Lockmart is starting to look to reusability and other launch vehicles than SLS for Orion.
NASA may want to have it for its precious astronauts, but at some point it will be embarrassing when Starship is putting up dozens of people at a fraction of the cost.
…largely only teach the left-wing view of controversial issues:
“‘Personally, I thought we’d find some imbalance, some activist teaching,’ co-author Jon Shields, a professor of government at Claremont McKenna College, told The College Fix. ‘I just didn’t expect it to be the norm in the cases we studied. That was genuinely surprising to me.’
Sadly, it’s not surprising to me at all. It’s a large part of why the country is such a disaster.
Are we at a turning point?
We can hope.
Why they will be built in space:
Here's an argument why data centers will be built in space instead of on the ground. Projected by 2040, $700B/year of costs due to environmental, regulatory, and delay costs for building data centers on Earth. Compare this to decreasing launch costs (not shown here) to predict…

Eric Berger has the latest. Killing EUS would also eliminate the need for ML-2. It could be that we’ll have to continue wasting money on the SLS core and Orion for a while, but it would free up some funds to actually get back to the Moon soon.
Finally, a president who’s doing something about them.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t solve their toxic power in California. The state is run by the teachers’ and prison-workers’ unions, and it shows.
An anti-Communist film festival.
The time is right. People like Castro, Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, Che, and others should be greeted with at least as much opprobrium as Nazis and Hitler.
The chameleon that destroyed California.
It’s not destroyed yet, and I still hold out hope, but he and the Democrats have certainly done a lot of damage, and it should be a cautionary warning against him as a presidential candidate.
An interesting interview on the prospects for NASA and commercial space.
Another sign that it is probably popping: Gen Z grads can’t get jobs. The scam has been particularly brutal on that generation. It won’t end well.
