I don’t know if it will be webcast, but I’m going to be giving a talk tomorrow morning in Pasadena, as part of the final plenary of the Mars Society meeting.
[Update Sunday afternoon]
I think the talk went OK. The crowd was smaller than I expected; I think that the Mars conference in DC has pulled a lot of the audience that Bob used to get for his Mars Society meetings. I called people in the audience “mutant weirdos,” and made a lawyer joke.

Time to let go of the reins?
He has Gwynne to run SpaceX for him, but there doesn’t seem to be anyone like that at Tesla. And his behavior has been quite erratic of late.
Eric Berger has this week’s round up.
I will say that I’ve never been very concerned about competition from China, but now that they’ve allowed commercial companies to engage, we may start to see a lot of innovation there.
An interview with Phil Metzger, including the most recent findings, on how to utilize it.
This is just nuts. I hope he’ll come back to Twitter.

More PC stupidity: The sins of the father shall be visited on the child.
A lot of nutrition mythology in this.
No, you won’t get a coronary from eating fried food, or if you do, it’s not because it’s fried, or has saturated fat. Probably the least unhealthy of these is the fried cheesecake, because at least it has additional sat fat in it, along with protein. The others are basically fried sugar and flour. And at least adding the fat mediates to some degree. Also, counting calories is stupid.
Marina Koren has a nice history of religious allusions in space speeches.
Bob Zimmerman says that the swamp is winning, big league.
Most of the emails were never examined.
This is my shocked face. These people should be doing time.
On the anniversary, my fellow defendant Mark Steyn remembers the last time a president was (entirely justifiably) impeached.
And as I typed this, I just realized that I forgot to commemorate the sixth anniversary of that infamous Blog Post which resulted in the never-ending lawsuit against me, CEI, National Review, and Mark (though he is now eager to go to trial having made a lot of money selling a book against the plaintiff). And it’s been over two years since our request for an en banc appeal, with no ruling from the DC Circuit.
