Yeah, Im sure Nasa blocked all Brazillian domain space. With Brazils thriving economy and huge space program I would 
see why Nasa would be of interest.

Go back to the beach and your umbrella drink and stop spreading rumors.

Dan,

A few years ago, all Brazilian IP Address Blocks got blocked by NASA (nasa.gov).

NASA claimed that they were getting to much hacking attempts and
defacements originating from Brazil.

One should be careful while blocking ip addresses blocks (sometimes
full A and B classes) because they may be blocking legitimate users
too.

And you?re right, try to contact the abuse and s/cirt account!!
