US Is facing the worst possible president good luck fellas
They were doing woke science. The building will be turned into a beautiful hotel.
Legit question. What is the benefit of having NASA in NYC? Is it just the talent pool? Or does it serve some other purpose that will be hurt by this building closing?
Dismantling everything that made America great is a funny way to make America great again.
Trump administration? Trump regime sounds more fitting.
I was under the impression that building was for marine biology research
Why is he even doing this? This research center is important when it comes to making sure that outer space and this planet are safe.
Probably a way over priced location. NASA wasted money in gobs.
Has someone told Trump all of this supposed budget slashing does absolutely nothing without making changes to Medicare, social Security, or military spending? All this stuff he’s slashing is a drop in the bucket and largely accomplishes nothing in terms of reducing spending and ultimately the debt.
There should be pure evil mastermind to hire all those available scientists and make some doomsday rocket or something. Just to put an end to it all.
He is going to sell the building. If he doesn’t decimate the infrastructure, there will be more energy to come after him and prevent the private sector from having contract bidding advantages like, a sprawling state of the art facility for researching and generating patents
But we’ll still be paying for the building. Another doge win?
Oh good, NASA has been full of BS for years and years and years.
I mean it’s a bummer, but it does say that the people will be working remotely briefly while they find a new location, they’re not just shutting it down entirely
As a human (not from the US) I’m so bummed out. For my whole life, since I was a child, NASA was presented as THE space agency. It was a pinnacle of US soft power and had huge influence on kids. Even sci fi movies with dumbest plots imaginable always mention NASA. They made sure everyone sees it as the place to further research. And now Trump is letting these dreams die. Holy shit.
Fucking STOP HIM already!!! Don’t comply, EO’s are not Law, fucking FIGHT
> Goddard Institute for Space Studies
… And this is basically the first I’m hearing about the place after living in New York most of my life. I heard about *the diner*, of course. *Everyone* knows about *the diner.*
Know NASA’s public relations department is doing it’s best letting everyone know about the *important* stuff, but not firmly cementing NASA to the whole Seinfeld / Tom’s Diner / Susanne Vega trivia triarchy seems a bit of a miss.
Not. Everything. On. The. Planet. Needs. To. Turn. A. FUCKING. PROFIT.
How many rockets did the New York office launch? Compared to the Russians, Chinese or …
