    Trump says NASA found DEI on the Moon so they never returned. There's
    DEI in that spacecraft somewhere so it needs to be destroyed.

    “We are going to have DOGE come. They’re going to look, similarly to what they’ve done at other agencies, at our payments and what money has gone out,” she said, but did not specify what DOGE would be looking for in those payments.

    https://san.com/cc/department-of-defense-and-nasa-face-major-cuts-amid-doge-inquiries/

    The Department of Defense (DOD) is the latest target of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE staffers were at the Pentagon on Tuesday, collecting lists of the military’s probationary employees.
    NASA is also facing cuts, with Acting Administrator Janet Petro having
    recently confirmed that DOGE staffers are reviewing the agency’s
    contracts.

    NASA landed instruments on Mars in 1975.
    NASA has a robot on Mars today.

    Great news, if you're Canada, Europe, The UK, China and a few more
    competitors. Scientists in the USA should update their resume's with
    any dish washing experience they have because there will be no jobs for
    them by next year.
