It’s not happening as a result of ObamaCare.
I’m also worried about a slowdown in innovative medical tech. And of course, a lot of people predicted it.

The MH17 Shootdown And Spaceflight
Will it expand the crisis?
It sure won’t help.
The Carbon Insanity Down Under
Australia finally ends it. Good on them.
[Update a couple minutes later]
“Aussies hated having their energy prices raised so the elites could feel good about themselves.” But Californians remain idiots.
The Apollo Cargo Cult
Over at USA Today, I say that after four lost decades, it’s time to end it:
After over four decades, it is time to stop awaiting a repeat of a glorious but limited and improbable past. We must, finally, return to and embrace the true future, in which the solar system and ultimately the universe is opened up to all, with affordable, competing commercial transportation systems, in the way that only Americans can do it.
I’ll have some other stuff up later, in other venues.
3-D Printing In Space
Has it been overhyped?
Probably some, but it is going to be a very powerful tool.
Getting The Science Right
I wish more people in Hollywood cared about that.
Shaving Cream
Liberate yourself, gentlemen.
I haven’t used the stuff since the last man walked on the moon.
Statins
More junk science, pushed by the drug companies:
History will judge the American Heart Association guidelines by their effect. We currently have a statin epidemic with 25 percent of adults over the age of 45 taking the pills, a large majority of whom do not have heart disease and have not seen the numbers. But they are simple, and available. No doctor should be prescribing a statin and no person should be taking one, unless they have seen them. If more people without heart disease take statins it will be a victory of misinformation.
I try to convince my brother to get off them, but he takes the advice of his doctor.
Six Californias
This Time piece seems to be all ad-hominem snark, and no content. Nowhere in it does he explain why breaking California up would be a bad idea. He also seems to lack a sense of irony. He seems to be one of those fools who thinks that libertarians are going to “run your life” by leaving you alone.
On The 45th Apollo Anniversary
…author says too few people are dying in space.
