I don’t think the cities will ever be the same.

The Evolution Of The Lineages Of Modernity
A long, but interesting book review, from Jim Bennett.
Senator Ballast
Will he drag NASA down? Jim Meigs is my former editor at Popular Mechanics.

Sorry, link is fixed now.
The Dream Of The 90s
I remember when Nancy moved up there. She told us she was planning it at a Halloween party in 2003 at the late Cathy Seipp’s place.
Europe’s Response To The SpaceX Challenge
…is about as pathetic as one would expect.
I told Clay Mowry back in (I think) 2014 that Ariane 6 would be obsolete before it first flew. He didn’t buy it then, but now he’s with Blue Origin.
California’s Job Killers
The idiot politicians in Sacramento don’t seem to know the first rule of holes.
Environmentalists
A new project on the harm they cause.
It’s much more about hatred of humanity than it is about the environment.
Lori Pulls No Punches
She is clearly less than thrilled with the pick of Bill Nelson.
Note the implicit assumption that having an administrator that can get more funding for NASA is intrinsically a good thing.
Death And Lockdowns
They were a policy disaster.
SLS “Affordability”
This new “study” may be the beginning of the end for the program. This graf stuck out, though: “McConnaughey is leading the study for Kathy Lueders, NASA’s chief of human spaceflight. Even before the study’s initiation, McConnaughey had been pushing for the SLS program to become more cost-effective. One goal of this analysis is to find ways for the large NASA rocket to compete effectively with privately developed rockets as part of the agency’s Artemis Moon program.”
No one seems to ask the question: Why should NASA even be attempting to compete with private industry? This is not a proper role of a government agency, but we’ve been stuck in this mode since Shuttle.
