NASA to layoff over 1,200 workers.


Despite the government passing the $19 billion budget for space agencies, NASA will still layoff over 1,200 workers from the governmental agency. On Thursday many workers had their last day at the workstations and received their final paycheck, many of whom have been working there since the 1980's. Later that Wednesday, the Senate passed the NASA Reauthorization Act, following the Senate's approval. This would give NASA the authority to move forward with President Barack Obama's strategy for the agency and to help re-employ the workers that were let go.
It is in my belief that the new Reauthorization Act should be profitable enough for to re-employ the workers that were originally let go. I think that the space program is very important for the U.S. and we should continue to invest money into the company.
