The primary contractor for the Space Launch System rocket, Boeing, is preparing for the possibility that NASA cancels the long-running program.
On Friday, with less than an hour’s notice, David Dutcher, Boeing’s vice president and program manager for the SLS rocket, scheduled an all-hands meeting for the approximately 800 employees working on the program. The apparently scripted meeting lasted just six minutes, and Dutcher didn’t take questions.
Here it comes, the big payoff. Elon’s lost the Tesla EV subsidies but will instead get the NASA contacts
This timing is suspicious/convenient, but I can’t pretend SLS was some well managed project or necessary to propel the future of space exploration. This rocket was a bust even before president elon was involved, it was only a matter of time before it got dragged behind the barn.
My thoughts exactly. SLS has been a train wreck, but we all know the real reason it’s coming now.
Yea doing the right the thing for the wrong reason is unfortunately the only way things get done in america since forever.
While I’d love to just nationalize space-x that isn’t even in the zeitgeist yet and Boeing has to be destroyed before such a thing is possible.
Lonny at work for sure. Next all government agents will be required to use X for chat with Starlink internet. He really wants his money back from that stupid deal.
I work on Artemis. Will be real bummed if I have to find a new job. Hope they replace it with something that isn’t just SpaceX
Creating a monopoly for SpaceX. Monopolies really are the best way to amass wealth.
If only there were some sort of anti capitalism board game to show how much monopolies sucked. Then maybe we’d get it.
We just need one that doesn’t suck giant donkey balls.
Good.
