Nearly 300 current and former NASA employees, including at least four astronauts, have signed the 'Voyager Declaration,' a formal letter opposing the Trump administration's proposed steep budget cuts and rapid organizational changes at the agency. The signatories, comprising scientists, engineers, and astronauts, warn that these arbitrary cuts and political interference could jeopardize decades of progress in space exploration, aeronautics, and potentially endanger astronaut safety. The dissent has been expressed amid a wave of resignations at NASA's leadership, including Makenzie Lystrup, director of the Goddard Space Flight Center, who announced her departure shortly after the director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory resigned. The letter and resignations highlight internal concerns about the administration's direction for NASA and its impact on the agency's future missions and operations.
