NASA guidance is to say that the crew assignments have not changed for Artemis due to Trump admin EOs, but the language about landing the first woman and first person of color on the Moon have been removed from NASA sites and releases.

NASA is working on new travel guidelines to try to make DOGE happy. There was an update to NPR 9710.1 (nodis3.gsfc.nasa.gov/displayDir.c...) but apparently the Administrator rejected it.
Long story short - a lot of useful travel is being cancelled.

Just in case you thought DEI was some new-fangled idea at NASA, I found this Equal Opportunity Award trophy at NASA HQ today which was first awarded to Goddard Space Flight Center in ***1980***, which was 45 years ago for people who are too afraid to count.

IT teams at #NASA are pushing operational priority deadlines out, sometimes months, to account for loss of resources from deferred resignations, and delays due to Return to Onsite Work and other executive orders.

Are you a recently dismissed federal employee? MSNBC.com is looking for first-person pieces about what you were working on, why you joined the government, etc.

As these layoffs roll through, we can defend NASA without lionizing it. I'm not a unique genius. I'm not the best at what I do! I work really hard and so do a lot of other folks at NASA, and we deserve to be treated with respect as workers, not because what we do is uniquely brilliant or important.
