Always good advice, in any field of endeavor. Sadly, it doesn’t happen that much in education these days.
I Want To Do Apollo Again
Nothing has changed in four years, except the name of the rocket.
The Post-War World
Has it turned into a pre-war one?
History, perhaps unfortunately, can’t give us a clear answer to the question of whether we face anything like another Great War. Looking into the rear view mirror can only tell you so much about the conditions ahead. Our situation today is different enough from that of a century ago to make renewed great power war much less than a certainty, but there are enough troubling similarities that we can’t rule the prospect out.
It’s an interesting analysis.
The Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy
Revealed. It’s always ironic to see all these rich leftists plotting to force the rest of us to spend our money on their pet projects.
Political Ideologies
Are they partly heritable? This seems related to Jonathan Haidt’s work
Space Colonies
Stadium Wave Theory
A fairly rigorous treatment, and correction of Michael Mann.
If You Take My Gun
“I will simply print another one.”
Clearly, the solution is to ban printers.
The Problem With Science
…is scientists:
Before I go on, I should note that my objection to Professor Weinberg’s essay is the stupidity and crudeness of its argument; I largely agree with his position about funding ambitious science. In fact, it is because I agree with his position on Big Science that the rest of his essay vexes me. His good point is wrapped in a wrongheaded and poisonous generality; it’s like serving an ice-cream sundae in a bowl shaped like Andrew Cuomo’s face.
Note also Weinberg’s ignorant bashing of ISS. It’s so funny that he thinks it’s about science.
Also read Charles W. Cooke’s appropriately pitiless (as Kevin says) take down of the Neil deGrasse Tyson cult. [Note, it’s behind a paywall]
“NASA Is Back With A Vengeance”
A regurtitated and unironic PAO release at the Huffington Post, UK.
I love all these references to the “most powerful rocket” ever. It’s like the agency is being run by Tim the Tool Man Taylor.
