Personnel Facts about NASA Goddard Sciences
There are about 6,600 employees working for GSFC. This includes those located in Greenbelt (MD) and personnel at the smaller centers in Wallops (VA) and the (now virtual) GISS center in NYC.

In addition to Ames and Marshall, the GISS library closed too .
I wonder of the whereabouts about all those tech docs. Some must be historical docs.
And what about already existing documents and papers who refer (or cite) reports formerly in those libraries?

NASA is sinking its flagship science center during the government shutdown — and may be breaking the law in the process, critics say
"There is just a general acknowledgement that a lot of what is happening is illegal…"

Hello, I haven't posted much lately because with the shutdown all interactions with peers or officials has gone almost to zero, so I don't have any scoop or observations to share, that is not a rumor that I feel is worth sharing. I will send a couple of articles later though.

I do not have any updates as of today.
I have no come across of anything that it is more than a rumor. It just creates false ideas and expectations.
One thing that I would share is that I was some exposed of the bureaucracy that my CS colleagues have to do and it made feel pity for them.

It has been more than a month since the large wave of voluntary civil servant retirements.

It’s been quiet these last seven days or so in Goddard, at least within my circle. Not much to report. In many ways, it’s a typical August lull—quiet hallways and a parking lot that empties quickly by 3–4 p.m., particularly when the weather is nice.
