This article from NPR on how the closures last year at NASA Goddard affected programs like the Roman Space Telescope has NASA bigwigs in a tizzy. "NPR spoke with 7 current and former NASA scientists and engineers at Goddard who said the moves that have continued over the past 10 months have resulted in the loss of specialized workspaces, employees…

well if you don’t use the building then you don’t need to pay for its maintenance and any consequences due to the move don’t actually exist and you hate america if you try to point that out. jokes aside i also wonder how much this will cost in projects failing or malfunctioning due to this BS, and the economic impacts of that, same with the brain…

Please spend 10 minutes and look up the statistics of the average number of children to parents with PhD’s and the percentage of parents who pay for their children’s entire college cost Even if you don’t pay the entire college cost, why would you want your kid saddled with a huge amount of debt for their education if they don’t need to be? The…

I genuinely believe Americans would be infuriated if they knew & understood the space program was being dismantled. Excellent reporting from @npr.org

Comparing anything doge did to previous admins budget cuts is inherently a bad faith argument. The reason why “trump is a fascist” in this case is budget cuts usually come from a budget agreed by congress and not some unelected overemployed idiot nazi (musk) being put in by trump to an already existing agency and using it to illegally strip other…

NASA’s budget in 1966 was 4.4% of the total federal budget which is around the same time as the Apollo program. Today, it’s 0.35% of the total federal budget. So yeah, you’re right that NASA has not been capable of leading the USA space program… because of the government disregarding NASA.

I’ll say the same thing I’ve always said. Should’ve voted different. Everything that’s happened past that point has been out of our hands. What’s the use in complaining. America failed itself and deserves what is happening

I agree. But they definitely would be capable of working on robotic missions, or pretty much anything space-related at this point. They are the communism’s pipe dream centralized and specialized industrial complex lol.

Tends to happen when you slash funding… if we want them to lead, they need money to do so. Over a trillion for military aaaaand let’s go 20 billion to nasa. Makes sense. Huh? Why can’t nasa lead??? Are they stupid?
-
Smh what is with these people. Vote blue no matter who because there's nothing they can do to stop Republicans, I guess. They're both the party that will save us and the party that can't.

Cause nasa is not going to give you oil Unless you say there is a gazillion barrel of oils from alien decomposed body found under the moon surface

Nothing screams competent leadership quite like rushing world-class engineers out the door just to let the space sit completely empty.

u/rookisaacman sure seems like a decent person but the administration above him guiding his directives certainly isn’t good.

Sr. Engineer here. Same. Had to repeat, respect for all repeaters. Got an A+ in the 3rd one. Love those proofs!

A lot of engineers came to NASA in 1959 from Canada when there the Avro Arrow project was cancelled.

america you played yourself so hard that you won't be able to fix this mess for decades afterward
