If someone has a contact at Goddard, can you put me in touch? Will connect with folks who can receive and custodian the collection. I assume they will not be willing to part with some items (and those will be warehoused and will remain some flavor of safe until a new administration), but there will be some items that would otherwise be tossed that could be saved.

Also interested in anyone with context about what records could be FOIAd to collect a catalog of the total corpus, if available.

You want China to run the planet, and the space above it?

This is how you get China to run the planet, and the space above it, Mr. President.

I’m sure they’ll do a better job.
