How it helped wreck Puerto Rico’s economy.
Let’s do it here!

Minimum wage, maximum ignorance.
It’s almost as though they want to blight the lives of the young and working poor.

And NASA isn’t covering itself in glory here, either.

I was in the same room with Nye a couple nights ago, at a reception. I felt like I needed a safe space.
Yesterday’s Launch Panel At NSS
Tory Bruno and Gwynne Shotwell have very different space-business philosophies. I think that Gwynne is right, but the good news is that for now, the two companies are more complementary than competitive. And the Air Force will want to continue to maintain two providers.

Alan Boyle interviewed him on stage on Tuesday afternoon. Here’s the transcript.
What he said may have been new concepts to many, but they’re all ideas that go back decades. The difference is that he’s funding them himself, and not waiting for the government to do it.

My Global Access Application
You may recall that I signed up for it, instead of TSA Pre-check, because it included expedited customs (though I don’t travel that much internationally), and only costs $15 more. I’ve been provisionally approved after only two or three weeks, but I can’t get an interview until JUNE 27th. So a) I have to make sure I’m in town that day and b) I have to continue to hope for random TSA Pre-check until then.
Sigh.
[Friday update]

Someone sent me a Python script to go out and look for appointments opening up. I used it to snag an appointment for Monday.
