Synchronizing Calendars at NASA

NASA Advisory Council Human Exploration and Operations Committee – Meeting Postponement

NASA Advisory Council – Meeting Postponement
“The meeting is being postponed by NASA due to exceptional circumstances and schedule conflicts of the NASA top leadership in connection with post-launch programmatic requirements of the Orion Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT- 1) on December 4, 2014, at NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida.”
Keith’s note: The original notices for these NAC meetings were posted in the Federal Register 1-2 weeks ago. How many months has everyone known that EFT-1 was going to be launched on 4 December 2014? Just wondering. There’s an app for things like this.

    more evidence that the Federal Register has a limited audience.

    Similar question as to why the MEPAG meeting was scheduled around the same time as the extended mission reviews. While centralized stuff doesn’t always work, I think you have a good point that there seems to be issues with cross-NASA scheduling.

    Maybe their calendar app is the one that isn’t Y2K compliant?

    There are launch dates and plenty of things on the calender with conflicts. This may have been on the calender for months, but you never know when schedule slips. You put them on as a place holder and fix them when reality closes in on you. SOP
