We recently shared with you that Elon Musk’s playing an important role in the administration of Donald Trump caused a major crisis in NASA. Because Elon Musk, who was equipped with many powers by Donald Trump, had suddenly had a say as much as NASA in the US space program. This was expected to cause many changes in America’s space projects. As a matter of fact, we started to see the first signs of this.

Years later, NASA, who was preparing to organize a manned duty for the Moon again, started the Artemis Project for this purpose and made a significant investment in this project. An important part of this investment went to the rocket called Space Launch Systems (SLS), which will carry the astronauts of Artemis into space. However, the possibility of all these efforts and investments will be wasted now. Boeing, one of the companies involved in the development of SLS, contacted its employees and informed them that they could be unemployed in the coming days.

Boeing is waiting for collective layoffs in the coming weeks

Speaking to The Register, Boeing Spokesman said, “In order to keep up with the revisions in the Artemis program, we informed our employees in the Space Launch Systems (SLS) project that 400 people could leave the team as of April,” The said. Complaints such as Boeing need to inform their employees to their employees days ago. Therefore, this explanation can be considered as an announcement of a dismissal rather than sharing a possibility.

The fact that Boeing’s 400 personnel in this project will lose their job does not mean that the SLS project will be shelved. However, both Elon Musk’s statements about the issue, as well as those who have been spoken in the backstage in recent days, hundreds of millions of dollars spent on the shelf of the SLS shows that it is seriously on the agenda. Because Elon Musk says that the Artemis project is a waste of time and that they should turn all focus into Mars. Now it will not be a surprise that NASA has fell into her.
