Large numbers of space industry workers run the risk of not being welcome there as they pursue the dream of exploring space. I have no answers. But I am pointing this issue out whenever I see it. According to“Anti-Trans Laws Force Engineer to Quit Job Helping NASA With Moon Missions“pu...
Nelson is NASA’s 14th administrator, the third to fly in space. He was sworn in Monday by Vice President Kamala Harris, who will head the National Space Council. In a show of bipartisan space support, the two previous administrators took part in the ceremony, representing the...
Moreover, the audit found that security log tickets, which include applying a software patch or updating a system’s configuration, sometimes sat unresolved for more than six months. That’s despite the fact that system administrators had a maximum of 30 days to take corrective action. ...
NASA administrators and university colleagues hailed Parker as a visionary in his field of heliophysics, focused on the study of the sun and other stars. He is best known for his 1958 theory of the existence of solar wind — a supersonic flow of particles off the sun's surface. “D...
Additionally, any plans to buy any kind of newsurveillancetechnology must now be approved by city administrators. There will be a second vote on the bill, though it is largely considered a formality. Other cities may follow suit after San Francisco's ban on facial recognition technology goes in...
