NASA will lose over 2,000 senior staff due to proposed Trump budget cuts


Over 2,000 senior NASA staff are set to leave their positions ahead of proposed budget cuts.

NASA is set to lose at least 2,145 senior staff members as part of the Trump administration's push for budget cuts, Politico reports. The brain drain could severely impact future research and missions, and is happening not long before the organization plans to send a new crew of astronauts to the Moon in 2026. The Trump administration is asking for an over $6 billion cut to NASA's 2025 budget, which would jeopardize multiple upcoming missions and research projects, including the Gateway lunar orbit station.
