Beautiful experience

The public gives NASA 350 million dollars every week, and what do they do with so much money? They fake space using CGI images and camera tricks, and build silly museums to perpetrate the lie that Earth is a spinning globe. 1 star is too generous a rating for such a crime. We want the truth.

It is of course a great experience to be here.

NASA is still mostly remote working. The parkway gate is closed because the bridge is deteriorating. Also food trucks instead of cafeterias.

At the visitor center yes, you can't enter the campus unless you have a reason to, and have someone sponsoring you.

How do I find out who the contractor is at NASA GSFC? I would like to inquire about a position.

John Wilhelm | Sep 22, 2022
Bubby R | Sep 22, 2022

You should check the differing contracts on center; ie there's one for mechanical engineering work (ETIS and MIST), electrical work (ESES), etc. Likewise, precision cleaning, facility maintenance, transport all have govt contracts awarded every 5 years so they change often. Currently, Peraton has the ETIS3 contract, not sure about the others...

Victor De la Peña | Sep 29, 2020
Jason Swearingen | Sep 29, 2020

No. It is no longer at Goddard.

I'll like to take my 3 year old to see the space shuttle ( he loves spaceships). Is this open to public in general?

michael yarger | Sep 29, 2020
Laura Waters | Sep 29, 2020

The only thing open to the public is the visitors center that is small and I think it's more geared towards grade school kids like a museum. If you live close to it then you should check it out but far away is not worth it.
