There would be no hiring away. That's not how the government works. They'd contract the private companies the engineers already work at.
- valuearb 9y agoIf NASA hires a bunch of private companies to build the subsystems for the SLS, they are hiring engineers away from Blue Origin, SpaceX, ULA, etc. Those engineers may not work for NASA, or have worked at SpaceX, etc, but it's the same end. And the SLS is a boondoggle, so the efforts of those engineers will be totally wasted.
