So NASA prepares for another Lunar Mission, while Space X prepares to go to Mars. Seems like someone missed the boat.

I don't think creating a new office in government is how you streamline gov hiring. I agree that change is needed but I don't see this new WH Admin creating that office when the functions you list are already done or can e be done by existing infrastructure within OPM and the respective agencies hiring with the Gov. Creating new offices/agencies seems to go against what DOGE is trying to do by trimming/reducing. The goal is to improve and sharpen what we have while reducing surface area while also reducing overall cost in the process.

Regarding pay there are different pay bands beyond GS. Before we create a new pay band verify there already isn't one that applies. Another option would just pay a higher GS grade for a specific position. At the end of the day let's review what we have before creating more. Pay should reflect talent and ability and that is most likely possible with the current system.

I'm not sure we need another government agency to implement this vision. I support DOGE because it will pay for itself as it trims the fat from the federal government. The problem is not that we don't have enough government... it's that we have too much government! Instead of adding another layer of government for this initiative, why not remove all the job killing regulation that stifles innovation, and give incentives for business to invest in R&D. Right now our business climate is like a driver with one foot on the gas and the other pushing just as hard on the brakes. If you lift your foot off the brakes, things will naturally progress.
