The bad science and bad policy at the heart of it.
[Afternoon update]
Climate science is baaaaack.
This is one of the biggest (and most needed) regulatory rollbacks in history.
More from Ed Morrissey and Stephen Green.

Indicting Barack?
How it might be done.
One can dream.
After what Bongino said recently, I wonder if there is any possibility of getting at the truth of what happened during the Clinton administration, including the Foster “suicide,” even if no one is indicted?
[Afternoon update]
Definitely: Gina Haspel should be investigated for covering up the Russia-collusion hoax.
[Tuesday-morning update]
The Russia-collusion hoax was worse than you think.
IDK, I think it was pretty bad. On the other hand, I continue to think it hyperbolic to call it “treasonous.” Seditious, yes, but not that.
Happy Moon Day
I’ll be on The Space Show at noon PDT to talk about the 56th anniversary.
Starliner
A comprehensive rundown on its future, and that of Commercial Crew in general.
Two Billion Dollars?
Why would the National Space Council need that much money? What would they spend it on?
The NASA Budget Battle
Bob Zimmerman has the latest. Space policy will continue to be a mess until someone with vision for it is put into place (and probably even then). It’s not at all clear that Duffy knows which end the fire comes out of.
A Dyspeptic Futurist
Jeff Foust read what appears to be a dumb book so you don’t have to.
Rebuilding Pacific Palisades
Yes, we knew this was coming. And I too am happy to call it sinister.
Science Fiction
What if it’s our best window to the future? A discussion with David Brin.
He’s more down on lunar resources than I am, but I agree with his critique of Artemis.
The New Interim Administrator
Thoughts from Eric Berger on Sean Duffy’s additional job.
Unlike many on this platform, speaking as a space-policy expert, I have no idea whether it will hurt NASA to lose those 2000+ GS13-GS15 "senior executives," or if Duffy will be able to provide any more "leadership" than Janet Petro. I simply know too little about who they are.

[Afternoon update]
Speaking of interim administrators, here’s an interesting interview with Jared Isaacman.
