Workforce Directive: Restoring NASA’s Core Competencies Background NASA’s ability to deliver on its mission has become increasingly dependent on external vendors and contractors for core functions and workforce talent—from engineering and operations to manufacturing and repair. While partnerships remain vital, this trend has eroded internal capabilities, increased program risk, reduced flexibility in addressing emergent technical challenges, and added well more than a billion dollars in annual overhead—diverting resources from science and discovery. Factors contributing to this reliance include concerns over exceeding artificial civil servant hiring ceilings, and assumptions that outsourcing would provide greater workforce flexibility. Even if these assumptions hold in some cases, the overall effect deprives NASA of critical institutional knowledge, and limits resources essential for mission success. As a result, it is not surprising that multiple programs have experienced suboptimal outcomes in cost and schedule. Multiple prime contractors, hundreds of sub-contractors, tens of thousands of contract employees, and duplicative layers of management create complexity and inefficiency. Variances in policies, tools, and systems across this spectrum further challenge budgets, timelines, and outcomes. To achieve the President’s national space policy and maintain U.S. leadership in space exploration, NASA must urgently restore and retain in-house engineering, operational, and scientific excellence, and reclaim technical autonomy. This directive establishes actions to rebuild internal talent, strengthen contractual provisions, and foster a culture of technical resilience.

My guys spent the last 70 hours working non-stop recovery ... and around 25 started registering diagnostics like you'd expect from someone spinning up an embedded emotional-feedback reconditioning Procedure. So my query to the fickle and spiteful Tech Support gods is, one, why in the name of Riemann did my SPD preferential vendor software decide to suicide over the weekend for no reason, and two, why the hell is it trying to mindfuck my tech support with what looks like a NWO memetic spell." Second text box: "connected to those Associate disappearances over the last year; a company called Neuro-Dynamic Laboratories, and something called "Project Lycaon." Team was only able to extract a fraction of data before they had to pull out, but it looks like some kind of synthetic Therianthrope! This has Genegineer written all over it. And once again, the trail leads back to holding companies marked under SPD's umbrella. This can't be a coincidence!" Third text box: "- by tageting their satellite companies, driving down their stock price and acquire a controlling interest. Need to gain access, determine how deep this goes. Keep this off the radar for as long as possible, until we know which parts of the Union have been compromised by the insurgency. Might even need to bring in external assets for deniability. They want a civil war? We'll give them one! Let me know if you're in. -Ian"
