Huh. There were female ones.
Robogames
I’d like to attend this event. Maybe we’ll be through bathroom-renovation hell by then.
SpaceX Progress
Falcon Heavy is getting ready for its hot-fire test in Texas, and LC-40 is getting back in business after the boo boo last fall.
Mimicking An Early Impact In Earth’s Atmosphere
…results in the creation of all four DNA bases. This seems much more significant than Miller-Urey.
The Susan Rice Investigation
…is expanding. And it appears that the FBI is trying to cover it up.
History will record that the Obama administration was guilty of abuses of power that Nixon could only dream of.
The Hypocrisy Of The Left
A long but useful and interesting essay from someone of the left who recognizes the problem and wants to fix it. Unfortunately for her, it’s intrinsic in the ideology, which fails of its own internal contradictions. And everyone should read Haidt’s work.
Why Hillary Lost
You’ll be as shocked as I am to learn it was because of Hillary:
The underlying truth — the one that many didn’t want to admit to themselves — was the person ultimately responsible for these decisions, the one whose name was on the ticket, hadn’t corrected these problems, all of which had been brought to her attention before primary day. She’d stuck with the plan, and it had cost her.
While the campaign projected a drama-free tenor, it was reminiscent of other moments of frustration.
Months earlier, Hillary Clinton turned her fury on her consultants and campaign aides, blaming them for a failure to focus the media on her platform.
In her ear the whole time, spurring her on to cast blame on others and never admit to anything, was her husband. Neither Clinton could accept the simple fact that Hillary had hamstrung her own campaign and dealt the most serious blow to her own presidential aspirations.
She is a corrupt incompetent hack, who no one would have ever heard of if she hadn’t married Bill Clinton.
The Space Symposium
If, like me, you couldn’t make it to Colorado Springs last week, Calla Cofield has highlights.
[Noon update]
Valerie Insinna has the story on Tory’s choice in engines. Aerojet Rocketdyne has to have fingers crossed in the hope that BE-4 testing doesn’t go well.
Recovering Falcon Second Stages
Dick Eagleson has some interesting speculation.
Meanwhile, is the small-sat launch industry going to be Amazoned?
The Storms Of Jove
Bob Zimmerman has some thoughts on the gas giant.
