I haven’t spent much time reading them myself, being too busy, but when I do later, I may have some thoughts.
One question I do have, though. Just how big does Mike think is big enough for a heavy lifter for a Mars mission? How many decades does he plan to put off developing the critical technologies of orbital storage and handling of propellants, and vehicle assembly?
The Rev. Pat Robertson said he hasn’t been a believer in global warming in the past, but this summer’s record-breaking heat is “making a convert out of me.”
Yes, we never had hot summers before we started driving those SUVs.

Lileks has some thoughts on current events in the Levant. There’s a hint of sarcasm to them:
The US continues to support Israel. This is becoming difficult, since many important nations with well-dressed, urbane spokesmen have decided that Israel should stop its strange policy of firing rockets on UN-run stem-cell research facilities for no apparent reason. These diplomats will tolerate a little wartime madness
There’s apparently been a pretty good temblor up in the north bay of the Bay Area (think Marin County) about twenty minutes ago. Maybe they’ll mention it at the top of the hour.
You can bet that, with the heat we’ve had lately in CA (as well as everywhere else),people will be dredging up the claims about “earthquake weather.”
Hopefully it’s not a foreshock of something a lot bigger.
Is Hezbollah on the ropes? And Syria and Iran getting nervous?
If Israel continues to chase them north, it would be interesting to see what kinds of things have been stashed in the Bekaa Valley. Particularly of vintage early 2003…
