WASHINGTON (Reuters) -NASA’s acting administrator Janet Petro said on Wednesday that Elon Musk’s government efficiency panel planned to examine the space agency’s spending, and noted hundreds of agency employees had accepted a government buyout proposal.
“We are going to have DOGE come. They’re going to look – similarly what they’ve done in other agencies – at our payments and what money has gone out,” Petro, who was previously the head of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, told reporters on the sidelines of a space industry conference in Washington.
Asked how many NASA employees accepted the Trump administration’s buyout plan, Petro said it was “hundreds.”
