      Ayo never thought I would see Space giants go through a layoff season like Tech giants.

      Good luck with mods not deleting your post. They’ve been deleting all the JPL layoff news for some reason

      Gonna be a great day to hire if you’re a Chinese firm looking for some people who want to leave the United States behind

      Aaand get ready for another post to bite the dust lol.

      Seriously, mods really need to explain why these posts are being removed for being “off-topic” when they are quite literally directly relevant to this sub.

      I bet China would love to hire a few dozen former JPL employees. I’m sure that wouldn’t be damaging to national defense at all.

      It’s a shame. I do agree with the cancellation of MSR for JPL because of the cost overruns and time delays. But firing some of the best and brightest instead of using their prowess on other projects is a shame, especially if Isaacman might become NASA admin after all.

      Imo, JPL should be focusing on things like nuclear/nuclear thermal propulsion and develop breakthrough technologies that no private companies are capable of developing.

      We should be spending more on space and space exploration and not less 🙁 I hope many of those fired are able to get a job elsewhere, but it’s a shame it had to go down like this

      Making America Great Again, I guess. Every major institution we have going around the drain. I’m tired of winning, to be honest.

      Odd how this story is continuously disappearing and reappearing on this sub all day today.
