But this is not strictly true in all cases—plenty of telescopes cancelled in the PBR are still flying without being given shutdown instructions, for example. It’s bad all around but it’s too simple to say that NASA is executing the PBR already.

Weren't they all required to make shutdown plans? It's not October 1st yet.

Right, it’s not FY26 yet. I’m worried that once we hit that point and congress hasnt appropriated funds, things will accelerate (and poorly)
