In yet another move to distract from the Epstein files the US administration has ordered NASA to shut down the library at Goddard.
Today.

And some of you still say that the POTUS is good for the USA.
Russian trolls what he and his administration are. Or Useful Idiots, no real difference is there?
I don't know what no one else has mentioned it here - we are supposed to be space fanatics here!

But nothing new about NASA, I once did read all papers from the moonlanding projects were gone somehow too.
So they have not been able to go to the moon ever since!

I was going to think about the Epstein files today but my attention has been consumed by NASA's library instead. Can't they move the material to the Smithsonian?

I guess NASA doesn’t need it now that Italian submarines can reach Mars in
4 days?

"That claim seems to contradict the NYT" is hilarious.
But cutting the NASA budget in half is a good start.

I'd just about got all of those ghastly images of Bill Clinton in various states of undress in the Epstein files out of my head when some dumb Canuck had to go and make me relive the trauma.

Hopefully the half now devoted to climate propaganda.

It's amazing how a few micrograms of male hormone will shut off a guy's brain.

It's not actually propaganda - just factual information. Cursitor Doom doesn't know enough to understand what the facts mean, and is gullible enough to believe the fossil carbon industry propaganda (which he doesn't see as propaganda).
He thinks his 1890's measures of the 1890 CO2 levels - by wet chemistry done in labs heated by coal fires in cities heated the same way, have the same weight as Charles Keelings automated CO2 level measurements done by IR absorbtion at the top of Manu Loa, which started in 1958, after IR absorbtion machines had gone into commercial production.
The first non-dispersive CO2 gas monitor dates back to a about 1943, but it took a while for them to become commercially available.
He misses the point that Charles Keeling started off doing his measurements in an urban environment, but found out that local CO2 emissions made the results erratic, and had to take his gear to the top of Manu Loa to get consistent results that could be relied on.

An AI just told me that:
"... NASA is conducting a 60-day review of the [Goddard library] collection. Historically significant or valuable materials will be prioritized for digitization, transfer to other federal repositories, or long-term storage, while redundant or outdated items may be disposed of per federal guidelines."
I've visited this library somewhat recently. It was the size and demeanor of a large airy public library circa 1990. I don't recall any patrons other than me and my colleagues who were just killing some time between meetings.

That seems to be the norm for most "dead tree repositories", lately.
If the material was available on-line, I suspect more use would be made of it.

I emailed the SciFraud LISTSERV with Subject: [SCIFRAUD] "As a government employee, you can't testify against the government" and with Body -
"The issue of "The International Herald Tribune" (global "New-York Times") dated April 3rd, 2013 had an article by Justin Gillis entitled "Maverick scientist quits NASA for the planet"."

Trump administration clamped down on Smithsonian. They were required to remove what Trump administration deemed DEI and to remove mentions of his impeachment evident in any displays.
So, I doubt it.
Unless someone offers Trump some sort of payment for his ballroom, his legal fees, etc..
