NASA Back up and Running

With the government back up and running, the space agency’s employee are slowly coming back into many NASA centers across the country. Since the shut down on October 1st less than 600 of NASA's employees were allowed to work out of the 18,000. NASA's videos on TV are currently playing archived videos of the manned space program and NASA.gov is now accessible. Although most NASA employees were not able to work during the 16-day shutdown, some missions were still collecting data and performing key maneuvers. And importantly, even though the government and NASA were shut down, we can all be relieved that the asteroid search program was still going on throughout the shutdown, looking for Earth-threatening asteroids. The NASA Astronauts on the ISS, or the International Space Station, were still supported from the ground with a skeleton crew in Mission Control at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas through the course of the shutdown.
