The simulation process, milestones and inputs are unknowns to first-time users of the CSSL. The Simulation Planning Guide aids in establishing expectations for both NASA and non-NASA facility customers. The potential audience for this guide includes both internal and commercial spaceflight hardware/software developers. It is intended to assist their engineering personnel in simulation planning and execution. Material covered includes a roadmap of the simulation process, roles and responsibilities of facility and user, major milestones, facility capabilities, and inputs required by the facility. Samples of deliverables, facility interfaces, and inputs necessary to define scope, cost, and schedule are included as an appendix to the guide.

Documentary that makes use of unprecedented access to follow life in the New York Times newsroom for a year. The New York Times is arguably the most important newspaper in the world; it is certainly one of the best read and most influential newspapers in the United States. Filmmaker Andrew Rossi was granted rare access to the internal workings of the newspaper for this documentary, where he captures the frantic nature of professional journalism as stories erupt and advances in technology continually force the paper to adapt. In particular, the story of crusading journalist David Carr is picked up. Carr attends closely to the threat of social media and internet technology to the kind of professional, newsroom-based journalism of the New York Times and offers a staunch defence of his paper and the print media it represents.
