The alignment would only depend on Earth’s axial tilt which currently is 23.4°. 5,000 years ago it was 24.0° and in 5,000 it will be 22.9° which seem well within engineering tolerances for a neolithic structure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipti...

I recall seeing a segment on CBS’ “60 Minutes” decades ago about how Rockwell used the Space Shuttle program as a slush fund to cover B1-B cost overruns so I wouldn’t be surprised if Boeing is doing the same thing by charging unrelated work to Orion. No one is checking where every dollar goes.
