Addressing the NASA Budget Cuts

Unfortunately this isnt going to be listened to by anyone who needs to see it.

Thank you for advocating for science. It needs to be said and recorded.

***EDIT 5/11/25 I just wanted to say thank you to Dr. Tyson, for using your platform to address this and THANK YOU to all the lovely comments below. I really appreciate them. I feel seen. <3 *** I lost my job in aerospace. I had 10 years in, research, science and education. I don't even know what to do now. I may not be valued but the work I did for the 1000's of kids and families I worked with every year, it mattered. It made a difference.

This is like firing the IT guy because it's been a while since you experienced computer problems.

It's sad how many people don't realize just how important the study and exploration of space is

Sadly, people still don't understand what's happening to our country. And this is just the beginning.

PhD scientist myself working on biomedical research which has been affected by this budget cuts. Insane times

A guy argued with me the other day saying, "We need a nation of workers, not thinkers!" I answered, "Dude, you're talking about an ant colony!"
