I mean the first part about scrapping the Ares IX makes sense if it's impossible to dev the Ares V in a reasonable amount of time even with a shakey modest boost in budget. <br /><br />The second part about what do you guys think you're going to do when we have to close shop seems way off character. And Bolden has to know there are options that allow NASA not to shed jobs while still relying more on commercial LEO. <br /><br />Is this a joke ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673435362400368888.post-39295158478853174422009-08-21T04:31:57.594-07:002009-08-21T04:31:57.594-07:00It is about time.

So, thanks for putting heart and soul into this project and by the way, take the rest of your life off. The job is over. There is no follow-on project. We don't need you anymore. Roll up your drawings, pack your things, you're outta here.<br /><br />Did the band leader just give us a glimpse of his marching orders?<br /><br />Is this just part of the natural ebb and flow of this industry? <br /><br />Will the next generation of engineers and scientists be smart enough to avoid this trap when it reappears twenty years from now? Or has the third oscillation dampened out enough that a fourth will be nothing but a collection of white papers and PowerPoint presentations?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
