…may slow or reverse aging in skin.
Sounds good to me, if there are no side effects.

There may be reasons not to eat organ meat, but sat fat and cholesterol are not one of them:
While there is new research questioning the role of dietary cholesterol and saturated fat in heart disease, there are still decades of research suggesting that they may be contributing factors. And the American Heart Association hasn’t changed its recommendation that saturated fat be kept at less than 5-6 percent of daily caloric intake.
The American Heart Association has (at best) its head up its fundament.
For years, it was understood that NASA wanted new Dragons for its CRS missions. But today SpaceX is going to fly a used one, with the agency’s permission.
As I’ve long said, there will come a point at which a launch customer will say, “Wait, you want me to trust my ass or my payload to an unflown vehicle?” We’ll look back in amazement at the first seven decades of spaceflight, when we thought it made perfect sense to put payloads on untested systems, and then throw them away after a single flight.

Note that NASA allowed this for a cargo mission. I’ll bet they’ll still want new capsules for crew for a while. Speaking of which, NASA is admitting that Boeing and SpaceX are going to have a hard time meeting the totally arbitrary LOC goal of one in 270. I love this:
“The number one safety-related concern for the program is the current situation with respect to the estimate of loss of crew,” Donald McErlean, a former engineering fellow at L-3 Communications and a member of the panel, said at the meeting. “The threshold values were considered to be challenging, and both contractors currently have a challenge to meet that precise number.”
Got that? They’re going to have difficulty meeting that “precise” number. As I noted in the book, the precision with which they calculate these utterly arbitrary numbers, given the state of knowledge about the system, is absurd. And this is the sort of thing that keeps us dependent on the Russians, when neither we nor they have any idea what their reliability or LOC number is.
…”scientists” zero:
…in a sense, the video doesn’t even refute the straw man it set up. It’s not that climate science consists only of models: obviously there are observations too. But all the attribution claims about the climatic effects of greenhouse gases are based on models. If the scientists being interviewed had any evidence otherwise, they didn’t present any.
When you can’t even knock down your own straw man, you don’t have much of an argument.
So how did the video do refuting Scott Adams’ cartoon? He joked that scientists warning of catastrophe invoke the authority of observational data when they are really making claims based on models. Check. He joked that they ignore on a post hoc basis the models that don’t look right to them. Check. He joked that their views presuppose the validity of models that reasonable people could doubt. Check. And he joked that to question any of this will lead to derision and the accusation of being a science denier. Check. In other words, the Yale video sought to rebut Adams’ cartoon and ended up being a documentary version of it.
They would appear to lack self awareness.
Eat fat to lose weight.
This is a huge loss to the space community. No word (yet) on how he died, but he was only twenty-nine or thirty years old. Some of us knew him since he was a kid. And my deepest condolences to Steve and his family. This has to be shattering to them.
[Tuesday-morning update]
Future leaders in space has set up a memorial fund. But I wonder if they have permission from the family?

FWIW…
We've set up a fund in memory of Matthew Isakowitz at https://t.co/UfjyAG5ebq & are working with his family to inspire the next generation https://t.co/ZHK1XiEEzs

When I was a kid, I wanted a really fast car, and it would still be fun, but I’m not willing to put a lot of effort into getting one.
From me, in a podcast with Anthony Colangelo.
Haven’t been posting much because I’ve been at the Space Tech Expo in Pasadena all week. I’ll be back tomorrow. I have been tweeting, though.
Ted Cruz is having a hearing on it tomorrow. Mark Sundahl warns against outright withdrawal, or ignoring the positive aspects of it.
I’m probably going to be at the Space Tech Expo in Pasadena, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to stream it.
