Is it killing your gut?
I rarely drink out of plastic bottles. And most of the water I drink comes from our four-stage reverse-osmosis filter. Not sure where else I’d be getting plastic.
Government Schools
I would not send my kid (or any kid) to one.

A notional alternative to SLS/Orion for Artemis.
Ukraine And The Global Space Industry
This looks to be an interesting event.
The Latest FAA Delay
From Reddit.
Some think that the latest one-month delay is good news, indicating that the FAA is really trying to make it happen ASAP. We’ll see.
