Is it a suicide mission?
Even if it’s extremely dangerous, with a very high probability of not surviving it, I think that’s a gross mischaracterization. A suicide implies a plan to do something that will intrinsically result in death, not take high risks for some other goal.
Looks like John Hindraker is trying to get himself sued. Of course, he’s a lawyer.
And speaking of Professor Mann, Steve McIntyre has eviscerated him yet again.
Yet another space property rights piece, at The New Republic. My take is here and here.
Nice to see that the latter is what you get if you’re feeling lucky on Google with “space property rights.”
Is it time to stop worrying about them?
I think so. I still measure it, but I don’t really care about total. Since I went partially paleo, my ratio’s good, and my triglycerides are almost unmeasurable. I’m sure as hell not going to take statins to get it down.
It used to be that Canadians headed south of the border to get quality care. Now Californians are doing it.
…reminds us of why he was such a terrible candidate.
A businessman should know better.
There’s something about Harry:
The Editors would like to extend our condolences to Senator Harry Reid and his family as they go through this difficult time. While we can only guess at the exact nature of the psychiatric or neurological trauma the Senate majority leader has suffered, we assume that it is severe, judging by his symptoms, the most prominent of which is his new habit of taking to the Senate floor to deliver speeches that sound like they ought to be coming from a man wearing a bathrobe in front of a liquor store in Cleveland.
Seriously, I do wonder if the blows he took to the head as a boxer have finally caught up with him. If I were a Democrat, I’d be mortified to have this creature running the senate.
It got derailed by the space industrial complex.
…takes on the Chinese over The Big Bang Theory being banned in China.
Any government program that has a plan for fifteen years out shouldn’t be taken very seriously. If they really wait that long, they’ll likely be greeted by the concierge at a Bigelow facility. You don’t build a “colony” with a humungous expensive expendable launch system.
