DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, JUL 25 – NASA faces mass layoffs and program cancellations due to a proposed 50% budget cut, with over 2,000 senior staff expected to resign, raising concerns about U.S. space leadership.

  • About 20 percent of NASA's employees, around 3,870 people, are expected to depart the space agency as part of a voluntary resignation program.
  • A group of 360 current and former NASA employees penned a letter expressing concerns about 'rapid and wasteful changes' across staffing, missions, and budgets at NASA.
  • Democrats on a House committee overseeing NASA's budget have warned the agency's acting administrator that it would be 'flatly illegal' to proceed with structural and workforce changes before NASA's budget is passed by Congress.
