Just in from the @planetarysociety.bsky.social: The counter CR proposed by the Dems to keep the government open includes language protecting NASA missions in "operation, including extended operations, or under development or formulation." This is not in the CR proposed by House Rs. So we'll see.

It also specifically calls out continuing NOAA Research (OAR) at current levels, "including for research laboratories, cooperative institutes,and scientific awards," and renewing cooperative agreements.
