The question is whether or not they’ll insist on another uncrewed test flight before putting in crew. Given the cost of an Atlas V, I’d be inclined to say no, given that this failure wouldn’t have resulted in loss of crew. Worst case for a crewed flight would be failure to dock, which would just mean a mission abort back to White Sands. But as we all know, SAFETY IS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY.

John Brennan (someone else who should be wearing orange) says that the FBI were “doing their level best.”

Schiff town hall erupts into cries of “liar” and “treason.” They’re not wrong. Unfortunately, his seat is probably safe in that district, which is why he can get away with this.
I’m encouraged that he wants to emphasize science and technology. This could create some useful Anglospheric alliances in space, particularly if he sets up a Royal Space Force.

He’s going after the Beeb. That would be amazing if he could get rid of that pack of leftist hacks.
