Yes, all of these are a sign that the belief is religious, not scientific or rational.
Mueller’s Appointment
…was probably unconstitutional.
Which would be all of a piece with the other actions of Obama administration officials.

At this point, I think he should be wearing orange.
Trump’s Commercial Space Policy
A White House press release.
Asimov And O’Neill
The Space Studies Institute has resurrected a old television discussion of the prospects for space colonies.
It’s interesting to note that when this occurred, we didn’t know how much hydrogen was available on the moon and in the rest of the solar system.
The Trump-Russia Investigation
It didn’t originate with Page or Papadopoulos; it originated with the Obama administration.

If anyone gets a subsidy, it’s ULA, not SpaceX, and sure as hell not Blue Origin. Plus, an open admission that their rocket is a jobs program.
Tom Wolfe
Thoughts from Tim Fernholz on his space legacy.
