The specter that will not die. This is the most important election in my lifetime.

XCOR’s New York Event
Denise Chow has the story.
I think that there’s an excellent chance that they’re going to beat Virgin at being first to market.
“A Penny For NASA”
…would most likely be wasted, just as much of NASA’s budget is now.
The Private Sector
…isn’t doing just fine, Mr. President.
[Afternoon update]
Instapundit has a lot of links. This seems (appropriately) to have resulted in a firestorm of criticism of the economic ignoramus. I agree with John Hinderaker that it is redolent of his intrinsically socialist mindset.
[Update later afternoon]
What goes around, comes around.
This also points out just how incompetent McCain and his campaign were, compared to Romney.
And how not-so-brilliant the Obama team is/was. They were lucky. Their luck has run out, I think.
Cronyism Alert
The next farm bill. We’re still clearly a long way from either party taking spending and the deficit seriously.
“Free Enterprise”
I’m glad to see that Romney isn’t using the word “capitalism.” This is a much better formulation.
A Private Mars Expedition
At ISDC, Bob Zubrin actually invited me to give a talk on this subject at the Mars Society meeting in August. I accepted, but I still owe him an abstract. Speaking of whom, he has an editorial in the Washington Times about the need for property rights in space.

Over at Open Market, I point out a way for Mitt Romney to demonstrate his secular cred, by coming out for cancellation of a program that benefits the home state of his church.

Is California the death knell? Let’s hope so, at least for government-subsidized systems. I do think that an LA-Vegas run could make sense.
Up? Or Down?
The latest from Bill Whittle, with contrasting thoughts on Chris Hayes and Elon Musk.
