Spending in 2025 would be increased by 1 percent, and no caps would apply in 2026 and beyond, the source indicated.Does nasa get cut by the republican plan?

This assessment is premature. The cap is on overall non-defense discretionary spending. It will be up to appropriators in the coming months to decide how to allocate that funding. That could soften the blow to NASA and specific programs within the agency—or exacerbate it.
Meanwhile in the US, politics means NASA will be getting funding frozen next year, and only a 1% increase in 2025. I hope you weren't in any rush to get to the moon.

Will be interesting to see how NASA/Nelson play it, especially in the context of China’s lunar plans.
The Senate committee will mark up the CJS bill on July 13 after Congress returns from a two-week recess over the July 4th holiday.
What are the previous years' CJS spending? I want something to compare @SpcPlcyOnline's $69.637 B senate, $58.676 B house figures to.Edit: https://www.crfb.org/blogs/appropriations-watch-fy-2024 says FY 23 enacted CJS was $82.4 B so it looks like massive cuts are coming to CJS.
The Fiscal Responsibility Act that President Biden signed into law earlier this month after tense negotiations with House Republicans set the top-line funding level for defense at $886 billion and non-defense discretionary spending at $704 billion—though pre-agreed to adjustments will grow the latter number—but lawmakers must still determine how that money will be divided among the 12 bills and for each federal agency.
