Eminent officials say NASA facilities some of the “worst” they’ve ever seen
Buildings at Johnson Space Center in Houston are among the worst at any NASA facility.
A panel of independent experts reported this week that NASA lacks funding to maintain most of its decades-old facilities, could lose its engineering prowess to the commercial space industry, and has a shortsighted roadmap for technology development.
"NASA’s problem is it always seems to have $3 billion more program than it has of funds," said Norm Augustine, chair of the National Academies panel chartered to examine the critical facilities, workforce, and technology needed to achieve NASA's long-term strategic goals and objectives. Augustine said a similar statement could sum up two previous high-level reviews of NASA's space programs that he chaired in 1990 and 2009. But the report released Tuesday put NASA's predicament in stark terms.

Everything the government does, fails.
Just too many hands out collecting for doing no work.

That spacecraft as well as the Space Launch System (SLS) are nothing more than Boeing's ticket to the federal meal trough. Boeing has been run into the ground (no pun) by a bunch of Jack Welch clones that have done to Boeing what Welch did to GE.....ruin it.
I read once back in the 80s that the Soviet Union was a third world country that made good rockets. The USA these days? Third world that makes an occasional good cheeseburger, provided you look hard enough and open your wallet
Welch took over GE when it was near bankruptcy. Jack the Knife cut a huge amount of stuff, rebuilt it into a major dynamo, and left it in good shape.
It was Jeffrey Immelt has nearly destroyed it.
Last time they had a strike …… 2008…..middle of the financial crisis. A history of bad timing.
NASA, Lockheed, and ESA are producing the Orion capsules for the Artemis program. SpaceX and Boeing are part of the Commercial Crew program.
If financial prowess through leasing etc., i.e. banking, is your thing then yes he rebuilt it. Then there is the "shoot the bottom 10 % of management annually". This created fear of failure and I'm of the opinion that fear of failure in the workplace is a major flaw that can destroy a company by stifling risk and innovation. That was Welch's forte
False. Boeing's problems had nothing to do with cost cutting. Actually the opposite. Boeing expanded and added the 737Max which crashed.
CEO has been there a month. If you want accountability then you got it. The last CEO is gone.
Should the engineers and factory workers who built the 737Max that crashed be held accountable too?
What?
You just saying so doesn't make it true.
It is well known that Boeing has cut costs in development by outsourcing more of it to contractors and doing less rigorous real world testing; of course, no surprise that when things are developed by all these different companies that when they are finally put together, not all the parts fit or work well with each other.
Boeing also stated that pilots didn't need (simulator) training for the 737Max.
Must have been pretty bad to get rid of someone who checks off so many DIE boxes.
Why does that woman astronaut have such and long and wild hair? That can't be practical or safe. How can she get a helmet on safely or seriously do experiment's? Plus if I were one of the other astronauts I wouldn't want that mop flying in my face.
