It\u2019s clear to everyone this is the leftover plan from Elon, who wanted to erode the agency into nothing but a money-distributor to SpaceX. Has anyone even bothered to ask what the plan is now that Trump and Elon have gone their separate ways? Clearly, our agency stands little chance of making Artemis a success with this kind of \u201cleadership\u201d, let alone a trip to Mars (and once again, this was an Elon want, parroted by Trump). We are coercing thousands of talented employees to leave for no reason at all. Fiscal responsibility? Give me a break. Even the Space Force is funded more than NASA at this point. Both parties are laughing at the concept of the debt ceiling. We aren\u2019t shying away from our wallet when it comes  to getting involved in international conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>I am also repulsed by the comments made by her cronies. For one \u2013 how is any of this supported by previous trends? Even years with a slight reduction do not add up to what they\u2019re moving forward with. Also \u2013 \u201cthat can still fund a lot of good science\u201d \u2013 seriously? Incredibly insulting. <\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t even get me started on the \u201cwell, the president is her boss! She has to follow orders!\u201d For one \u2013 she does not. For two, Bridenstine negotiated with Trump numerous times on the best solution. Third \u2013 how recently has the Trump admin even weighed in on this post Elon\/DOGE? Congress has given all of us reassurances that the skinny bill is dead on arrival, yet leadership spreads lies to indicate the exact opposite. <\/p>\n<p>NASA has always struggled with poor leadership, but this really takes the cake. I hope she can live with the fact that NASA and aerospace as a whole would be way better off if she never got involved. I\u2019m sorry if that sounds shocking to others, but it\u2019s the truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NeilArmstrongWasRight says: Janet should conserve whatever shred of dignity and respect from her peers she still has left&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15677,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[916,159,783,15714,2579,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-15676","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-nasa","9":"tag-science","10":"tag-space","11":"tag-town-hall","12":"tag-trumpspace","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114748443108999598","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15676\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
