On Friday, with less than an hour's notice, David Dutcher, Boeing's vice president and program manager for the SLS rocket, scheduled an all-hands meeting for the approximately 800 employees working on the program. The apparently scripted meeting lasted just six minutes, and Dutcher didn't take questions."

NASA personnel were told to “drop everything” to scrub public sites of mentions of DEI, indigenous people, environmental justice, and women in leadership, according to a directive obtained by 404 Media."

Not much better at the National Science Foundation:

From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

NASA employees are being required to strip all pronouns from emails and other applications, according to an all-staff email seen by NPR.

The unsigned email came in response to several executive orders, including one called "Defending women from gender ideology and extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government."

What kind of woke crap is that?

Cults don't want freedom and they don't need science.

It's a purge, of a kind.

Stalin did a purge (involving lots of deaths). So did Hitler (ditto). They can't really do lots of deaths in the USA (yet), but they can suppress information and research. Which is what they're doing.

Putin should make sure to put a spy or two more at NASA.

Have one of Elon's engineers re-bug the place too.

Better Red than - Red White and Blue.
