As early as. We're already over a fiscal quarter late. It will be important to see what happens to the increasing number of calls that have already passed original NOI/step 1 deadlines or had imminent due dates.

As of today, ROSES 2025 is 89 days late. 3 Months on the calendar, albeit one of them is February.

May 13, 2025. Since last update 3 calls have past the 60 days until due mark: Heliophysics Enhancements of Analysis Tools and Data User-Centered Applications with Large Earth Foundation Models Precursor Science Investigations for Europa. Table DL from NSPIRES, 2/21. Late=red. Due <60 days=yellow.

We made "71 Days Late" and "72 Days Late" images for ROSES, but, it's the weekend and thus kind of useless to post them. As well, there are two more calls that cross the '60 days until due' boundary over the weekend, (HSR and DALI) but we'll post those on Monday as well–If ROSES doesn't appear...

Petro's words have not inspired a great deal of comfort or confidence in the last weeks.

The Senate hearing on Jared Isaacman's nomination to be NASA Administrator will be next week, April 9, 10:00 am ET.

NASA's future may lie in private sector partnerships. Starship, however, will not be the solution or even *a* solution, to that equation.

So we're gonna fucking whitewash the moon, now.
