Wow hearing reports that Doug Loverro is out at NASA. More TK...
I have heard the same.
What’s the context of this? In what way was he controversial or whatever that everyone seems to think it’s notable and/or suspicious or whatever?
NASA HEOMD AA @DouglasLoverro was asked to resign and he has agreed to do so. Details to follow.

(TM)
Also hearing this, and that Ken Bowersox will replace Loverro as acting HEO AA.

(TM)I doubt it. Everyone in NASA knows 2024 is not realistic, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t shoot for it anyway.Could it be because of the non-selection of Boeing for HLS? Old guard national security space person skeptical of commercial approach?
The risks we take, whether technical, political, or personal, all have potential consequences if we judge them incorrectly. I took such a risk earlier in the year because I judged it necessary to fulfill our mission. Now, over the balance of time, it is clear that I made a mistake in that choice for which I alone must bear the consequences.
My leaving is because of my personal actions, not anything we have accomplished together.

Well @VP Pence told @JimBridenstine and @NASA to land on the Moon by 2024 "By any means necessary". So @DouglasLoverro did and the powers that be got nervous. So he is gone. So much for the whole #Artemis #Moon2024 thing. #NASA no longer takes risks. #DinosaursDontExplore
Looks like @NASA Inspector General & the Office of General Counsel at #NASA HQ had issues with how the HLS procurement went - even though everyone at @NASA HEOMD knew exactly how it was happening for months. So, of course, there needs to be a designated scapegoat #ArtemisIsToast
