Astronauts, stuck on the space station, unable to get a ride home, may finally be able to apply and receive overtime pay.

NASA is dying in any case. The people (and therefore the politicians) lost interest after Apollo. We aren't going back to the Moon or to Mars. And our rovers and orbiters and other robots are the last of their kind. Maybe 1% of the people know we've had a space station for 19 years. And most would say "why?"

There were a considerable amount of contract employees that work for nasa and they were laid off without pay. Govt. employees have been paid back already but they will never be paid.

It seems like a poor excuse to lose your talent. NASA is amazing, and anyone with moderate curiosity and internet access will quickly find them... I hope the data loss can be patched up with the help of other nations.
