Can it survive without a radical restructuring?
Nope. SpaceX is disrupting space programs all over the world.

Why Go To Mars And Other Places
I missed linking this article at The Space Review by John Strickland.
The real problem with space policy is not that we can’t decide where to go, but that we can’t decide why.
The Hollywood Blacklist Narrative
Which surprises me not at all. It goes part and parcel with Stalinism.
A Space-Based Internet
…why the time seems right.
The Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel Report
This year’s version is out.
I haven’t read yet, but I’m sure I will. It will be useful fodder for a new edition of the book. Note that while it criticizes Commercial Crew for a lack of transparency, SLS/Orion come in for more substantive criticism from a safety standpoint.
3-D Transistors
Manufactured by directed self assembly.
Just realized that it’s almost thirty years since Eric’s book
Fox News In Israel
The guy who showed me how to use the television turned it to Fox News without my even asking. “It’s our favorite in Israel, they’re the only ones who report what is really happening. Well, until the past few days…”
Anyway, I’ve been seeing these little segments called “Fox News Extra,” with people like Patti-Ann Brown or Laura Ingall doing little interviews, and wondered if they were a new thing. Then I realized that I wasn’t seeing any commercials.
Reusing Falcon Heavy
A nice animation, but I question the economics of bringing all three cores back to the pad. That has to be big performance hit, particularly on the center one. That one might continue to be barged, or at least there would be trades for each flight, depending on customer needs.
Swiss Space Systems
A lot of info on their plans. You know, the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft was modified with twin tails for a reason. Hope that vehicle doesn’t clip the vertical stabilizer.
My Lodging Situation In Israel
I am going through an experience that I would find hilarious if it were happening to someone else. Maybe future me will laugh at it and write about it, after it’s stopped happening to current me.
