This seems like a potentially huge Internet security problem. You have to scroll down a ways to see what to do about it, and the instructions are a little…sparse. I’d want to protect both my Frontier router and my Orbi mesh.

Mark Sundahl
He’s going to be on The Space Show in a few minutes (2 PM PDT), talking about space law and space property rights. I’ll be interested to hear what he has to say.
BTW, just turned in the proposal to NASA this morning, so I’m sort of decompressing.
[Update a few minutes later]
Welp, five minutes past, and so far he’s a no show.
[Update a couple minutes later]
OK, sounds like they’re about to start now.
[Update toward the end]
Nice to hear him endorse the multilat idea I’ve been (and will continue to be) promoting.
The New Astronauts
Chris Davenport has an in-depth story on the coming age of American human spaceflight. I’d note that in the future, one will not need to learn to speak Russian to go into space. That will be a relic of a happily bygone era.
Jack Schmitt
As one of the few remaining moon walkers, I admire him, which is why it saddens me to see him regurgitating pro-SLS propaganda. I’m in the last throes of a proposal, or I’d take it apart, but maybe someone else will.
More Junk Nutrition “Science”
The “Mediterranean Diet” has been discredited.
Leaving This “Wretched” Planet
That’s quite a hed and URL of this NYT story about private space facilities. I don’t know why it would require fifteen weeks of training, though. I think that’s more likely to put wealthy people off than the price tag.
[Wednesday update]
Alan Boyle (unsurprisingly) has a better story about it.

The Climate Debate
Judith Curry lays out her luke-warmist case.
Tim Draper’s Latest
He’s got his new proposal to split up California (this time into only three states) on the ballot. If this miracle happens, I’d move to Orange County in South California in a heartbeat.
More thoughts from Ed Morrissey.
Elon’s Not-A Flamethrower
A couple of user experiences, here and here.
[Update a few minutes later]
Slightly related: SpaceX is going to attempt a second-stage entry with a giant party balloon.
The Climate Wars
The (rare) voices of reason:
10. Can we put the polarization genie back in the bottle, on climate or anything else? I really don’t know. But I do wonder how those advocating further radicalization of climate advocacy imagine any of this ends.
11. Making ever more radical demands might be a fine strategy were there someone to negotiate with. But by the reckoning of most prominent climate hawks, there isn’t.
12. Nor does it appear that a more inclusive climate coalition is likely to bring larger congressional majorities. Any Democrat-only climate strategy has to be predicated on not only winning but holding purple/red districts over multiple elections.
13. These are precisely the districts that radicalized climate rhetoric alienates culturally and the green policy agenda punishes economically. Since the failure of cap and trade in 2010, climate activists have taken rhetoric to 11, and what it got them was Trump.
And it will continue to.
