• NASA Library closing down - little warning...

    From John Robertson@jrr@flippers.com to sci.electronics.design on Fri Jan 2 23:42:27 2026
    From Newsgroup: sci.electronics.design

    In yet another move to distract from the Epstein files the US
    administration has ordered NASA to shut down the library at Goddard.

    Today.

    https://futurism.com/space/nasa-library-trash

    And some of you still say that the POTUS is good for the USA.

    Russian trolls what he and his administration are. Or Useful Idiots, no
    real difference is there?

    I don't know what no one else has mentioned it here - we are supposed to
    be space fanatics here!

    That 'precedent' -I call him "King Kong"- signals the end of America
    Now he is bombing Venezuela.. wanting to bomb Iran too..
    Killing thousands in Gaza.

    King Kong got defeated..

    This ape in the war house better be!

    Now it is trying to make friends with the new NY city boss,
    trump building>
    LOL

    But nothing new about NASA,
    I once did read all papers from the moonlanding projects were gone somehow too.

    So they have not been able to go to the moon ever since!

    I was going to think about the Epstein files today but my attention has
    been consumed by NASA's library instead. Can't they move the material to
    the Smithsonian?

    I guess NASA doesnrCOt need it now that Italian submarines can reach Mars in
    4 days?

    "That claim seems to contradict the NYT" is hilarious.

    But cutting the NASA budget in half is a good start.

    I'd just about got all of those ghastly images of Bill Clinton in
    various states of undress in the Epstein files out of my head when
    some dumb Canuck had to go and make me relive the trauma.

    It's not actually propaganda - just factual information. Cursitor Doom
    doesn't know enough to understand what the facts mean, and is gullible
    enough to believe the fossil carbon industry propaganda (which he
    doesn't see as propaganda).

    He thinks his 1890's measures of the 1890 CO2 levels - by wet chemistry
    done in labs heated by coal fires in cities heated the same way, have
    the same weight as Charles Keelings automated CO2 level measurements
    done by IR absorbtion at the top of Manu Loa, which started in 1958,
    after IR absorbtion machines had gone into commercial production.

    The first non-dispersive CO2 gas monitor dates back to a about 1943, but
    it took a while for them to become commercially available.

    He misses the point that Charles Keeling started off doing his
    measurements in an urban environment, but found out that local CO2
    emissions made the results erratic, and had to take his gear to the top
    of Manu Loa to get consistent results that could be relied on.

    An AI just told me that:

    "... NASA is conducting a 60-day review of the [Goddard library] collection. Historically significant or valuable materials will be prioritized for digitization, transfer to other federal repositories, or long-term storage, while redundant or outdated items may be disposed of per federal guidelines."

    I've visited this library somewhat recently. It was the size and demeanor of a large airy public library circa 1990. I don't recall any patrons other than me and my colleagues who were just killing some time between meetings.

    That seems to be the norm for most "dead tree repositories", lately.

    If the material was available on-line, I suspect more use would be made of it.
