Pilotasso Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I'm used to read the latest and greatest on space exploration at night when finally I get home some peace at night and to relax a bit but it appears NASA website is shutdown. I cant seem to get any news as to what the implications are for the current on-going programs. Curiosity mars mission has left the rover sleeping? Dawn? New horizons? Is anyone taking care of them at all? Seriously concerned they could cause damage capable of throwing us back years...

Feuerfalke Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Is there anything, that is not affected? Even Lockheed has cut work on defense programs. I know, politics are not to be discussed on the forums, but these days I wonder about the old quote: united we stand, divided we fall. :noexpression: Gigabyte GA-Z87-UD3H | i7 4470k @ 4.5 GHz | 16 GB DDR3 @ 2.133 Ghz | GTX 1080 | LG 55" @ 4K | Cougar 1000 W | Creative X-Fi Ti | TIR5 | CH HOTAS (with BU0836X-12 Bit) + Crosswind Pedals | Win10 64 HP | X-Keys Pro 20 & Pro 54 | 2x TM MFD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilotasso Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Agree, military aviation takes second place here in my book. Anything connected to government has shutdown their sites. Even satellite (sorry for pun) sites that are still up, have stopped updating. I hope ESA has taken over critical functions of on-going missions.

FanBoy2006.01 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yes. The government shut-down in the USA is extremely alarming. I was shocked to see how far reaching it is. I hope their will be a positive outcome to this whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I couldn't care less about Lockheed, but NASA shutting down the website? Wow, that is sad. :( From the NASA website: Due to the lapse in federal government funding, this website is not available. I see the whitehouse page is still up with a disclaimer on it that says the info might be out of date. Don't see why NASA couldn't have done the same and left the static content online. Talk about overkill. I can appreciate the cost of running media streams, live TV etc. and the manpower behind them but to take the whole site offline is just stupid IMO.
