  • A new letter addressed to acting NASA chief Janet Petro calls out the space agency for failing to answer questions raised by lawmakers earlier this month.

House Democrats have expressed significant concerns regarding a potential conflict of interest involving NASA's leadership and a company named Doge-1, which is set to launch a satellite mission. The worry stems from the fact that NASA Administrator Bill Nelson's son, who works for the company, could benefit from the mission. This situation has raised flags about impartiality and the integrity of decision-making processes at NASA. The mission, named Doge-1, is a unique endeavor as it aims to be the first satellite paid for entirely in cryptocurrency, Dogecoin, and is scheduled to launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The Democrats are calling for a thorough investigation to ensure that no undue influence or favoritism is at play, emphasizing the need for transparency and adherence to ethical standards in government operations.
