I'd love to read some specifics. NASA has a lot of unique facilities that plenty of their programs and private companies rely on, but I wonder if there are some buildings, test stands, or even entire facilities that should be mothballed. For example, if SLS ever winds down, I'm guessing a lot of money could be saved at Michoud, which seems to take a hurricane hit all too often, and Stennis, which has some incredible old Apollo test stands that look like they want the sweet release of the scrap heap.
