I had a hard time deciding. After much pondering, at least 15 seconds, i decided on banana, because bananas are almost always good!

I thought
1. We had over Germany heavy storms and many people died through lighting strucks near where I live. Electronics, satellites, nets do not work properly
2. APOD Robot went to summer holidays
3. I don't understand what GSFC means....Great starship flight captain maybe? Is he gone?

Congress is always holding APOD hostage. Anything to cut taxes for the 1%....

I was betting on an asteroid strike.

I didn't notice. Or more properly, the comments on Asterisk drew my attention to the problem before I had actually tried clicking on the APOD itself (I almost always access the APOD via the roboposting in this forum, not directly).

I thought that Obamacare had appropriated all the funding.

I thought the leap second had crashed the GSFC computers.

Surely this - THIS- was the true sign of Nibiru about to strike the Earth, despite all the skeptics and critics saying it didn't exist...

Coincidently, I lost access to NOAA's buoy database, so I figured the House of Reps had mandated that the Federal agencies adopt the House information policies: i.e. no factual information should be allowed public access and only "sound science" that supports the majority policy positions be approved for government websites.

NASA finally ran out of money and the power had been cut off

Greetings from Chile!
Re: Poll: When I couldn't find APOD online, I thought....
I thought "oh no!" when I didn't get APOD with my customary shortcut. Then I went to NASA.gov and typed in APOD in the search box and found a slide show of pictures from APOD. It got me through even though APOD started out today with Jun 30 picture today. I apreciate the video toward the galactic core that is up now. You're always a big part of my day!
Look what God hath wrought

The current administration had killed another NASA Project and source of information.

The Banana answer is a Futurama reference, right?
Re: Poll: When I couldn't find APOD online, I thought....
I thought APOD was doing computer maintenance.

Congress is always holding APOD hostage, to give more benefits to the 99%......

I thought that there was an Internet outage somewhere over there in America.

As a European citizen, I hadn't been aware of the weather in the US, so my first thoughts were:
1/ Maybe my cable modem is acting up again;
2/ Maybe my ISP has DNS troubles;
3/ Maybe RJN is ill;
4/ Maybe this particular server is down;
5/ Maybe an underground internet cable has been cut.
Only after reading geckzilla’s post did I realize what had happened.
Then I wondered, how many times have there been no APOD? It can't be many. I think the service has been remarkable steady and reliable over the years.

Creí que se trataba de un ataque informático (algún fotógrafo-hacker cabreado, páginas web celosas, el enemigo amarillo...)
I believed that it was a question of an IT assault (some infuriated photographer-hacker, jealous web pages, the yellow enemy...)

I live in Kansas, and I'm so used to local technology problems that I thought it was a glitch in the system at our end!
I'm a retired veterinarian with widespread interests in science.

I thought it looks like I really will have to get one of those computer thingies. Attaching a bent clothes hangar to my left ear really isn't cutting it any more - although Pluto FM is still coming through loud and clear. They're playing Dob Billain's 23rd Asteroid Demotion Blues Again at the moment.
