Tensions between U.S. President Donald Trump and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk are putting NASA’s critical missions at risk. NASA has relied on Musk's SpaceX to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) under a contract valid through 2030. However, Trump has now threatened to cancel SpaceX contracts and cut Tesla subsidies amid a deepening feud. This comes despite SpaceX's vital role in rescuing stranded astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore in March. Experts warn that the rift could derail NASA's future plans, especially after Trump's previous budget cuts to the agency based on Musk’s administrative recommendations. (PC: Reuters)
