Boeing Warns Moon Rocket Program Employees of Layoffs

Boeing’s 93-Billion Dollar Scam End’s

Boeing warned on Saturday of layoffs in its Space Launch System
moon rocket program, saying it expects to have about 400 fewer positions
in line with revisions to NASA’s Artemis program and cost expectations.

The Seattle-based aerospace manufacturer said it will issue 60-day notices
of involuntary layoffs to the affected employees in the coming weeks.

“We are working with our customer and seeking opportunities to redeploy
employees across our company to minimize job losses,”
a Boeing spokesperson said via email.

The Artemis program, which is estimated to cost $93 billion through 2025,
was established by the U.S. space agency during the first administration
of President Donald Trump.
It represents the flagship American effort to return astronauts to the moon
for the first time since NASA’s Apollo 17 mission.

Another OIG report released in August 2024 criticized “Boeing’s ineffective quality management and inexperienced young workforce, continued cost increases and schedule delays, and the delayed establishment of a cost and schedule baseline,” regarding the SLS rocket’s Exploration Upper Stage. The upper stage was scheduled to be delivered to NASA in early 2021 but its development is now projected to be complete no earlier than 2027.

Another case of Boeing's decision to push out older experienced employees has been a major mistake.

Watchdog panel’s annual NASA safety report reveals
new Boeing Starliner issue, questions viable future of
Boeing’s cartoon spacecraft.

The Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP),
Headliner was Boeing’s first crewed flight of its long-delayed
CST-100 Starliner spacecraft, which suffered helium leaks and thruster
failures on its propulsion system on its way up to the ISS.
That led a months-long saga that ultimately saw Starliner leave its two
NASA astronauts behind on the station because of the risk of flying
them home.

The ASAP report commended NASA’s call to favor astronaut safety,
but as an observer during the sundry meetings leading up to the decision,
it warned NASA needs to better define who is in charge.
