Looks like the pink slips are going to be flying fast and furious at NASA/JSC contractors. The government workers will be spared, doing their usual "nothing" except soaking up tax dollars.

REPLANNING

Yesterday I listened to a 2 hour presentation by a NASA geru. They don’t call them accidents, they call them....... because they don’t want people to think they are not preventable.

They don’t call them layoffs because that is what they are, REPLANNING.

You don’t call a MUSLIM lying TRAITOR a traitor because he was elected FRAUDULENTLY by liars in the press.

Americans are stupid whether they work for NASA or read the newspaper.

No problem - they can get census worker jobs - three or four times - and boost employment numbers.

BO’s/BS’s scheme of transferring wealth from the private sector to the federal government is going according to plan.

‘Americans are stupid whether they work for NASA or read the newspaper.”

So which one of America’s enemies do you support?

Yeah, I work for a contractor and I’ve been seeing this nice new little euphemism “replan” being tossed around by the powers-that-be to try and not make the cuts and cancellations sound so bad. Pretty weak stuff. Expect even more job losses in FY 2011.

This is going to be a difficult time for the JSC Team. I encourage you to reach out and support one another during this process.

It has been a difficult time for NASA as a whole for a decade or more. As our debt approaches 100% of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the predictable will happen.

Politicians, especially Democrats, have little use for R&D programs unless they show results in time for elections, and the results can be connected to actions by Democrats.

The Democrats tolerated NASA as long as there was adequate discretionary spending monies available. As this source of funding dries up owing to entitlement programs, the NASA budget follows.

Our political leaders believe that it is more important to put poor people into houses, to give free prescription drugs to everyone, and to provide free health care so we can be more like Cuba. But what kind of space program does Cuba have, and other Communist/Socialist countries?

NASA Houston Chief: “This is Going to be a Difficult Time”

I know a good engineer at NASA via my brother.
Sadly, I’m just about 95% sure this NASA engineer voted for “The Messiah”.

Now this engineer will probably realize that “voting your conscience”
is gonna’ be a BEOTCH.
Especially when voting for a Communist/Socialist that did a great job
of disguising himself as “a moderate Democrat”.

doing their usual “nothing” except soaking up tax dollars.

Bailout for guvmint workers.
NO Bailot for the private sector.

I guess private sector workers in the Space bidness are less worthy
than those in the auto bidness (GM, Chrysler).

Guvmint picking winners and losers once again.

Good. The federal government has no more business running a space transportation system than it has running a railroad.

NASA... Then Continental/United merger moving to Chicago, now the Moratorium on Oil Drilling.

Obama is out to destroy the prosperous state that is Texas...
