NASA TV was broadcasting a "shutdown" graphic in minutes. Tweets and blogs prohibited. Its not possible to keep the public websites up, but it is possible to maintain a page that says the site can't be used? Last week (during the 17% shutdown), I could access bookmarked pages. Now, those direct links have been hunted down and blocked. Due to lack of budget? Really? It all seems quite odd. Hope we get at least some of NASA back someday, and can use their website without a "subscription" or filling out an 8 page "subscriber application".

Sorry Sparky. You are looking at the shutdown. Most of the federal government is shutdown, including my own agency the CDC, as well as the FAA, the FDA, NASA, NOAA... the whole alphabet soup. We all put our websites on ice (which takes just a few minutes) and went home, as ordered. Email responses and voice mail temporary greetings all say the same thing - Owing to a lack of a federal budget, we are unable to function. That means almost all the IT folks, communicators, scientists and engineers and administrators and inspectors are furloughed. The criteria we were given to decide who should still come to work was this: Would that person coming to work prevent an imminent threat to life. Everyone traveling almost everywhere (except the ISS) was recalled home Oct 1. Now, thousands of bad knock-on effects are starting that you might not have predicted. For example the Coast Guard is no longer bringing fuel to the McMurdo Station research base in Antarctica, so the entire season of research there is now being cancelled (even though it was already funded last summer). All the research ships that Scripps Institute uses to do oceanography are headed back to San Diego to be mothballed until there is a federal budget, so they are not going to do any oceanography for a while. Today is day 15 of unpaid furlough for all us pointy headed federales, all of whom think what we do actually makes life better, safer, and are eagerly waiting for this to be resolved.
