- I am directing most employees to work from home tomorrow, Wednesday, February 7, so everyone can be in a safe, comfortable environment on a stressful day. Most individuals will not be able to enter the Lab during this mandatory remote work day. A Lab access list has been created and those who will have access will be notified by email shortly. If you do not receive an email instructing you to be on Lab, please plan to work remotely, regardless of your telework agreement status. In addition, and to ensure we have everyone’s accurate contact information, I am also asking everyone to please review and update your personal email and phone number in Workday today.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a company or organization that had mandatory remote work day outside of really crazy weather during the peak of Covid. Perhaps it’s to protect the equipment from distraught or disgruntled employees?
US literally forgot how to make rockets when their looted nazis died off and spend 10 years having to beg Russia for a lift. China is steadily keeping its announced terms for everything and basically caught up to NASA in 15 years of what NASA spent 70 to do. In the meantime US is defunding their one somewhat working agency and are throwing insane amount of cash to the Musk grift, which might amount to something due to sheer amount of money but is not nearly as effective an any other space agency and is inherently unstable like all other Musk grifts.
Seeing things like OP and believing USA over China is just utter stupidity.
Kinda funny how that works when you do something cool and then just let the brain drain rot it all away. Even the Rovers - Marc Roper is subjected to YouTube vids and science box subscriptions. Had engineering geniuses on tap and instead of training the next gen to refine practices and keep momentum they shed the talent and destroy the records so every subsequent generation has to reinvent the wheel.
