Dear Interim Administrator Duffy,In light of your recent appointment as Interim NASA Administrator, we bring to your attention recent policies that have or threaten to waste public resources, compromise human safety, weaken national security, and undermine the core NASA mission. We, the signatories of this letter, dissent from these policies, and raise these concerns because we believe strongly in the importance of NASA's mission, which we are dedicated to uphold.Major programmatic shifts at NASA must be implemented strategically so that risks are managed carefully. Instead, the last six months have seen rapid and wasteful changes which have undermined our mission and caused catastrophic impacts on NASA's workforce. We are compelled to speak up when our leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety, scientific advancement, and efficient use of public resources. These cuts are arbitrary and have been enacted in defiance of congressional appropriations law The consequences for the agency and the country alike are dire.</a></label><br><a href="https://cdn.masto.host/medmastodoncom/media_attachments/files/114/891/868/025/584/647/original/e3259f9ff68df615.jpg" rel="external">https://cdn.masto.host/medmastodoncom/media_attachments/files/114/891/868/025/584/647/original/e3259f9ff68df615.jpg</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/4968265">Who We AreThe signatories of this letter are current and former NASA employees from every NASA center and mission directorate. In addition to named signatories, we include anonymous signatories who share our concerns but choose not to be identified due to the culture of fear of retaliation cultivated by this administration. As a group of individuals from a diversity of nationalities, races, abilities, sexualities, and gender identities, we stand unified in support of NASA's core values: safety, integrity, teamwork, excellence, and inclusion.</a></label><br><a href="https://cdn.masto.host/medmastodoncom/media_attachments/files/114/891/868/045/872/236/original/020d65328d24680b.jpg" rel="external">https://cdn.masto.host/medmastodoncom/media_attachments/files/114/891/868/045/872/236/original/020d65328d24680b.jpg</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/4968266">We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at the NIH and EPA who have released similar statements concerning the administration's actions at their respective agencies.We dedicate this letter to Gus Grissom, Ed White, Roger Chaffee, Dick Scobee, Michael J. Smith, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Gregory Jarvis, Christa McAuliffe, Rick Husband, Willie McCool, Michael Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, David Brown, Laurel Clark, and Ilan Ramon. Their legacies underpin every conversation about our shared commitment to safety and dissenting opinions at NASA.</a></label><br><a href="https://cdn.masto.host/medmastodoncom/media_attachments/files/114/891/868/027/372/958/original/87a95d42bc207e4f.jpg" rel="external">https://cdn.masto.host/medmastodoncom/media_attachments/files/114/891/868/027/372/958/original/87a95d42bc207e4f.jpg</a></li></ol></footer></blockquote>
