  US shutdown kills nasa.gov, threatens scienceOct 11, 2013 8:52 AM PDT | url
 
Added 1 new A* page:Ugh it's late/early. This BBC article earlier today pointed out that the partial US government shutdown has shut down NASA's web site, nasa.gov; when I first checked it, it was failing to respond, but now it redirects to "notice.usa.gov" which has a brief message saying "Due to the lapse in federal government funding, this website is not available. We sincerely regret this inconvenience."
 
Man.
 
The article also points out lots of other scientific endeavors threatened by the shutdown.

In happier news, all the new ink pages I've done have had bidders on their eBay auctions now. Gosh! Thanks to everyone who's been bidding, it gives me hope that this all might work out some day--and it means I'll be able to give this art to people! Oh well of course the auction of the original art for the page I just posted doesn't have any bids yet, but hopefully someone will come along and throw down $0.99 on it at least before the week is out. : )
