The Cap’n of the Clueless has a long post on Galileo, orbital mechanics, chaos theory, and space science in general, that’s worth reading if you have the time.

I’m going to be posting some of the email response to last week’s Fox column here tonight or tomorrow, but wanted to leave a placeholder for it so I have a permalink to put in this week’s column (which I’m just finishing up).

[Update on Thursday morning]

The new Fox column is up. It’s a slightly different version of this post from yesterday. Actually, it was displayed on the front page of the Views page, and in the archive yesterday afternoon, but the link was broken until this morning, but you can go read it now.

Unfortunately, I still haven’t gotten around to putting up the email responses I promised–check back in a couple hours. But the most entertaining (or at least the most vehement and hostile) ones are in the column itself.

Robert Zimmerman (no, not that one, the one who’s written a book or two about space) suggests, of all things, that perhaps the government should look to the private sector for space transportation. Imagine that!

I wonder if anyone in Washington is listening?

Can anyone imagine this happening with a French warship?

It makes me feel a little better about driving a BMW.
