“Humans are pretty needy,” Lyles told me. “You’re taking water, you’re taking all of their environmental control systems, and whatever they need on a really long mission. A large, heavy launch vehicle is almost a no-brainer.”
NASA is not alone in this conclusion. During a two-week span last month, private companies SpaceX and Blue Origin both unveiled giant, SLS-scale launchers that will become key parts of their future spaceflight aspirations.
One of these things is not like the others. SpaceX and Blue Origin want to build big rockets because they plan to put thousands of people into space. NASA is doing it because Congress wants to keep thousands employed in the right zip codes (as the article makes clear).
I think that Comey and Lynch should be impeached. Both the Clintons and Obama corrupt everything they come in contact with.
[Tuesday-morning update]
What did Obama know, and when did he know it? It’s becoming pretty clear that in order to find her guilty (which she was and is) they would have also had to expose his guilt. And we still don’t know if there was contact between Lerner and the White House, because of the IRS cover up.
…has its day in court. I suspect that it it were to get to even the current SCOTUS, it would lose. Like many of the other administration’s initiatives, this is lawless tyranny.
Why they are at least as moral as wages. This kind of irrationality is more than partly a consequence of the failure of the public-education system. Or its success, depending on one’s point of view.
I’d have a mite more sympathy for them if I didn’t remember how many of these people thought this was perfectly fine way to treat Sarah Palin eight years ago. I would never use those kinds of words to describe Hillary, but I’m perfectly comfortable describing the former Secretary of State as a corrupt incompetent serial felon and liar.
More Americans want it. Because the Left has succeeded in dumbing down the populace about the founding principles of the Republic. I agree with this:
…since the GOP will almost certainly hold the House — and looks like it’s got a good chance with the Senate — if you want one-party government you need to elect Trump. On the other hand, Trump’s so different from the Republicans in Congress that it would still be divided government, really. Which I personally find more of a comfort than a disappointment.
