In a significant show of opposition, hundreds of NASA employees have publicly condemned the proposed budget cuts by the Trump administration, citing concerns over safety and the future of U.S. science and technology. In a scathing open letter, they criticized the rapid and wasteful changes at the agency, warning that such cuts could jeopardize mission safety and impede advancement in space exploration. Employees have mobilized protests, coinciding with the anniversary of the moon landing, to raise awareness about the potential catastrophic impacts of budget reductions. Despite efforts from Congress to resist these cuts, NASA faces an uncertain future as dissent continues to grow among its workforce, illustrating the deep concerns regarding the administration’s approach to funding the agency.
