NASA is experiencing a significant outflow of personnel, with nearly 3,000 employees departing. This exodus includes key leadership figures, highlighted by Makenzie Lystrup's upcoming departure from Goddard Space Flight Center. Her resignation follows closely on the heels of the director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) stepping down, raising questions about potential shifts or challenges within the agency. The combined loss of experienced personnel could impact ongoing projects and future initiatives at NASA, requiring strategic adaptation and talent retention efforts.
