Major job cuts at NASA
NASA juggles work force as it shifts focus to Mars
Some employees will lose jobs, some will be reassigned
Quote:
About one of every seven NASA workers nationwide will be transferred or paid to leave in the next 1 1/2 years as the space agency focuses on President Bush's moon-Mars exploration plan, officials said Thursday.
However, many of those who depart likely will be replaced by new workers with skills more closely aligned with the new, deep space mission.
NASA employs about 18,900 government workers.
