NASA is planning to reduce crew size on ISS because of uncertainty in Commercial Crew. This probably means no research during that period.

Altius
Congratulations to Jon Goff and his team. This will help with space investment in general, I think.
SLS Costs
For years, NASA has been providing a BS number of a billion dollars a flight (with no basis). Now, at least the White House is admitting that it’s at least two billion.
And here’s an update this morning. Yes, five billion a flight is a low estimate.
A Million People On Mars
It could (maybe) be done in a century.
But no, I don’t think they’d have to learn to eat crickets. The paucity of imagination in studies like this is always amazing.
The Sun
…continues to flatline.
It will be cosmically hilarious if, after all the climate hysteria, the glaciers return in the next few decades.
No Safe Spaces
Overgrown children who need “safe spaces” and “trigger warnings” don’t belong at a university.
Tissue-Sealing Tape
…could replace sutures. I’ve always thought that stitches were a very crude means of keeping wounds together. When I cut my the skin on patella on broken class a few years ago, we used superglue to hold things together temporarily, but I eventually still had to put in staples. This sounds like it would have been much better.
Moon By 2022
If SpaceX pulls this off, it’s going to be pretty embarrassing for NASA (and Congress).
The ABA
…is a partisan joke, and has been for a long time.
That’s certainly been my observation.
The Rolling Blackouts In CA
No, they’re not a climate-change story. It’s about rampant insanity and corruption of rent-seeking “green”-energy firms.
And this seems like cheating: Texas lures California businesses with promises of electricity.
What did socialists use to light their homes before candles? Electricity.
[Late-morning update]
California is approaching Puerto Rico territory.
Speaking of which…
[Thursday-morning update]
California is “winning” its way into the Stone Age.
And is the state becoming pre-modern?
Apparently. Pat Brown has to be rolling in his grave at what his idiot son has wrought.
