[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saw this directly from Trump not doge https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-challenges-union-deal-remote-work-policies-federal-workers/#

I am not union so no lawsuits to drag out - just a remote employee with stellar performance. Besides looking for jobs in private sector what else can I do? Have been a remote employee since pre pandemic. You all have been sane in your commentary about doge but it seems that all hope is lost with it coming from Trump now. I really love my job and I’d move back if it wasn’t for my kids and schools. [/quote]

Elon’s going to find out pretty quickly that sending people to Mars will be so much easier than sending them back to their desks. [/quote]

Sending people to Mars is going to be quite the challenge when all the retirement-eligible people at NASA quit if they have to go in 5 days per week.[/quote]

Why do we need NASA when we have SpaceX?[/quote]

SpaceX and NASA aren’t competitors. NASA is an anchor client for SpaceX. Also, do you like things like weather satellites? That’s NASA. Want to pay a subscriber fee for hurricane warnings instead?[/quote]

Weather satellites are actually DoD and NOAA.  NASA usually runs climate satellites and of course space telescopes which everyone loves.  I doubt SpaceX has any interest in astronomy or Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem type missions.  NASA is about basic science and research; day to day is more domain of other agencies.[/quote]

Perfect example of people knowing a little bit and thinking they are experts.
Yes, NOAA OPERATES the weather satellites. [b] Guess who designs and builds them - that's right, NASA.[/b]

And as a PP said, without NASA SpaceX wouldn't have anyone to sell their products to.  Nearly all of SpaceX launches are to support the US government.[/quote]

It goes deeper in that NOAA operates the GOES weather satellites, but NASA oversees the design and manufacture.  The actual build is contracted out to the likes of Lockheed Martin.[/quote]
