Scott Pace gave an important speech that is sure to upset many in the international space community at the Galloway Symposium a couple weeks ago. Laura Montgomery comments.
Speaking of Henry Hertzfeld, every time I see him, for over a couple decades now, we argue about the viability of reducing the cost of launch through reusability of rockets. I wonder what he’s thinking these days?

Top FBI lawyer reassigned. Ann Althouse interprets the story, because it makes little sense on its face.
Richard Fernandez writes that Obama was betrayed by time.
And we were betrayed by him and Valerie Jarrett.
I haven’t seen everything, so I can’t say for sure that this is the stupidest, most ignorant take on it, but it will do until something dumber comes along.

Meanwhile, a much smarter take from Sarah Cruddas.
