…has its day in court. I suspect that it it were to get to even the current SCOTUS, it would lose. Like many of the other administration’s initiatives, this is lawless tyranny.

A New Suborbital Vehicle
I don’t think that vertical takeoff, horizontal landing is the best way to go. Anyway, I’ll believe it when I see it.
[Update a while later]
Bad link is fixed now, sorry.
Faster Ethernet
The new standard that pushes 5 Gb/s through Cat 6.
The Southern San Andreas
Is it about to blow?
While it would be pretty devastating, because of the distance, it wouldn’t affect LA as much. The one I worry about is a smaller one, like a 7 on the Newport-Inglewood, just a few miles from the house. That was the one that did a lot of damage in Long Beach in the thirties.
The Crisis In Space Science
What looks to be an interesting paper from Martin Elvis, an astrophysicist who groks private spaceflight.
Cassandra Peterson
Haven’t watched Elvira in decades, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen her without makeup. Or at least that makeup. Still looking pretty good.
Fixing Fractures
With 3-D printed bone. Faster, please. Why should it wait five years for human trials?
Political Correctness
Without it, we might not have a terror problem at all.
My confidence in the FBI is pretty much zero at this point.
[Update a few minutes later]
Speaking of the FBI, nothing that Comey says about the Clinton investigation makes any sense. Well, if you assume the fix was in from the beginning (as she told Brett Baier), it does.

From (Democrat, AFAIK) Jonathan Turley:
Of all of the individuals who would warrant immunity, most would view Mills as the very last on any list. If one assumes that there may have been criminal conduct, it is equivalent to immunizing H.R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman in the investigation of Watergate.
Why, it’s almost as though there was no intent to seriously investigate.
This is gangster government, and it will only get worse if she gets into the White House. At least Trump will be more likely to be reined in by Congress (perhaps even impeached and removed).
[Update a few more minutes later]
Good question, from a smart prosecutor: “What more would she have had to do to get you to prosecute her?”
Improvements On Elon’s Mars Plans
This won’t be the first take on it, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. He worries too much about Martian winds, though.
[Noon update]
Is Elon Musk this generation’s von Braun?
National Coffee Day
This is the only reason I choke down the swill every morning. It’s totally on faith.
It’s also worth noting (as I’ve long suspected) that there does seem to be a genetic component to its effects, which is probably why I a) don’t like the stuff and b) it has no discernible effect on me.
