@SciGuySpace I simply cannot believe this might happen. Disaster? Yes. Tragic? Absolutely. Sickening? I think so. Jared @rookisaacman doesn't need @NASA but it surely needs him. 16.6K views · 519 likes · 21 reposts · 9 replies Open on X →

The reality is that Jared cared deeply about NASA and space exploration. There’s no guarantee the next person will. More likely is that we get someone who acts out of loyalty to the administration first and foremost. 91.3K views · 2.2K likes · 99 reposts · 60 replies Open on X →

A likely disaster for NASA. There were two final choices for admin six months ago. One was a budget cutter. The other was Jared. 1M views · 3.6K likes · 294 reposts · 198 replies Open on X →

@SciGuySpace Cutting JPL would be quite simply one of the most tragic things to ever happen to science. 523 views · 10 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

I'm seeing confusion about who is making the cuts. It's not NASA. It's not Jared Isaacman (he's not confirmed yet). It's not Elon. It's mostly the White House Office of Management and Budget. In terms of sourcing, I did not receive these documents from NASA employees. 59.7K views · 1.1K likes · 53 reposts · 33 replies Open on X →

Note that the story references the likely closure of Goddard Space Flight Center. However other centers, including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, would be at grave risk. These cuts threaten NASA's entire science portfolio across several centers. 88.4K views · 1K likes · 71 reposts · 18 replies Open on X →

@SciGuySpace Troubling. I am very much in favor of science, but unfortunately cannot participate in NASA budget discussions, due to SpaceX being a major contractor to NASA. 258.7K views · 3.8K likes · 256 reposts · 268 replies Open on X →
