  • 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 issue centers around NASA Administrator Bill Nelson and his son, who is a lobbyist for the company. The mission, named Doge-1, is a unique project where the satellite will display advertisements in space, including a Dogecoin logo, and is funded by Dogecoin cryptocurrency. The Democrats are worried that this familial connection could compromise the integrity of NASA's decision-making processes, especially given the agency's involvement in approving and overseeing such missions. They have called for an investigation to ensure that no undue influence or favoritism is at play, highlighting the need for transparency and ethical conduct in government operations.
