I’ll Have a Bloody Tongue
I scored a ticket to the VIP gala at KSC Saturday night, to celebrate the 49th anniversary of the first moon landing. I just found out I’ll be seated at a front table with commercial-spaceflight basher Walt Cunningham.
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez
She’s the best thing to happen to Republicans all year.
She really isn’t very bright.
[Late-afternoon update]
She calls for the occupation of airports.
Yes, please.
The Need To Settle Mars
A long essay, from James Poulos. I assume that this will be in the same issue mine and Zubrin’s will be.
[Update a couple minutes later]
Scratch that last. This was apparently in the Spring edition. Ours will be in the Summer edition.
Space Is Not A Global Commons
A Twitter thread from the U.S. representative to COPUOS.
A thread on why outer space is not a global commons! #spacelaw #globalcommons #spacepolicy
1) "Global commons" is an ill-defined term. Different people mean different things: some mean "area beyond territorial jurisdiction", others something political, regarding rights.

“I Was The Mob”
“…until the mob came for me.”
Strzok’s Smirk
Yes, he’s lying, and yes, he’s filth. And so are the people not just defending him, but praising him.
[Update a few minutes later]
Liz Sheld has more.
[Saturday noon update]
Denying the obvious doesn’t make it go away. What was breathtaking about his performance was not that he claimed that the bias didn’t affect his behavior; it was his insane claim that the bias didn’t even exist.
[Sunday-morning update]
More from Melissa Mackenzie:
The creepiest witness to ever grace a Congressional hearing, minced in his seat and evaded questions for hours on end Thursday. His name? Peter Strzok (pronounced “Struck” for the Democrats on the committee who kept mispronouncing it). The general impression from his testimony? What a complete weirdo. It is astonishing that someone so strange, supercilious and seemingly evil reached so high a position in law enforcement.
As I tweeted a few weeks ago, I’d have a lot more confidence in Mueller if the people telling me about his probity and character weren’t the same people who told me that about Comey. I have to wonder how many other Strzoks, Pages, Ohrs, McCabes et al are at the agency. I think it needs a thorough housecleaning.
