Yes lets start tracking what the space industry is employing. Since presidential helicopter was costing to much so they put a hold on and told 200 people to go find work elsewhere (just one location) and they are just now getting ready to get back on track with less people working on the project since they scaled back because of cost. Only took 6 months to figure out what they wanted to do.

I suspect your basic assumption that 1500 people did not work on this project, is probably not correct. If one where to start tracking how many contractors and subcontractors and sub-subcontractors, etc received work from this, or any other, space program, you are going to come up with way more then 1500 people who receive their income from these projects. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
