Summary

Trump’s executive orders eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, combined with federal workforce cuts, are straining NASA’s ability to safely operate the ISS and pursue Moon and Mars missions.

Staffing shortages have worsened as employees resign or take buyouts, while mission control warns it cannot sustain further reductions.

Former NASA officials argue that diversity strengthens decision-making, and past disasters like Challenger and Columbia highlight the dangers of groupthink.

Experts warn these policies could compromise astronaut safety and hinder America’s space ambitions.

    It’s so cute when people act like Trump sees anyone else as a human being.

    We were all born with no other purpose save to magnify his glory.
