I noticed that too Cindy. My theory (I have no insider information [yet <G>]) is this must be linked to their host company filing for bankruptcy.

PSInet, which hosted the NASA Spaceflight website, I believe went out of business almost a month ago. Given that the error seem to redirect spaceflight.nasa.gov to spaceflight.sc.wip.psiweb.com it appears that PSInet is still hosting the site.

I too tried to log on to their yesterday, but no luck. I thought perhaps the site had been hacked or something. So their hosting company went broke? Seems poor ol' NASA is having money troubles everywhere. I'll host their site if their desperate!
