They're cutting some of that stuff at NASA. Does he work for the ScaN folks? That's LEGS, HDTN, CSP, NEO, TDRSS, NEN, DSN, etc. I just wonder if people who are getting their jobs cut are still gung ho for Trump.
Oh he's retired now. He worked on CloudSat (and just retired it; it served a long time to scan storms and hurricanes even after it started malfunctioning). He also worked on OCO (Orbital Carbon Observatory), and its successor, but the faring on the rocket failed to disconnect both times and it fell into the South Atlantic. Launch vehicles don't come with a warranty, I learned.
