"Build a website - it's almost like you got the job done already" - Someone in the White House OEOB The new National Design Studio that replaced the USDS does not seem to be capable of building a website that is accessible, performant, and not overly bombastic / hyperbolic. Completely unreadable. Animation fails at the top, on a decently provisioned Mac laptop with 16GB of RAM. Either way - it's unfortunate that the…

Pixel 10 absolutely ate shit when I opened the page!

Pixel 7a on Graphene using Vanadium browser worked just fine.

NASA "Force?" It sounds very similar to Space Force and Air Force and adds a militaristic tone to NASA. Maybe that is the intent. I know that NASA and the military are closely linked but the general brand of NASA is a the science-focused civilian side while something like Space Force would be the military side.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this administration thinks it sounds more manly.

This website is vibe coded

...and equally substanceless as anything coming out of National Design Studio. Here's an almost identical one (design-wise): https://genesis.energy.gov/ And another one: https://techforce.gov/ And another one: https://safedc.gov/ All basically the same one-pager with different vibe-coded graphics and like 500 words of text.

The hard looped animations are so painful to look at

This, THIS is how any org signals they don't have a budget. Build a "fancy" high-concept paper-thin-veneer website that's adjacent of their extant canonical DNS.

Also, it really, really doesn't help that they're attempting to riff off of the "Space Force" BS.

FWIW, the NRO https://www.nro.gov/ has been the actual "space force" for over half a century.

The admin has tried two times in a row to cut the total budget by 20%, and the science budget by 50% So, probably that squeeze?

Congress sets the budget not the president. The administrations budget is aspirational, and if they want to force it they are required to use political savvy and whatever influence they have built up. Yeah so zero influence as all of that is towards cover ups, stock manipulation, and incompetence.

Yes, but this President has decided that he can move money around or just not spend the money, regardless of the budget, and this Congress has let him.

The copy also doesn't seem to be written by someone with a good command of English, even ChatGPT would do better >technologists inside the systems that power American spaceflight, aeronautics, and scientific discovery. You work on real missions, alongside the teams building them, and your contributions move from concept to operation. For a few days, access is granted to this work. The number is extremely limited. The…

I don't see any big trouble with the quoted text. The language is a bit nerdy, and a bit bureaucratic, but that's exactly what I'd expect from NASA.
