The NASEM report warns of a potential 'hollow future' for NASA, highlighting critical underfunding and misalignment with long-term strategy, which the agency acknowledges.
The report's core findings emphasize that short-term solutions overshadow long-term planning, while bureaucracy and reliance on contracts hinder NASA's efficiency and mission success.
Lead author Norman Augustine expressed concern that increasing reliance on the private sector for space missions could diminish NASA's workforce and innovative capacity, turning it into a mere oversight body.
Augustine suggests that, while increased funding from Congress is uncertain, NASA must streamline its priorities and strategic goals for more effective resource management.
