The Latest SLS Travails
Every time I read a status on the thing, I’m struck by just how terrible a design this is. They couldn’t have come up with a better way of wasting money and time ad infinitum. And people in comments are rooting for a catastrophe. Hard to disagree with them.
What Was Old Is New Again
Will we return to privately funded exploration, for space?
It’s much more likely than NASA going anywhere.
How Space Can Aid Human Flourishing
An interview with Bob Zubrin.
Off To Music City
We’re flying to Nashville today, where I’m going to be on a panel on commercial space with Bob Poole and Katherine Mangu-Ward on Friday morning as part of Reason Weekend (it used to be in Orange County, but…). Then we’re spending a few days in the Smokies. I’ll have a laptop with me, though, so I won’t be incommunicado.
Private Space Stations
A good overview from Jeffrey Kluger.
Gray Dragon On Falcon Heavy
A notional alternative to SLS/Orion for Artemis.
Ukraine And The Global Space Industry
This looks to be an interesting event.
The Latest FAA Delay
From Reddit.
Some think that the latest one-month delay is good news, indicating that the FAA is really trying to make it happen ASAP. We’ll see.

DARPA is supporting development of some useful technologies. Just think where we might be if just a fraction of the money poured down the SLS rathole had gone into this sort of thing.
