FBI looks into dead or missing scientists tied to NASA, Blue Origin, SpaceX

The House Oversight Committee has formally demanded briefings from the FBI, Department of Energy, Department of Defense, and NASA regarding at least 11 scientists and researchers connected to NASA, nuclear research, and classified defense programs who have died or gone missing since 2022. Several were involved in space defense technologies being commercialized by SpaceX and Blue Origin, and committee members have suggested the pattern may represent a grave national security threat.
