An interview with Bob Zubrin.
Off To Music City
We’re flying to Nashville today, where I’m going to be on a panel on commercial space with Bob Poole and Katherine Mangu-Ward on Friday morning as part of Reason Weekend (it used to be in Orange County, but…). Then we’re spending a few days in the Smokies. I’ll have a laptop with me, though, so I won’t be incommunicado.
