Virgin Galactic’s Engine Issues
George Whitesides responds to Tom Bower’s accusations (sort of), and Doug Messier analyzes.
I’ll simply repeat my long-standing belief that hybrids have been dramatically overhyped. If VG is smart, they’ll be trying to migrate away from them as quickly as possible.
The Real War Against Women
..comes from the Left.
And of course, they’re equal opportunity. They’re waging war against men as well. Anyone who doesn’t toe the leftist party line.

No, it’s not going to go under from this frivolous and meritless lawsuit.
Low-Carb Diets

Prince Charles
More fool than king.
