Well - NASA is going down in budgets basically everywhere. Sadly, this is mostly self-inflicted. A lot of NASA personnel are lifelong republicans (MSFC)

Sure, if it continued communicating elsewhere. This is just going dark, right?

No, they are just consolidating down to a single twitter account so they can fire a communications person or two

Unfortunaly, but a popular shitter-account closing if NASA losing budgets is inevitable, that's still a tiny light in the dark.

Okay which of you space nerds wants to be a hero? This handle is going up for grabs on any fediverse instance. All you have to do is pull the latest from whatever nazi sewer it gets thrown into these days and post it verbatim.

It's not impossible. You used to bulls-eye womp rats in your T-16 back home.

Because everyone does. NASA is apolitical, they just want science messaging to reach as many people as it can, which I agree with. Hell, if that meant posting on 4chan I'd agree with that lmao

I don't understand. They are stopping posting in one channel in favor of posting on another. It just seems like a cleanup in diverse accounts to make it easier to follow nasa. It would be great if they moved to mastodon or any non-nazi channels, but the change in the tweet doesn't look like much to me.

The budget for posting Curiosity updates has been transferred to some rich dudes wallet.

They are gonna stip posting Curiosity specific updates to Twitter and fold it under the Mars umbrella account.

It's just indicating NASA is dealing with budget cuts. It takes away another outlet for people to see the good work they do
