Amid NASA cuts, popular social accounts for Mars rovers, Voyager going dark
Briefly

President Trump's proposed NASA budget cuts public relations funding by half, leading to the consolidation of social media accounts for major missions like Mars Curiosity, Perseverance, and Voyager. These accounts have large followings and have fostered a strong community interaction via whimsical posts. Following the announcement, each account expressed gratitude for fan support, indicating a strong connection between the public and these robotic missions. The changes aim to streamline communication but threaten the unique engagement these accounts have established with their audiences.
Wow, thank you all for the supportive messages. I may be a robot, but I felt every bit of love, reads a post from @MarsCuriosity.
All of your supportive words are more meaningful to me than ones and zeroes could ever be. My work on Mars continues.
