Sounds like San Francisco, Seattle and Portland are becoming like third-world hell holes. I’m supposed to go up to the city in July for the ISS conference. Doesn’t seem like a great location choice.

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.
SpaceShipOne
It’s the fourteenth anniversary of its first space flight. Here’s a blog post I wrote in Mojave the evening before.
And fourteen years later, not a single passenger has flown in this flawed concept. https://t.co/fi4iBuTH7b

The future ain’t what it used to be: Space tourism edition.

The Horowitz report is out, and (as predicted) it looks pretty bad for the FBI and DOJ. And Comey.
[Friday update at noon]
Three big takeaways from the report. It’s a big report, and there will be a lot of cherry picking by both sides.
[Update a while later]
The report shows that the fix was in from the beginning for the email investigation. Well, duh.
[Saturday-morning update]
Mollie Hemingway read the whole report so you don’t have to.
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.

The Climate Debate
Judith Curry lays out her luke-warmist case.
