How we could have better spent the money spent on the F-35.
The SLS costs are BS, though. If you really wanted to colonize the moon, you could actually get a lot more bang for the buck than this.

Really, Robert Redford? Really?
Here‘s what I had to say about the idiot Mary Mapes at the time:
…some of them (unlike you, apparently) were smart enough to call the fax number on the memo, and determine that it came from a Kinko’s in Texas. And though there was in fact analysis of what the documents actually said, which also helped torpedo them, it was in fact enough, Mary. It’s hard (perhaps impossible) to prove that a document is authentic, but it only takes one solid strike against its validity to show it to be inauthentic. And the fact that you still don’t understand that, or understand basic logic at all, is why you are now out of a job, and should never have had that job to begin with.
This isn’t merely “stuck on stupid.” This is turned all the way up to eleven on stupid.
It’s amazing that there are still fools who want to defend these people.
Is it a hoax?
It wouldn’t surprise me. I think all this outlawing of plastic bags is silly.
Always good advice, in any field of endeavor. Sadly, it doesn’t happen that much in education these days.
Nothing has changed in four years, except the name of the rocket.
Has it turned into a pre-war one?
History, perhaps unfortunately, can’t give us a clear answer to the question of whether we face anything like another Great War. Looking into the rear view mirror can only tell you so much about the conditions ahead. Our situation today is different enough from that of a century ago to make renewed great power war much less than a certainty, but there are enough troubling similarities that we can’t rule the prospect out.
It’s an interesting analysis.
Revealed. It’s always ironic to see all these rich leftists plotting to force the rest of us to spend our money on their pet projects.
Are they partly heritable? This seems related to Jonathan Haidt’s work.
“I will simply print another one.”
Clearly, the solution is to ban printers.
…is scientists:
Before I go on, I should note that my objection to Professor Weinberg’s essay is the stupidity and crudeness of its argument; I largely agree with his position about funding ambitious science. In fact, it is because I agree with his position on Big Science that the rest of his essay vexes me. His good point is wrapped in a wrongheaded and poisonous generality; it’s like serving an ice-cream sundae in a bowl shaped like Andrew Cuomo’s face.
Note also Weinberg’s ignorant bashing of ISS. It’s so funny that he thinks it’s about science.
Also read Charles W. Cooke’s appropriately pitiless (as Kevin says) take down of the Neil deGrasse Tyson cult. [Note, it’s behind a paywall]
