The forgetting of 911.
I think that Pearl Harbor remained much more foremost in peoples’ thoughts in 1962 than 911 does today, even though it wasn’t a living memory for the huge generation of Baby Boomers.
Thoughts on the fecklessness of the administration:
…is much worse than many understand.
Can’t hurt to pick up a big bag of pintos and rice at Costco.
Apparently, they may be more deadly for the Russians than for the Ukrainians.

The report is out from DIU.
I’ve only read the summary so far, but this may be the most forward-looking document on space that I’ve ever seen come from the federal government. It explicitly states that the national goal should be the development and settlement of space (it was edited by Pete Garretson). And note what doesn’t appear in the report: SLS. 😄
I’m cited in the report twice, and I may be doing some consulting for General Butow in the fall. DIU is expected to get a nice budget boost in October (unless there’s a CR), because they impressed the brass in Ukraine.
Why are we there?
