>“For the moment there are no decisions to continue the cooperation on the Chang’e-7 or -8,” Karl Bergquist, ESA’s international relations administrator, told SpaceNews.
>“ESA will not cooperate on ILRS as this is a Sino-Russian initiative and space cooperation with Russia is at present under embargo,” Bergquist stated.

ESA cooperation with China will end due to Russia

>In the June 6 letter to NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, the nine members, all Democrats and most from Massachusetts, where Chandra’s operations center is located, expressed their opposition to NASA’s plans in its fiscal year 2025 budget proposal to slash funding for the 25-year-old telescope, a move that scientists said could effectively cancel the mission.
>The letter went on that a “premature termination” of Chandra would have major impacts on the X-ray astrophysics community, “potentially driving talent to other countries.”

Literal astroturfing the discussion, guaranteed that they'll start saying cuts need to be made elsewhere like letting Hubble die

That depends on whether the tower is Japanese or American. If the former, guaranteed catch. If the latter, 50% chance they'll ask for a fork.

Nope. Hubble is more productive than Chandra, no one would say that. Chandra is also arguably in a worse condition. The cuts should fall elsewhere, like SLS or saving money from MSR.
