Why Do Corporate Headhunters…?
…come up with ridiculous skill/experience mismatches with positions? I used to get calls when I was working advanced space programs in Downey from headhunters looking for me to do things like avionics spec development for Navy fighters at Point Mugu. There was nothing on my resume to indicate either experience or interest in such a thing. My theory, then and now, is that corporate headhunters are both desperate for fresh meat (though that’s less of a problem in this economy) and clueless about technical jobs.
Dennis Wingo, Call Your Office
A comsat is loose in GEO. This was one of the things that Orbital Recovery was supposed to address. I’m not sure what the status is on the company, but perhaps Dennis can comment.
Can Private Providers Save Space?
About three months ago, I had a couple phone conversations with Charles Homans, an editor at the Washington Monthly, who had contacted me as a result of reading The New Atlantis piece.

One of the major tells of The One’s socialism was when he said in that debate that he’d increase the rate, even it it hurt the economyreduced government revenues, out of “fairness.”
You Don’t Say (Part 2)

The Entrepreneur
…and the minimum wage.
It’s a shame that we have economic ignorami running the country. What’s particularly stupid about a federal minimum wage is that it’s one-size-fits-all in a country with a wide disparity of living costs. And the degree to which it keeps the young and unskilled from reaching even the first rung of the career ladder is criminal, and a major reason that unemployment is so high among young people in the inner city. But they keep voting these morons in.
My Propellant Depot Slides
OK, Jon has guilted me (Darn you, Goff, darn you to heck) into putting my presentation at Space Access on line.
I’ll try to annotate them tomorrow…
The Deficit And The Debt
A parable.
