It’s interesting to read this essay that I wrote on space policy just after the first flight of SpaceShipOne and see how it’s held up. Things haven’t happened as quickly as I had hoped, and the government policy has remained awful with respect to NASA human spaceflight, but I think we’re finally on the verge of seeing things happen.

The Newsom Recall
Yes, it could actually happen. And Larry Elder has a good shot at it. That would be amazing, because he’s not the girly boy Ahnald turned out to be. The problem, of course, is that the Democrats have supermajorities in both houses, so his vetoes might not stand up. That’s not fixable until next year (if then).
