I went over to the beach in Manhattan Beach today, and met this guy running to replace Jane Harmon in a special election on Tuesday. I don’t know what his chances are — it’s a jungle primary with five Republicans, five Democrats, and several other parties. Anyone who gets a majority wins outright, but if no one does, then there will be a runoff in a couple months between the two highest vote getters. I suspect that long-time state Senator and Democrat Debra Bowen will likely win, or at least get in the runoff, with the win coming in the next race. But we’re headed for redistricting, under a relatively impartial process, so the district may become more competitive for Republicans (it used to be, back in the eighties), and this race is good practice for novice candidates like Eisele.

Does Schulte really believe that you can impact satellites without creating debris?

I think that we need to start getting creative about how to disable satellites without smashing them to pieces.
