This is officially one of the strangest pictures in American history, and I do not doubt that it will be considered iconic a hundred years from now.

Friends, I was so angry. I just gave two neighbours grocery gift cards because I know they use the program. Everyone deserves food.

During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry?

JPLers, because we are contractors via Caltech, had no voluntary deferred resignation program like NASA civil servants. The lab is bleeding high-level talent even without layoffs. It will take decades (or lots and lots of $) to recover.

If it wasn’t clear, this is all in the context of another 10% layoff at NASA JPL happening tomorrow.
Part of the cuts stem from JPL’s failure to put together a feasible mars sample return mission, but also a huge driver is NASA capitulating in advance to the presidents budget request.

Tomorrow about a third of Perseverance rover staff will be laid off, despite the mission being the penultimate step in a decades long effort to bring samples back from mars.
Reckless, needless budget cuts intended to hinder the pursuit of knowledge.
