We just bought a Deco mesh system a few months ago, when the Orbi died. I wonder if it’s compromised?

The Years Of Madness
Are they (finally) ending? Many seem to think so.
Team Players And Groupthink
An interesting discussion that has great explanatory power (including perhaps the most recent election results).
Orion Anniversary
It’s hard to believe that it’s been a decade since it flew on Delta IV.
Where does the time go?
Space Infrastructure Thoughts
Bob Zimmerman says the the emphasis should be on doing the Moon best, not on doing it first. I think we could do both, if we can end our risk aversion.
Well, That’s…Different

Thoughts from Bob Zimmerman.

Peter Hague wishes him luck, but fears that he won’t be able to shift the agency trajectory.

BTW, I’m in DC this week at events, so posting will be light.
The Clock Strikes Thirteen
The preference cascade has arrived.
I certainly feel it.
I’m going to DC tomorrow, so posting may be sporadic, but I hope to find out what’s going on. So posting may be light this week.

The former NASA administrator is the gift that keeps on giving, if you’re into flaming piles of dog poop.
Former NASA Administrator Mike Griffin recently released an updated version of his dual-launch Artemis plan to get humans to the Moon. It relies on two SLS Block II launches and a lander that doesn't exist.https://t.co/O1YPM97jnI

The Gundo
I’ve lived here for over four decades, but I hadn’t noticed that it’s apparently become a major new tech hub, with a new nickname, despite the hostile California business environment. El Segundo itself is too small to contain all of the new innovation, so it’s spilling over into Hawthorne, Torrance, and even down to Long Beach. But it seems emblematic that SpaceX started here, over two decades ago, before they outgrew it.

Sort of related: How American entrepreneurs can keep us ahead of China in space. General Kwast told me a few years ago that he keeps a copy of my book on his desk.
[Noon update]
Another story about El Segundo.
