Not sure how I answered your question, Trent, but ok.

What difference does it really make what contractor I worked for? It’s irrelevant really.

I was just expressing how what I was asked to do while employed seemed relevant to the blog.

Just T, you basically answered my question, thanks.

But in general, people who are unwilling to sign their name really shouldn’t make claims about what they are, as there is no way we can verify those claims.

This whole thing is turning into one big ugly mess and is ruining peopleâ€™s lives…

economic change is messy…the notion of space policy should be to do what is best for The Republic not simply keep people employeed in techno welfare.

Thanks for bringing some “human reality” to the debate. It might not help very much but best wishes for the future.

@ Just T
Hope your doing well, and have something lined up; my thoughts are with all the people who are being messed around with the politics that surround this issue; saw the same thing happen 52 years ago, in Canada, with their Gov’t Aerospace Industry, and it never recovered;

Nope, I’m not that foolish.. hence the reason for the code screen name

I will say I worked for a subcontractor. Was working at NASA for 4 years.

@ Trent Waddington,
if Just T. gives you that information, he might as well, sign his full name and address; I truly hope he is NOT that foolish;

Just T, not that I don’t believe you, but for which contractor did you work?

Outside the NASA cocoon in the real world, if you publicly criticize your boss you get fired.

It’s amazing to me how big a disconnect there is between NASA employees/government contractors and reality.

This is very interesting. I was laid off about 2 weeks ago from NASA. I worked on the Ares rockets. Ironically a few weeks prior I was asked to scan some emails from Jeff Hanley to several people within the Program. I was asked to mark the emails as sensitive but unclassified. Now that I see this blog post it makes me think of those emails that I scanned.

This whole thing is turning into one big ugly mess and is ruining people’s lives.
