Keith Cowing has a wealth of (mostly anonymous) commentary from NASA employees on the Gehman Report.
It’s pretty depressing. After reading this, I’m not sure that NASA is salvageable. The only way to fix it, really, is to abolish the agency, and create a new one, hiring the best people from the old.
Fortunately, what NASA does is becoming ever less relevant to America’s future in space.
The authorities in Lansing just figured out, after only a little over a quarter of a century, that there’s a cryonics facility in Clinton Township, Michigan.
Now, of course, they’ve decided that they have to regulate it, but they don’t know how. They think that it’s a combination mortuary and cemetery (which, for some unexplained reason, can’t both legally be done in the same place). Of course, it’s neither, but they can’t suspend any new patients until it gets sorted out.

I’ve got a little more coherent take on the Gehman report than my ramblings here, over at NRO.
Richard Cohen can’t figure out why we launch Space Shuttles. Frankly, neither can I, at least if it’s supposed to be about accomplishing things in space.

Radley Balko says that we need a holocaust museum to the hundreds of millions of people murdered by communism and Marxism, to help put an end to the romanticization of that immoral belief system.
He’s right.
I made some salsa last night from the garden (two kinds of tomatoes, a couple tabasco peppers, a jalapeno, and a couple serrano chiles). Twenty-four hours later, I’m still feeling the heat on my left hand from cutting up the capsica. Anyone have any household remedies for neutralizing the acid?
Yeow. I think it was the tabascos that did me in. I’m glad I didn’t use one of the habaneros…
Investor’s Business Daily says it’s time to restructure the space program.

Sorry, I guess it wasn’t a permalink, it now points to today’s editorial. I did a quick search at the IBD site, and couldn’t find a link to the original piece. If anyone else can, please let me know.
