Color footage of D-Day and the invasion of Europe has been discovered. Seeing it in color really does “color” our perception of that era.
And Bill Whittle has a video making the same point.

Europa
The IG has released its report. Bob Zimmerman is (as usual) unimpressed with our betters in Washington.
Culberson losing his seat may have been the death knell for this mission, at least as it has been planned so far. I think Enceladus is more interesting, anyway, at least from the standpoint of looking for life. I hope that Yuri Milner follows through on that.
Galaxy’s Edge
I’m not sure I’m sufficiently into Star Wars to want to engage in audience participation.
LEO Commercialization
NASA has released the study summaries.
They Don’t Know Clouds At All
But maybe they can get better at modeling them. Our lack of ability to model clouds to date is one of the things that makes me a skeptic on climate alarmism.
Space Settlements
…will require a new policy direction.
You don’t say. I’ll be speaking at Steve’s Space Settlement Forum next week about property rights.
Hopper Tests
Climate Millenarianism
Thoughts on people like Greta Thunberg, with some history.
Cialis
Can it reverse heart failure in addition to its on-label use? That would be a nice bonus. I wonder what its effects on blood pressure are?
Home Improvement Conundrum
Posting is light because we’re doing things around the house this weekend. We just replaced the bedroom door (to the outside), and I’m replacing the threshold as well. The thing has an aluminum channel into which a rubber seal fits, after mounting it with screws. But you can’t put the screws in with the seal in place, and once it’s mounted, you can’t slide the seal into the channel (as the instructions say) because the ends are butted up against the door frame. All I can think to do is to shorten it so I have some clearance for inserting the seal, but then the ends won’t have channel, just seal.
[Update a while later]
OK, I figured it out. If I pinch the bottom flat part and bend it upward, I can squeeze the sides into the flange. I still don’t understand why the instructions say to “slide” it in, though.
