Job losses in NASA

Crushing. For all those people to lose their jobs. But, things happen.
 
Is anyone expecting a hiring boom in SpaceX and Virgin Galactic? ;)


All of the new startups are hiring, I really wish I was a rocket engineer. If the next Falcon 1 launch is successful, SpaceX should really be promising and Burt Rutan is looking for a few good men. If he is successful with Space Ship Two, he says his next ship will be orbital.
 
To be honest the shuttle programme was overmanned anyway. That's the thing about government spaceflight, you always seem to end up with at least 2 people doing every job.
 
Was that a good thing or bad thing?

But you do need that many with such a complexe piece of machinery a second look can't hurt. Remember they have a Very small margine of error
