But why have a half tank full of gas if they don't want you to go outside? or, Why tape yourself inside and lock the doors?

They mean to close all the windows and vents and tape yourself up inside your car!

Here goes: NASA is preparing for something other than what they failed to prepare for in the past! Are we in the loop? Nope, it's our money but we are not their "family", this part is clear.

They are just sending out standard emergency preparedness warnings to THEIR staff!! Or NASA family as they call it.
I don't see anything here. Except paranoia by some individuals stating there "is" something going on here.

LETS see.....I would agree that it is paranoia except that if this is standard practice..............when did they do this last year, year before, before that.......during Iraq wars........Vietnam wars......hummmmmmm .
Can't remember it........they did not do it.........no standard issue "be ready for emergency and have bug out bag for family, etc." ........Come on.........this is unusual behavior......
Like every day your neighbor gets up has coffee and leaves house....this day.....he sneaks out and tells no one.....hum unusual behavior. Not saying that a deviancy from behavior is abnormal sometimes there are reasons. However, 2 warnings in such a short times span. Wars all over middle east, Elenin coming, numerous Volcanoes going off, Solar flares. Nope nothing to see here...move along all is normal. This is standard practice. yea, keep telling your self that.........move along all is well.

You know, the video and the preparedness isn't going to matter anyway, because you know us southerners, we're just going get a case a beer, sit on the porch, and watch the show. Maybe our last show, but who cares, least we got front row seats.
June 21, 2011: In Sept. 1859, on the eve of a below-average solar cycle, the sun unleashed one of the most powerful storms in centuries. The underlying flare was so unusual, researchers still aren't sure how to categorize it. The blast peppered Earth with the most energetic protons in half-a-millennium, induced electrical currents that set telegraph offices on fire, and sparked Northern Lights over Cuba and Hawaii.
This week, officials have gathered at the National Press Club in Washington DC to ask themselves a simple question: What if it happens again?
"A similar storm today might knock us for a loop," says Lika Guhathakurta, a solar physicist at NASA headquarters. "Modern society depends on high-tech systems such as smart power grids, GPS, and satellite communications--all of which are vulnerable to solar storms."
Speaking at the forum, Allen called for a new kind of forecast: "We
could use All Clear alerts. In addition to knowing when it's dangerous
to go outside, we'd also like to know when it's safe. This is another
frontier for forecasters--not only telling us when a sunspot will erupt,
but also when it won't."
The educational mission of SWEF is key to storm preparedness. As Lika
Guhathakurta and colleague Dan Baker of the University of Colorado asked
in a June 17, 2011 New York Times op-ed: "What good are space weather
alerts if people don’t understand them and won’t react to them?"

This is far different from past EMS promos:
None ever said to remain indoors and tape 'er shut. Past promos encouraged evacuation (even a rope ladder --remember that? And having a common meeting place (in case of fire or EQ)
Then in case of tornado or hurricane, go to the basement or inner closet etc.
They are warning of an environmental disaster. Chem, bio or nuclear fallout is the danger they're conveying. I do believe someone is seeding chemicals or aerosols, as I've felt it twice now and got sick from it. A healthy member of my family just had emergency thyroid surgery (that did not go well.)
But turn off the water to the loo? They'd better explain that reason to me, unless it's connected to a power grid outage.

How on earth would NASA know about some other country launching nukes at us in the future? You think if they somehow figured out some secret plan they would not tell some one so they can you know.... Make sure it does not happen?
It didn't just get real folks.....
