I have to ask (rhetorically): If Trump & his cronies *weren’t* trying to kneecap our country in the name of helping foreign interests, what would they be doing differently? So many of these decisions make 0 objective sense. What is “America 1st” about this? Or punishing disabled children?

Trump making sure that in space nobody can hear him scream “CHINA FIRST”.

THIS JUST IN: the current administration is TOXIC AF to scientific exploration/expansion. what the f*ck did you expect, electing this idiot?

Vandalism of science. Missions we cannot get back on track.

What? Aren’t these some of the most talented engineers on the planet?

But, but, but...how's Duffy getting to the moon?

I wonder if they've ever had layoffs before.

Is this you reporting @tonycampari.bsky.social

It would be very good if investigative journalists would dig into JPL's stated reason for these layoffs and the likely consequences for JPL's ongoing projects.

Ok, you gave me a little chuckle. Thank you 😁

I'm no rocket scientist but this seems bad.

the “goal” of doge was to eliminate the numerous investigations into the crimes of nazi elmo’s many companies and he succeeded

Really dumb move by a really dumb administration...

I said it before and I’ll say it again, in 10 years we’ll be 40 years behind the rest of the world.

I guess America will just innovate technologically through mandating that the remaining scientists... do more push-ups, right? When the Leader orders it, it shall be done (of course, they never read further as to how every authoritarian regime is riddled with fake stats and ass-kissers).

And you know who will benefit from that... 😡 #USpoli #Trump #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown #GOPShutdown #TrumpIsNotFitForOffice

Trump. Accelerating the decline of America, one stupid decision at a time.

JPL is a bastion of science and progress. Trump caused this. Insane.

So at the same time Road Rules Duffy is on Murdoch Media talking about putting nuclear ice machines on the South Pole of the Moon... Elon Musk’s old outfit is giving NASA the ol' RUD. I’m sure there’s nothing nefarious going on. [cough]

Pretty sure we’re not getting beyond the moon. China and Europe will get there though because they will fund their projects properly

Another scientific institution weakened so China and Russia can overtake the USA in basic research.

America is witnessing so much winning! (Sarcasm)

There goes the Big Bang reboot. Sorry Sheldon.

idk, but he needs to take his laminated, unattractive face somewhere else

Good question!

They have absolutely no idea the domino effect will be.
