NASA pierde liderazgo: Una directora científica se va. Una carta interna protesta. Y la NASA se tambalea mientras miles de empleados alistan su salidaPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoMakenzie Lystrup, astrofísica y líder del mayor centro científico de NASA, anunció su renuncia justo cuando se proponen recortes que podrían cancelar misiones, cerrar laboratorios y dejar sin empleo a miles de personas.Makenzie Lystrup, doctora en astrofísica con una carrera destacada en astronomía planetaria y gestión de tecnología espacial, ha confirmado que va a dejar la dirección del Centro de Vuelo Espacial Goddard el 1 de agosto. Este centro, ubicado en Greenbelt, Maryland, es el corazón científico de NASA: desde allí se gestionan los telescopios Hubble y James Webb, se controlan satélites que vigilan el clima, y se construyen sondas que exploran el Sistema Solar.Lystrup llevaba apenas veintiséis meses en el cargo. Su salida coincide con un plan de la administración Trump que busca recortar el presupuesto de NASA en un 25 %. La cifra pasaría de casi veinticinco mil millones de dólares a dieciocho mil ochocientos millones, es decir, unos diecisiete mil trescientos millones de euros. En medio de ese panorama, más de dos mil empleados sénior están considerando salidas anticipadas. ¿Está entrando NASA en una era de retroceso científico?Una carta llamada “Declaración Voyager” reta el plan de recortes desde dentro de NASA.El Centro Goddard se extiende como un campus tecnológico: edificios bajos conectados por senderos, grandes paneles solares, antenas parabólicas gigantes y plataformas de control de misiones. Desde allí, miles de personas trabajan todos los días en observación terrestre, exploración espacial robótica y desarrollo de instrumentos científicos para entender el universo. Fue fundado en 1959 y lleva el nombre de Robert Goddard, pionero de los cohetes espaciales.Makenzie Lystrup asumió la dirección del centro en abril de 2023. Llegó con una visión clara: liderar una nueva “Edad Dorada” de descubrimiento. Durante su gestión, Goddard participó en el regreso exitoso de muestras del asteroide Bennu gracias a la misión OSIRIS-REx; mantuvo dentro de presupuesto el desarrollo del Telescopio Espacial Nancy Grace Roman —considerado el sucesor del Hubble—; y dio inicio al diseño del Observatorio de Mundos Habitables, pensado para buscar señales de vida en planetas similares a la Tierra.Además, el centro sostuvo el funcionamiento de satélites que permiten a científicos, meteorólogos y agricultores obtener datos sobre el comportamiento del clima, la humedad del suelo, el derretimiento de glaciares y las emisiones contaminantes. Todo eso, gestionado desde una red de instalaciones coordinadas por Goddard y repartidas en diferentes estados.Pero el guion dio un giro brusco. El nuevo presupuesto federal propuesto por la Casa Blanca plantea recortar veinticinco de cada cien dólares que hoy sostienen la ciencia de NASA. En números reales: más de seis mil millones de dólares menos. Eso forzaría la cancelación de decenas de misiones espaciales y pondría en riesgo miles de empleos en ingeniería, programación, matemáticas y análisis científico.Goddard depende en un 60 % del presupuesto asignado a áreas científicas como astrofísica, estudios del Sol y exploración planetaria. Esas áreas serían las más golpeadas por el recorte. Por eso, NASA ya está ofreciendo salidas voluntarias, planes de retiro anticipado y despidos diferidos. Para muchas personas, estas medidas suenan más a advertencia que a opción.El mismo día que Lystrup comunicó su renuncia, se hizo pública una carta abierta firmada por casi trescientas personas, incluyendo a cuatro astronautas. La llamaron “Declaración Voyager”, en honor a las sondas que desde los años 70 siguen enviando datos desde los confines del sistema solar. En la carta, acusan a la actual dirección política de “desperdiciar recursos, poner en peligro la seguridad humana y debilitar el núcleo de la misión de NASA”. En redes, muchos comparan esta crisis con “The Empire Strikes Back”: la comunidad