If the US government shuts down, kiss NASA (and others) goodbye
http://gizmodo.com/how-a-government-shutdown-would-affect-science-and-tech-1426859370?utm_campaign=socialflow_gizmodo_facebook&utm_source=gizmodo_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
[quote]The country's space agency almost always gets hit hard in situations like this. Should the shutdown take effect, pretty much all of NASA will be shut down, so you can kiss the possibility of more mind-blowing water discoveries away. Mission Control in Houston, however, will stay up and running to keep our astronauts on the International Space Station in good shape. That's fewer than 600 or the agency's 18,000 employees, though, so it's hardly a consolation.[/quote]
Other organizations that would be affected by a government shut down:
[b]-National Institute of Health[/b] (would be hit hard, but not entirely crippled)
[b]-National Science Foundation[/b] (no payments during a shut down)
[b]-Centers for Disease Control[/b] (severely limits spotting and investigating diseases)
[b]-Smithsonian[/b] (kiss your employment there goodbye)
[b]-National Zoo[/b] (same fate as the Smithsonian)
On the bright side, our friends over at the NSA will be completely unaffected.

To hell with the Republicans for pulling this shit, to hell with the Dems for not budging on their precious new tax for the good of the country, and to hell with Obama and his NSA goons.

3 RepliesI'm pretty sure this isn't that serious, it's not going to last a long time.

2 RepliesI like how the NSA is completely unaffected.

Oh no People will be on a week vacation!
-
A shame.

Well... at least I (military) still get my paycheck instead of an IOU like they were going to do. So that's nice because... you know... paying rent.

2 RepliesI still can't believe how stupid your government is. I mean the UK's government is run by retarded gibbons like Michael Gove and David Cameron but at least they aren't openly trying to cripple the country for poops and giggles.

Eh, NASA has had its days numbered anyway. Privet investors could be taking over the field and the military is looking to absorb NASA. I have a friend over there and he envies the pay and security of the military. But you know, another victim to the system which is our government.

Wait a minute... I like these places... Damnit Congress quit the partisan bullshit and get it together. (This is a VERY rare time where you will see me even acknowledge politics on this site.)
-
The NSA is getting affected, they are being laid off until this blows over. basically a unpaid "vacation"
-
23 RepliesWho cares? NASA right now is a waste of money.

Ahh the fallout of the republican temper tantrum (dont get me wrong I dont want obamacare to pass but this isnt the way to do it.) Also gotta laugh that the NSA wont be affected by it.
