…allowing data to be preserved for billions of years. Pretty science fictioney.
This would be a boon for cryonicists, who have been looking for years for a persistent way of maintaining their personal records.

Explaining Trump’s Appeal
A timely essay on the current state of the nation from Charles Murray.
[Sunday-morning update]
A bridge too far: I agree with Ace that Trump finally damaged himself last night, at least with actual Republicans. It’s one thing to say we had bad intel; it’s entirely another to say that Bush deliberately lied us into war. That’s the ravings of the left, not a leading Republican candidate.
Venezuela
…is heading for complete disaster.
This would be us under a Sanders administration, if he got a compliant Congress as well.
The Right To Repair
Yes, I have this crazy idea that when you “buy” something, you own it, not rent it.
Obama’s Climate Legacy
Looks like SCOTUS just wrecked it, 5-4. Couldn’t happen to a nicer dictator.

[Wednesday-morning update]
Jonathan Adler explains the ruling. (Note: He is more concerned about climate change than I am.)
The Administration’s NASA Budget Request
Alan Boyle has the story. A cut to SLS/Orion, which the Senate can be relied upon to restore.
Hillary Clinton
…and her ode to serfdom.
There is nothing “progressive” or new about collectivism. It’s the oldest game in civilization.
Economic Freedom In America
…has rapidly declined under Obama.
Well, that’s what it was all about.
RIP, Escape Dynamics
Looks like lasermicrowave launch will be on hold for a while.
It’s too bad — it’s an interesting concept. This is the sort of thing that DARPA/NASA should be doing, but the latter has to waste money on a giant rocket.
NASA’s Non- #JourneyToMars
Eric Berger reports on Wednesday’s House hearing.
If NASA is smart, they’ll be putting a plan together for a return to the moon, to present to the next administration, preferably with a lot of public/private partnership.
[Update a few minutes later]
Keith Cowing had a roundup related links yesterday. And here‘s Doug Messier’s summary and Jeff Foust’s story.
