I worked on the space program for a few years. Massive fraud that was carried out with an audacity that would make Boss Hogg blush. When I initially complained, my boss told me that NASA was "a middle class welfare program" and that I shouldn't take it so seriously. Eventually, I reached a point where I just couldn't sign off on purchasing equipment for testing an item that simply didn't exist. I was working 60 hours a week for low pay doing the work that had been reported to have been done years beforehand and just couldn't do it any more. After taking two systems from months/years behind schedule to months ahead, I was fired. No discussion, no debate, no warnings, no notifications. They lied to the Texas Workforce commission and said that I was warned and got caught. TWC refused to do anything about it. NASA inspector general found that everything that I said was true, but that me being fired was not something they would handle. There is no wrongful termination in Texas. A decade later, the project(s) I was working on at the time was finally moved from the contractor to government funded equipment - meaning the government was going to have to do what the contractors were originally paid to do. No one cares.
