If anyone has been having problems commenting, I’ve had a database issue that I finally resolved, so things should be going faster now. I’ll also be posting more, instead of waiting for WordPress to time out.

LOP-G
I agree that it’s probably the best we can do under current political circumstances, but if that’s the case, we should stop wasting taxpayer money on human spaceflight.
Star Wars
Stephen Green has some thoughts on how to save it.
I’ve never been enough of a Star Wars fan to care whether it lives or dies. I would note, though, that $40M went a lot farther four decades ago than it would today.
My Interview On The Space Show
I was on last Monday; it’s been archived.
And sorry for light posting, but last week (and weekend) was wall-to-wall space conferences, between Space Tech Expo in Pasadena, and ISDC by LAX. And now I have three weeks to write a proposal for the LEO Commercialization NASA Research Announcement that came out the week before.
How To Know If You Can Have A Conversation About Climate
Yes, all of these are a sign that the belief is religious, not scientific or rational.
Trump’s Commercial Space Policy
A White House press release.
Asimov And O’Neill
The Space Studies Institute has resurrected a old television discussion of the prospects for space colonies.
It’s interesting to note that when this occurred, we didn’t know how much hydrogen was available on the moon and in the rest of the solar system.

[Tuesday-evening update]
Intermittent fasting seems to help. I’ve been doing this as part of my weekday routine for a while. I go all day without eating until dinner time, other than coffee in the morning, but it’s mostly out of convenience rather than for health reasons. I’m glad to hear it might be good for me.

The Space Show
I’ll be on this afternoon, at 2 PM PDT, to talk about space settlement, the OST, and probably ranting about the latest safety insanity from NASA.
