Hi, I'm Joe Wiley. And I'm Soie Ball. And we're here to tell you about a brand new podcast, Digit.

discovery. Right now, space engineering has to concern itself with layoffs. I mentioned that

It's around the world.

Now we come to NASA,

and the budget proposed by the Trump administration,

out of 17,000 employees.
