NASA and shutdowns
U.S. Government Shutdown Won’t Impact ISS Operations

Lets assume government shuts friday night. Lets assume NASA is to launch some space proble on Sunday, a once in a lifetime oppportunity due to alignment of planets/stars. Would NASA be a "business as usual" for some time like Amtrak and Post Office because they are already funded and don't need day-to-day funding ? Or would they have to justify that X staff are essential for this launch, and all others would be furloughed? Similarly, I assume mission control for ISS would be "essential". What about experiment focused "mission" controls? Would they too be considered essential and funded or would all experiments be put on hold on ISS? |
