@voteinorout: NASA is facing a significant workforce reduction as nearly 4,000 employees, over 20% of its staff, have opted for early retirement or voluntary departure. This exodus includes highly specialized individuals with decades of experience in space exploration. The catalyst for this mass departure is a proposed budget from the White House that threatens to cut billions from NASA's funding. Although Congress, which ultimately determines NASA's budget, may reject these cuts, the loss of these skilled workers poses a challenge. The last time NASA's workforce was this small, humankind had not yet ventured into space. This situation raises concerns about the future of space missions, as funding may be available, but the expertise to execute them could be lacking. #NASA #SpaceExploration #BudgetCuts #WhiteHouse #Congress #EarlyRetirement #WorkforceReduction #SpaceMissions #NASAEmployees #SpaceIndustry #GovernmentFunding #SpaceProgram #STEMCareers — Thousands of NASA workers have quit. #nasa #congress #space #president #budget repost @planetarysociety Help this information get to more voters. 🇺🇸 A well-informed electorate is a prerequisite to Democracy.—Thomas Jefferson
