Dear Readers
Keith’s note: I just had a strange exchange with another space-related media outlet. A rather nice, talented person. I am supposed to be retired. Indeed I was going to turn NASAWatch off this Spring since I am simply tired of doing this thankless task after 30 years. Then the current RIF disaster at NASA unfolded and – well – deja vu allover again – I guess there is still a need. I run this thing 100% out of my own pocket on a fixed income. Again, I am RETIRED. Yet this other publication wanted me to dig up and share sources with them so they can write stories (and make money). I will keep doing this as long as I get thank-you comments from y’all. But I’d much rather be climbing in the mountains with long-suffering Mrs. NASAWatch and writing my apolitical Astrobiology book. I am simply trying to help. Help me do that – but please don’t try and take undue advantage of that interest. FWIW this is increasingly where my mind is at – and I go there in my mind every day now to escape the gathering storm: “My Star Trek Episode at Everest ” – from 2009. Ad Astra y’all.

You and might not always see eye to eye, but I always find your perspective interesting and your articles worth a read. I appreciate the desire to put things aside, and you have to do what’s best for you. But know you have at least one faithful reader out here.
Thanks Jeff – welcome comments from a true believer!
I’ve been an intermittent reader for years and your posts have circulated in the office a few times. These last few months have been confusing and your NASA perspective is appreciated and a valuable resource for information and stories that don’t always make the headlines. Thank you.
