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%.
It’s good to see that NASA is finally entering the 21st Century. It’s sad that it took this virus to force them to do so.
Many startups, especially in technology, have been teleworking for years. The same has been true of many regional universities who were early adopters of online learning and faculty working remotely.
Actually NASA has been doing teleworking for years. Every few months people are directed to work from home to test the system. But for the past week HQ has told all personnel to be ready to be told they have to telework until further notice. One person who showed up today saw literally two other people not counting security staff.
