NASA’s Unsung Workforce: Contractors
Over half of #NASA’s workforce are contractors.
Depending on the center, the proportion ranges from 50% to 70%+. Goddard—the most science-focused of all NASA centers—is at the upper end.
There are two main types of NASA contractors.

Anyway, you should do what I did before this makes it to congress and fill out this form to let them know how mad you are at this (MD residents, mainly)

The NY Times and other news outlets reported that GSFC decreased its workforce by 11%.
This figure is misleading; the actual reduction was significantly higher. Here are at least two reasons why:

The closure of the Goddard library is more than a logistics issue—it is an assault on knowledge itself.
NASA is the home of humanity’s most consequential expeditions, yet vandals are about to gut our accumulated archives under the guise of "reorganization".

ROSES is the funding program through which NASA requests proposals to conduct the science it’s known for.
Normally out by February, the 2025 call was just released.
It shows the cuts that have been discussed.

#Landsat, one of NASA's proudest achievements in Earth Sciences, is being "reformulated" but in practice it means it will be killed (see @nasawatch article).
Learn about its history and how much it has contributed to taxpayer, society and business.

It’s been quiet these last seven days or so in Goddard, at least within my circle. Not much to report. In many ways, it’s a typical August lull—quiet hallways and a parking lot that empties quickly by 3–4 p.m., particularly when the weather is nice.

Goddard Space Center library is due to disappear.
It is not about when, but how and where the books will go.
Another casualty in this relentless attack to #science and culture.
it has a FB page. Let's see how long it lasts.

From a Goddard CS who manage(d) a critical network used for air pollution monitoring and satellite validation effort. It is being shutdown now.
So sad to see people who spent decades in this institution be gone so fast with still so much to give.

Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding.
They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.
This season at #NASA isn’t marked by weather, but by loss—civil servants leaving, knowledge being lost.
As we approach the end of the fiscal year (with its expected drastic cuts), here’s what it feels like to be at work now—a personal take based on what I see around me:
