I read the post, but I still think the site redesign is a step backward, and I hope they seriously rethink many aspects of the site as part of the overhaul they promise is coming next year.

While I commend NASA on the open-source content-management system, new content-delivery network and a new data center, upgrading infrastructure to be fast and reliable is a bare minimum requirement we can expect from a huge agency and is neither commendable nor is it news.

So they had a very short amount of time, transitioned the entire back end environment, and have lots of improvements still planned. So maybe withhold the strong critique and condemnation until they have a chance to get the full redesign completed. It's not like they rolled it out and said, "Ta da! You're welcome America!"

Unfortunate waste of taxpayer dollars and total loss of focus on usability. For an agency that aims high and dreams big, it definitely dropped the ball on this one.
