News NASA engineer says white men did the grunt work while DEI hires got the careers… lawsuit incoming?
2026-08-27
[Revolver] NASA is supposed to be where America sends brilliant engineers to solve problems the rest of us can barely understand.

One engineer who worked on the Orion space program says the harder problem inside that world was way more basic than that. The burning question is, who actually gets a career and who is stuck in "grunt work" mode?

Joshua Foxworth was an aerospace engineer who worked on Orion, and he’s making an explosive allegation about what he says he saw firsthand.

According to Foxworth, white male engineers were pushed into temporary or subcontractor "grunt" roles where they handled the technical work but had lousy job security and no way to move up.

He had better jobs with career paths for the DEI employees working directly for the big contractors.

Foxworth says race and sex were absolutely part of the equation.

And that is illegal discrimination.

This is the X post that got this whole story moving.

Foxworth says white men were disproportionately the ones getting stuck in the dead-end grunt work.
