I'd agree with the first two, but I'm pretty certain Mark could still Emcee. If there's a furlough, he won't be working for NASA unless he has a critical role to fill. And if he's not working for NASA, he's a civilian like the rest of us and can do whatever he likes. It's not like they're going to lock him in his house for the duration of the furlough. The only obstacle would be that NASA wouldn't pay his travel expenses, assuming they do so in the first place.
