Eric Berger writes that Congress is forcing NASA to eat its seed corn for the #JourneyToMars.

This is a key point:
Since Tuesday, I have been asking communications officials in NASA’s Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate for clarification on what this extra funding will be used for and whether it’s needed. I haven’t received a response.

A Civil Rights Victory In Tennessee
Ending “gun-free” zones.
Space Resource Utilization
Here are the proceedings of the symposium in the Netherlands. Haven’t read through them, but I expect to see a lot of support for Moon Treaty-like “solutions.”
That Unlawful Subpoena
CEI strikes back at the AG of the Virgin Islands.
Title IX

The Irony Of RICO
Several states Attorneys General and green groups colluded to go after a false conspiracy theory.
See, if we had an U.S. Attorney General who actually cared about the law, she’d be going after them with RICO, instead of private organizations.
The Minimum Wage
How it helped wreck Puerto Rico’s economy.
Let’s do it here!

Minimum wage, maximum ignorance.
It’s almost as though they want to blight the lives of the young and working poor.
Ken Starr
Of course, the media has developed a “strange new respect” for him.
The Space Renaissance Act
Bridenstine has introduced his bill. It has its own domain. Haven’t read yet, but will have thoughts when I have.
