<p>Indeed, this is a blow to all of us who have been waiting to hear back for NASA opportunities.</p>
<p>The effects and implications of these budget cuts towards all education and public outreach programs will be adverse, not only to us who wish to become involved in STEM opportunities associated with NASA but also those who manage them, i.e. the employees, contractors, etc.</p>
<p>What kinds of projects does anyone think are deemed ‘critical’? I’m a little worried that those I applied for will hold little to no importance towards future progress of NASA missions/objectives.</p>
<p>Can this also mean that applying through OSSI was obsolete? How many of you actually have had applied-for-opportunities that have become filled?</p>
