Keith, I appreciate all you do to keep us informed of the good and not good that NASA does. I haven’t worked for JPL in years, but still remember working there fondly, and appreciate the reporting you do about it. If you get burned out and have had enough, it’s very understandable. You should be enjoying your retirement, not the crap you seem to be getting.
I know that the administration is looking at massive layoffs if there is a government shutdown. I suspect JPL would seriously be on the chopping block if the shutdown happens. Especially considering it is in a blue state.
