.

The document also shows the goal of increasing NASA's budget to $26.3 billion in fiscal year 2025.

There is no guarantee that Congress will comply with the administration's request. The proposal for the White House budget is largely a testimony to its priorities, and lawmakers have no obligation to follow.

Convention usually sets aside for NASA the sum the White House is asking for or even more.

The Space Agency received most of the money, but not all the money it asked for its Moon Research Programme, called Artemis, in decisions adopted by lawmakers in mid-December.

NASA also sought assistance from car companies to build a vehicle for their projects.
