This is not great news. I don’t understand why Ross hasn’t gone to Congress, but I also don’t understand how he thought he was going to get the funding without doing so.

Boris Johnson’s Revolution
Thoughts from Michael Barone.
I’m encouraged that he wants to emphasize science and technology. This could create some useful Anglospheric alliances in space, particularly if he sets up a Royal Space Force.
[Update a few minutes later]
He’s going after the Beeb. That would be amazing if he could get rid of that pack of leftist hacks.

“Advanced Space Technologies”
An interesting article on General Kwast (who reportedly has people read my book), but isn’t it obvious that he’s talking about things like Starship? Nothing magical or secret here.
Chute Problems
An interesting look at the delays for Commercial Crew.
Coming in on chutes is such a 20th-century concept. At some point we will land rockets just as we do airplanes. And if Elon has his way, that point will be within half a decade, at which point, Crew Dragon capsules may come back inside a Starship.

[Update a couple minutes later]
Over one in three San Franciscans are thinking of leaving.
Regulating Outer Space
Thoughts from Laura Montgomery on the constitutionality of it.
Draining The Swamp

Manual Transmissions
I’ve posted this before, but another example of why they’re good for car-theft prevention.

As anyone with a lick of sense predicted, California’s new worker “protection” law is crushing free lancers.
