Wow. Though I shouldn’t be surprised the program funneling money to Musk is getting a budget bump, I find myself put off by the callous (almost careless!) admission of the program director that this is the case.
Eh. Pretty much just keeping people calm on a program that sounds mostly safe. I will be interested to see what JSC’s reaction will be to a budget proposal that would essentially scuttle their HSF footprint. Thanks for the audio!
JSC does have Ted Cruz on their cheering squad, so I bet they do well. Others like Senator Chris Van Hollen decided to meet MS-13 gang member Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. He will be fighting for Goddard and with those very poor optics, they probably won’t take him seriously.
Last I heard, the Constitution says due process for EVERYONE. But that’s for another website…
Here’s my question, why post this? These are meetings where management is trying to communicate to help their people and assuming there’s some discretion. Whoever recorded it as a participant – it’s shameful and to see it posted is worse.
If you do not want to see things like this then stop reading NASAWatch. Its has been standard content here for 30 years.
I would like to wish the HLS team, Blue Origin/NASA, the best of luck getting all this together.
