More birbs…🪾🦜

Wish I could have been there to see it.😕 📡

Will the access road be permanent or temporary?

PS: Glad to have found you here Richard!!

Please @theguardian.com, you’re supposed to be a reliable and quality news source.🙏

Never ‘stranded’, ‘stuck’ or ‘abandoned’.

We don’t need click bait headlines.

Thanks Alice. Hardest decision I’ve ever had to make.

DSS33 is planned to be the next antenna built in Canberra. There was plenty of talk before I left of it being delayed because of budget restrictions at NASA.

Remember that ALL of the Deep Space Network stations are fully funded by NASA, including Tidbinbilla. If NASA funding for science gets cut, and missions reduced, that will include funding for the DSN. There were already cuts planned for next year even before these possible cuts surfaced. 📡

Don’t forget the Canberra Deep Space Network team providing the invaluable ’two-way’ communication support from this side of the world. 📡

Glad to be here and outta that other place.
