Fund #NASA and the #JetPropulsionLab and not #SpaceEx. Trust the experts and not the scammers.
Another rocket failure from #SpaceEx and #Musk. This money would have been much better spent on the #JPL, the #JetPropulsionLab. Why is JPL not getting funding and laying off its talented workforce when #Musk is getting government funds and wasting it??? It’s a scandal.
Diana Trujillo (b. 1983) is a Colombian American aerospace engineer. Born in Cali, Colombia, she immigrated to the U.S. at 17 with only $300, determined to overcome her family's economic struggles and pursue a career in aerospace. While working various jobs, Trujillo studied English and enrolled at the University of Florida for aerospace engineering, then became the first Hispanic immigrant woman admitted to the NASA Academy. This led her to the University of Maryland, where she joined a robotics research team and earned her B.S. in aerospace engineering in 2007. Trujillo joined NASA in 2008 and has played key roles in space exploration, including serving as flight director for the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover's robotic arm. In February 2021, she hosted NASA's first Spanish-language planetary landing show, expanding access to Spanish-speaking audiences. Her accolades include being named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in 2021.