científica reorganiza su resistencia ante el “imperio del recorte”.En su carta de despedida, Makenzie Lystrup compara el trabajo en NASA con una carrera de relevos: cada quien corre su tramo y luego entrega el testigo. Ahora ella se retira a las gradas, mientras Cynthia Simmons —actual subdirectora— asume como directora interina. Simmons lleva veinticinco años en el centro y empezó como ingeniera contratista. Su desafío inmediato será mantener el entusiasmo y la productividad de equipos que ven cómo se marchan colegas, jefes y mentores.Mientras tanto, en el Congreso de Estados Unidos, comités de ambas bancadas han aprobado proyectos de ley para restaurar casi por completo el presupuesto de NASA. Pero aún falta que esos textos se voten en pleno en la Cámara de Representantes y en el Senado. Y luego deben ser firmados por el presidente. Algunos legisladores temen que la Casa Blanca intente retener los fondos usando una maniobra legal llamada “impoundment”, que le permite al poder ejecutivo no ejecutar partidas asignadas por el Congreso. Si eso ocurre, habrá una batalla legal que puede durar meses.Para la audiencia geek: esto se parece a Avengers: Endgame. Dos líneas temporales posibles: una donde la ciencia florece gracias a acuerdos políticos, y otra donde se evapora talento humano, se apagan telescopios y se cierran centros de investigación. Todo depende de lo que ocurra en las próximas semanas.– Lystrup juró su cargo en 2023 colocando la mano sobre “Pale Blue Dot”, el libro de Carl Sagan, gesto simbólico que recordó la fragilidad de nuestro planeta.– Antes de llegar a NASA, dirigió proyectos civiles en Ball Aerospace (hoy parte de BAE Systems) y coordinó programas para la Administración Oceánica y Atmosférica.– El Centro Goddard también administra Wallops (Virginia), White Sands (Nuevo México) y la base de globos científicos de Texas. Todas esas instalaciones podrían ver recortes, lo que preocupa a universidades que dependen de sus datos para investigaciones sobre clima y seguridad espacial.– La salida de Lystrup ocurre ocho semanas después de que Laurie Leshin renunciara al Jet Propulsion Laboratory tras despidos que afectaron un diez por ciento del personal debido a la incertidumbre del programa Marte Sample Return.– Si se concreta el presupuesto de dieciocho mil ochocientos millones de dólares, el recorte de seis mil millones (unos cinco mil quinientos millones de euros) superaría el costo anual combinado de misiones como el observatorio de rayos X IXPE y la sonda Parker Solar Probe.La renuncia de Makenzie Lystrup destapa la tensión dentro de NASA por recortes del veinticinco por ciento que podrían frenar exploraciones futuras. Vamos a seguir la votación presupuestal y el efecto en Goddard. Cuéntame qué opinas y acompáñame cada día: Flash Diario.Lystrup deja Goddard; carta Voyager exige frenar recortes del 25 % que amenazan misiones, empleos y futuro de NASA.

Hallie Linden yearns to write for the New York Times. At the moment, she's stuck at a daily newspaper in tiny Green Meadow, Indiana, a town known for its amusement park and nothing else. It's 1989, and juicy reporting jobs are hard to find. She resolves to work hard, win a few awards, and then welcome the job offers.In this edition of Madison Book Beat, host David Ahrens speaks with Cynthia Simmons. She's author of a recent novel called Wrong Kind of Paper, the story of a young reporter in a small town who resists the corporate journalist demand to avoid “controversy.”The novel unexpectedly turns into a two track thriller — one uncovering the deadly corruption and the other is the fight to get the story published.Before her career as a reporter, novelist and professor of media law, Cynthia Simmons was the News Director of WORT-FM. Since then, she's held numerous prestigious reporting positions, and is now the Associate Teaching Professor at Penn State, where she teaches mass media law.In this interview, she also shares with Ahrens the special contribution of listener-supported radio by providing the information necessary for a democracy to function.

