In the mean time, play some Kerbal Space Program, get really drunk, and enjoy your congressionally provided holiday. Best of luck to you!

This was an answer to the top comment, which came from a NASA contractor who was not allowed to go to the office today.

Pretty cool to see KSP mentioned as the 2nd top comment in such a large thread with that many upvotes.

Good job Mr. FreefallGeek

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are right there, that's funny!

Is it true the US government shut down NASA over the 2 parties not being able to agree on a budget.

If so FACEPALM, heard of meeting in the middle?

It is unfortunate that current events make NASA's site inaccessible right now, but please refrain from political discussion over the how and why it's inaccessible. Political discussion is prohibited by the forum rules.

Not my intent to discuss politics, it was just completely unexpected to find one of the top comments in that thread mentioning KSP

The comment is still hanging in there... 1386 upvotes now.

I didn't think it was, but I was asked by Ted to post that here, because we've seen a lot of politically charged threads today.
