FOIA, NASA, DSCOVR - My Acronym Hell [2]
My last posting was about [7] my teeth-pulling exercise to get information from NASA about their bizarre decision to cancel DSCOVR.
Last year, I filed a Freedom of Information (FOIA) request to NASA for all documents relating to the decision to cancel DSCOVR. Almost a year later, I got about 80 pages of documents - mostly letters from concerned scientists about the cancellation of the mission. NASA withheld all their internal documents so I filed an appeal. Last July, I got my response: Bupkis (that’s Yiddish for goat shit).
So in the interest of full disclosure, I am posting my FOIA request, all the documents from NASA, and my highly unsatisfactory appeal response (see attached). Enjoy.| Attachment | Size |
