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.
Farewell To California
Andrew Malcolm has had enough.
We’re thinking of getting out, too. I’ve loved this state since I first visited it on a family vacation over half a century ago, but the inmates are running the asylum in Sacramento.

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
Federal bureaucrats are quitting rather than move out west.
Sounds good to me.

This looks promising. The field has needed innovation for a long time, and the NRC has been holding it back.
Manual Transmissions
I’ve posted this before, but another example of why they’re good for car-theft prevention.
California “Boomerang”
As anyone with a lick of sense predicted, California’s new worker “protection” law is crushing free lancers.
Quantum Computing
Researchers are getting tired of all the hype.
The UK
…has finally decided in favor of Brexit.
This is good news, both in the win of a party that finally wants to be responsive to the people, and in the loss of the party of socialism and anti-Semitism.
Not a lot of time or energy for any further analysis, given that I got up at 5 AM (2 AM PST) to catch my flight to be back home today, but it seemed like quite a great week for Trump overall. In fact, even the impeachment charade in the House may be part of his good week.
[Friday-morning update]
American leftists thought that Corbyn’s inevitable victory would be their model.
Good luck with that. 🙂

Mark Steyn says “Boffo Boris.”
[Update a couple minutes later]
All the Brexit defectors lost their seats.
The good news just keeps rolling in.
[Update a couple more minutes later]
No, Boris is no right winger. Well, Trump isn’t really a conservative, either.
