It’s foolish to conflate educational level with intelligence, particularly when in many cases the “education” is a maleducation with a credential.

Objectively Pro-Democrat
Thoughts from Neo-Neocon and Charlie Martin on the Never Trumpers, and their death wish for the Republican Party.
Never having been a Republican, I wouldn’t mind seeing a political party replace the Republican Party, but not at the cost of the Democrats taking over again, which (as Charlie notes) would be disastrous for the Republic.
Blue Origin
They’re serious about the moon, even if NASA and Congress aren’t. They plan to start colonizing within half a decade.
Laws Of Space Resources
At some point, I think it will be important to distinguish between resource utilization for personal use (living off the land), for commercial use in space (e.g., selling propellant), and terrestrial use.
Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity
If this new paper is correct, we should be firing up our SUVs.
[Friday update]
Thirty years on, how do climate predictions hold up?
Not well. [paywall]

Illegal Immigration Solutions
Democrats have zero tolerance for them.
It’s all about importing more voters to swamp the ones here who won’t bend to their will.
[Update a few minutes later]
Who wants to solve the crisis? Not Congressional Democrats. They don’t want a solution; they want the issue.
Mark Sundahl
He’s going to be on The Space Show in a few minutes (2 PM PDT), talking about space law and space property rights. I’ll be interested to hear what he has to say.
BTW, just turned in the proposal to NASA this morning, so I’m sort of decompressing.
[Update a few minutes later]
Welp, five minutes past, and so far he’s a no show.
[Update a couple minutes later]
OK, sounds like they’re about to start now.
[Update toward the end]
Nice to hear him endorse the multilat idea I’ve been (and will continue to be) promoting.
Jack Schmitt
As one of the few remaining moon walkers, I admire him, which is why it saddens me to see him regurgitating pro-SLS propaganda. I’m in the last throes of a proposal, or I’d take it apart, but maybe someone else will.
Leaving This “Wretched” Planet
That’s quite a hed and URL of this NYT story about private space facilities. I don’t know why it would require fifteen weeks of training, though. I think that’s more likely to put wealthy people off than the price tag.
[Wednesday update]
Alan Boyle (unsurprisingly) has a better story about it.

Tim Draper’s Latest
He’s got his new proposal to split up California (this time into only three states) on the ballot. If this miracle happens, I’d move to Orange County in South California in a heartbeat.
