Opening text:

*Dear Interim Administrator Duffy,*

*In light of your recent appointment as Interim NASA Administrator, we bring to your attention recent policies that have or threaten to waste public resources, compromise human safety, weaken national security, and undermine the core NASA mission. We, the signatories of this letter, dissent from these policies, and raise these concerns because we believe strongly in the importance of NASA’s mission, which we are dedicated to uphold.*

*Major programmatic shifts at NASA must be implemented strategically so that risks are managed carefully. Instead, the last six months have seen rapid and wasteful changes which have undermined our mission and caused catastrophic impacts on NASA’s workforce. We are compelled to speak up when our leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety, scientific advancement, and efficient use of public resources. These cuts are arbitrary and have been enacted in defiance of congressional appropriations law. The consequences for the agency and the country alike are dire.*

NASA should take an example from Columbia university and just pay Trump a portion of the federal funding they are due to receive. Then everyone wins! /s

Why is this whole fucking thing like the worst episode of the Sopranos?

People getting fired say lives are at stake due to said firing. MORE, tonight at 10.
