NASA's JPL to Cut 325 Jobs Amid Budget Constraints
TL;DR Summary
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California is laying off 325 employees, about 5% of its workforce, due to budget constraints. This follows a previous layoff of 530 employees earlier this year. The cuts are part of a broader effort to align with reduced funding, including a significant decrease in the budget for the Mars Sample Return mission. Despite generating substantial economic output, NASA has faced budget reductions, impacting projects like the VIPER rover mission to the Moon.
