NASA contractors face scrutiny after scientist deaths

Fortune says the FBI is looking into a string of dead or missing scientists connected to NASA, Blue Origin, and SpaceX, which is a pretty wild turn for a tech story.

wait, this headline reads like a fog machine — “connected to NASA/SpaceX/Blue Origin” is doing a ton of work, and half the time that just means “worked for a contractor that once touched a program.”

the part that sticks for me is congress only poking at it years later. even if every case ends up unrelated, that delay is bleak.
