The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has received the highest ranking of any large government agency on the Partnership for Public Service’s “Best Places to Work in the Federal Government” rankings.

NASA received a 78.6 index score in 2016, which is up 2.5 from last year.

Now if Trump can return NASA to its original mandate of launching people and things into space instead of being a muzzlie outreach program, it’ll be a great place to work. I hope that Trump is big on our space program and big on NASA.

Considering everything, how satisfied are you with your organization? (Q. 71)

being a muzzlie outreach program...

Now, now... gotta be fair here. NASA clearly does some other things.

For example, it is also a GlowBull Warming program. Got at least give them that due.

Perhaps as long as you are NOT as NASA’s Goddard Center in DC, based upon some stories from acquaintances that work there.

Yeah, if I was working on that boondoggle SLS program, WAY over budget and WAY behind schedule and WAY behind what Private Space can accomplish, I'd give NASA high marks as well.

Go Trump MAGA - Teach NASA a lesson.
