Thousands of federal employees across the government have been dismissed in ongoing mass layoffs since last Thursday .

NASA is preparing to "initiate large-scale reductions in force" this week to comply with a U.S. executive order issued by President Donald Trump .

If carried out, the mass layoffs would cut NASA 's workforce by 10% and mark the largest involuntary workforce reduction at the agency since the Apollo program in 1972 .

The Planetary Society has condemned the dismantling of DEI programs and ongoing reductions in the federal workforce.

NASA itself has not yet made any official statements about the recent changes.

Since Feb. 14 , "inclusion" is once again listed as one of its core values on its webpage.

Over 700 agency employees have accepted the "fork in the road" government buyout proposal.
