  • Blaming Obama, really? lmao

    Museums interested in exhibiting NASA’s space shuttle orbiters after they’re retired in 2010 may need to meet certain requirements set by the space agency on Wednesday, including the ability to underwrite upwards of $40 million in shipping and handling charges.

    The prerequisites, which were outlined in a formal request for information posted on NASA’s website, seek to insure that the orbiters are properly displayed, that they are used to “inspire the American public and students in particular” and if possible do so without burdening NASA with having to pay for the vehicles’ preparation and transfer.

    The fee per shuttle, which NASA estimates today will run $42 million (but cautions that the estimates are subject to change) are not for the vehicle itself, but the work needed before it is suitable for exhibition.

    “It is really not selling the orbiter, it is the preparation,” said NASA spokesman Michael Curie in an interview with collectSPACE, explaining that $28.2 million goes toward “safing” the orbiter, “which is primarily, removing all the hypergolic fuel systems and other environmental hazards from the shuttle,” $8 million for making it ready for display and $5.8 million for ferrying it on NASA’s modified Boeing 747 to an airport near the museum.

  • “I have no idea what’s going on with David Richardson’s absence,” one FEMA employee told E&E News.

    “If this is how they are going to do a major hurricane response, people are fucked,” one FEMA source told independent journalist Marisa Kabas, author of the newsletter The Handbasket.

    Kristi Noem, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees FEMA and several other agencies, seems to have effectively taken over Richardson’s role. She arrived in Texas within days of the floods, conducting a press conference with Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) and touring the hardest-hit sites, including Camp Mystic, the Christian girls’ camp where at least 27 children, counselors, and staff died. But Noem has also sought to downplay the federal government’s role in responding to the disaster: “We, as a federal government, don’t manage these disasters—the state does. We come in and support them, and that’s exactly what we did here in this situation,” Noem said at a Cabinet meeting earlier this week.
