Top Space Influencers
I’d be more gratified by being in this stratosphere if I could see more things happening that I’m actually influencing. But maybe I’m being too impatient. I also wish that being an influencer paid better.

Blue Origin
Another successful flight, the fourth now. That oscillation on the drogues looks like it could make people sick, though.
Obama’s Science Advisor
Twelve questions about climate that he refuses to answer.

Heading to Missouri
Patricia’s mother died on Friday morning after a long decline, and the church service is scheduled for Monday morning in Columbia. We’re at LAX now waiting to board. I’ll have my laptop with me, so I’ll be blogging. I’ll be heading to Seattle straight from there Monday evening for the Newspace conference.
This Morning’s Landing Attempt
Loren Grush has the story. So their streak is over, but this is how you learn and improve.
An RD-180 Agreement
This should buy ULA enough time to get Vulcan flying.
Homer Hickam’s Lawsuit
He told me about this when I had lunch with him a few weeks ago when he was in LA, partly to deal with it.
The Return Of The Rotary
This is a pretty cool development; a new take on the Wankel engine. Hope it works out.
The American Heart Association
…continues to preach junk science:
The American Heart Association recommends a heart-healthy dietary pattern emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains and other nutritious foods and specifically that at least half of grain consumption should be whole grains. Whole grains provide many nutrients, such as fiber, B vitamins, and minerals, which are removed during the refining process.
No protein, no fat. This is the kind of diet that helped kill my father from his second heart attack decades ago, at age 55.
