Trump Admin Slashes NASA Workforce: Significant Cuts Hit Space Agency
2025-02-18
In just four weeks, the Trump administration has cut NASA's workforce by approximately 10%, impacting nearly 1800 employees. Around 750 accepted a deferred resignation offer, while roughly 1000 probationary employees were terminated. However, further significant cuts are anticipated. NASA field center directors have been instructed to prepare for substantial reductions in force in the coming months. This casts a pall of uncertainty over already demoralized staff and signals the Trump administration's intention to implement deeper budget cuts, potentially jeopardizing the future of American space exploration.
