In case anyone missed this 18 August 2016 announcement by Pete Dockrill on ScienceAlert site:

NASA just announced that any published research funded by the space agency will now be available at no cost, launching a new public web portal that anybody can access.
The free online archive comes in response to a new NASA policy, which requires that any NASA-funded research articles in peer-reviewed journals be publicly accessible within one year of publication.
“At NASA, we are celebrating this opportunity to extend access to our extensive portfolio of scientific and technical publications,” said NASA Deputy Administrator Dava Newman. “Through open access and innovation we invite the global community to join us in exploring Earth, air, and space.”
The database is called PubSpace, and the public can access NASA-funded research articles in it by searching for whatever they’re interested in, or by just browsing all the NASA-funded papers.
I only hope it stays accessible… but maybe we should go there via an anonymous browser site.

Good news, especially given a looming anti-science bias in the US govt. Of course, a certain amount of knowledge is needed to benefit by all this information, but at least it’s available to all.
