This is not a NASA Website. You might learn something. It's YOUR space agency. Get involved. Take it back. Make it work—for YOU.

NASA Watch: Your support is needed, support independent journalism.
Thank you for whatever support you can provide. We recently launched this upgraded website which will allow us to expand our coverage. But the design and hosting come at cost, as does adding new services. We're also going looking to add new journalists as we expand.
We'll send a verification code to %EMAIL%.
Well at some point, Keith, you might be right. I have seen a radical turnaround over the last several years. It wasn’t that long ago that NASA did not know what Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, were. The old guard of PAO did not know and did not seem to care to know. The new guard, too many of them millenials and other ‘youngsters’ who seem to know little about space, are all over social media, and I mean that literally. They’ve got messages and videos and all kinds of stuff coming out all over, but apparently, largely uncoordinated, unconstrained, lacking substance. They aim for simplicity: “First Step, Mission to Mars” – really? where? “Benefits from ISS helping earth?”-really? Why can neither NASA nor CASIS seems to get any great new prospective experimenters on board? Then I might believe. Do they have a campaign aimed at prospective experimenters? NASA seems, lately, to be trying to advertise achievements they have not yet achieved.
This future looks like the present
A giant shuttle on the side of SLS!!!
Even in Photoshop
No clue of the future

We have lots of members
Our motto
Make do with what we got!
I’m afraid we are still a long way from Skylon but we are getting closer. As Keith reports: another £20.6 million in the SABRE/LAPCAT kitty 😉 More importantly, a tie in to a big player: BAE.
This would explain the recent recoloring of SLS.
