Holy crap that's a lot of knowledge and experience going. No way this won't have some long term problems

As intended. Republicans want to prove that government is inefficient and incompetent.
...by making it inefficient and incompetent, then pointing and yelling "SEE!!!"
NASA is dead
This is so sad
My husband’s small nasa center needs to let go 650-1000 employees. Even those that aren’t government employees and are contractors are in danger as projects are being cut. People can take the deferred resignation and give up their position or roll the dice and hope they don’t get laid off.
This is sad. NASA is basically begging for funding to keep the lights on, is redlining most of the ISS modules past the end of their lifespans , and is wondering if the Orion program is even going to exist next year now that Trump cut everything.
Meanwhile, China is on track for a crewed moon landing in two years, and to double the size of its space station by 2030.
I don't feel great about NASA's lunar plans right now, but I'm holding onto hope that commercial stations take off. Cutting ISS operations now, when it's more productive than ever, is so stupid and shortsighted, but the clock is ticking and we need to be investing more in the replacements. Vast seems promising.
During a second round of the program, which closed at midnight Friday, 3,000 employees applied to leave the agency, Warner said, following the 870 employees that applied to leave during the first round.
What an odd, round number. No way this isn't made up.
It's called a rounded number and it's totally normal in news reporting
It's normal to say a round number in the headline but report the actual figure in the body. Otherwise that's not reporting, it's hearsay.