What does a good church look like? That's what Cindy and I discuss, among other myriad of topics from a bit of purity culture to complementarianism(the idea women can't be pastors).

Cynthia Simmons plunges right into her story with the first few seconds of this episode. After being a delayed dreamer, she has been seriously pursuing her dream as a published author since 2004 or 2005. (After a while, you just lose track of time.) Through humor and reflective insights, she shares several valuable lessons that can help any of us, no matter what dream we want to tend.   Cynthia’s interest in writing first blossomed in childhood, when she was eight or nine and wrote a story about some blue flowers. But when her brother saw it, he called her story silly, and she immediately put her pen down, thinking, I write silly, so I’m not going to do that again. All it had taken was one sentence from one person who didn’t realize the lasting impact their words would make, to nearly destroy Cynthia’s dream.  She did not pick that pen up again until decades later, when her children began leaving home. It was then, Cynthia finally decided to lay the stigma from that single statement aside, and to stop letting it squelch a desire that never entirely went away.   Cynthia’s current book, Pursuing Gold, was born from her love of history and finance. This mystery about a confederate bank during the civil war, is not only fascinating, but can teach you much about what our ancestors did with money and why.    We can all learn from the loss of time that nearly halted Cynthia’s dream. One negative sentence or question can steal our confidence, our hope, and our willingness to try. Remember that word resolve we’ve talked about in past episodes? Do not allow anyone to steal your boldness, your faith, or your decision to act.   Cynthia and I explored some of the reasons others might unknowingly undermine your dream. We came up with a few possibilities. It’s not their dream, so they don’t understand your interest. It’s not the way they would go about it—how you are pursuing your desires and goals.   They can’t see you in that role, considering your current situation.  Perhaps someone has squelched their dreams, and have influenced them negatively, so they subconsciously pass doomsday predictions or discouraging questions on.  Often, they have no idea you’ve had these interests, because you haven’t shared them before. Your expression blindsides them, and they react without having time to process or think. Another person’s opinion is not typically based on fact, but on emotions like fear, jealousy, anxiety, confusion, etc. And even if they have facts to back up their ideas, many a determined dreamer has done far more than most would suppose or circumstances would assume. A dream tender does not let someone else decide their path.   I asked Cynthia, “How have you supported your dreams along the way?” Again, her insights proved helpful. She educated herself on how to write professionally.  She learned how to write to her audience—in a way THEY could connect to. Realized there were things she assumed she knew, but found out new or revised information by being open to it.  Joined others with similar dreams, she got connected with like-minded people. (In her case, writer’s groups.) Practiced and honed her skills daily. She invested the time to learn the process and how to do it well.  Filling Needs: Do you dare give yourself the label associated with your dream? Do you call it before others see it? Are you supporting your dreams on a daily basis? How?  What did you do with your imagination as a child? What did you do with your playtime? Are your dreams grounded in those moments—there all along, though you didn't see them? If Cynthia could go back in time, she would tell herself, “You can do this.”  Cynthia’s advice to fellow dream tenders is, “Don’t give up!” This simple encouragement is deeply profound—and will hopefully offset any negative statements or discouraging questions presented to you in the past.   This episode’s Dream Planting Tips: Let people see who you truly are. People support those they know.  Step out in faith, give voice to your dream—call yourself what you wish to become.  Criticism is hard, understand that sometimes you have to choose to face it when you are in the right mood or emotional state, so you can better absorb it and use it to improve, or decide if it has merit. Allow humility to benefit you by having a teachable spirit. Use wisdom when listening to the other person’s opinion, whether positive or negative, and weigh it out to see whether it makes sense to allow it to take space in your mind. You don’t want to let negativity hold you back, nor do you want positivity to cause your ego to grow out of bounds. Practice and hone your skills daily, even when you don’t feel you can do as much as you’d like. Think about the people you want to reach or who will be impacted by your dream(s), and make it your mission to connect with them in a way they can relate to.  Invest the time necessary—however much it takes.  If someone else has doused your dream, decide today to allow it no more.
