In honor of tomorrow’s anniversary, former (and hopefully, future) space historian Dwayne Day, looking quite jaunty in his newly made Reynolds-Wrap yarmulke, has dredged up the proof, and the truth.
He left out the key elements, though–the Freemasons and Illuminati.
Bare headed, he also has the interesting and relatively unknown story of Jim Webb’s phantom rocket.
This past Friday, July 16th, was the thirty-fifth anniversary of the launch of the first mission to land men on the moon. Tomorrow, July 20th, will be the thirty-fifth anniversary of that landing. I and Bill Simon, primary authors of the Evoloterra Ceremony, will be on The Space Show tomorrow night at 7 PM Pacific to discuss the anniversary and the ceremony. You can listen live here.
It’s not too late to plan to get together with family and friends for dinner, and celebrate our first human visit to another world.
I’ve started reading the book, but I had to drive home from Vegas yesterday, whereas Michael Mealling flew, and had time to read the whole thing. He already has a review up. Mine will come later, hopefully this week.
Also, I’ll note how much faster things happen today. The book was rushed to print (which, as Michael points out, shows), but it’s extremely timely, and only two days after its release, we already have a published review from the buying public (not from someone given a pre-publication copy).

If this on-line poll is to be believed, Arnold is right–California legislators really are girlie men. So far, the polling is running a hundred percent in favor of the proposition.
I think that the reaction of the Dems to this is hysterical, in both senses of the word.
[Update at 5:30 PM]
The legislators have gained some support. Now over one percent of the respondents don’t think they’re girlie men.
At least until I can get the house ready to rent and head to Florida.
I didn’t get away as soon as I expected to, and hit some of the traffic coming back from Vegas. Perhaps more conference thoughts manana.
Michael Mealing informs me that he’s going to shut down the wireless in a few minutes, so I’ll log off for now. Perhaps more conference thoughts this evening, when I get back to LA.
“I think we’ve gone overboard with this notion of safety.”
Dr. Mueller (who was head of the Apollo program) received (yet) a(nother) well-deserved award at the banquet last night, to a standing ovation, for his contributions to our nation’s lunar efforts.
Leonard David managed to find time between other deadlines, and carousing with low lifes like me, to file his first report from the conference, even before it’s over.
Brief summary: there are many institutional barriers to achieving the president’s vision, and the newly emerging private sector will be key. Go read it–it’s the first good overview of the conference so far (and probably overall, since it will be over in a couple hours.
