A New Yorker reporter gives it a try.
I haven’t read the whole thing yet.

OK, I did read it. I was amused to learn that he was hawking it at my own local Whole Foods. One concern I have is his use of seed oils. Canola has too much omega 6 for my health. I’d use olive instead, though it costs more. If you don’t use virgin, though, it doesn’t have to cost that much.
…reminds us of why he was such a terrible candidate.
A businessman should know better.
There’s something about Harry:
The Editors would like to extend our condolences to Senator Harry Reid and his family as they go through this difficult time. While we can only guess at the exact nature of the psychiatric or neurological trauma the Senate majority leader has suffered, we assume that it is severe, judging by his symptoms, the most prominent of which is his new habit of taking to the Senate floor to deliver speeches that sound like they ought to be coming from a man wearing a bathrobe in front of a liquor store in Cleveland.

It got derailed by the space industrial complex.
…takes on the Chinese over The Big Bang Theory being banned in China.
Any government program that has a plan for fifteen years out shouldn’t be taken very seriously. If they really wait that long, they’ll likely be greeted by the concierge at a Bigelow facility. You don’t build a “colony” with a humungous expensive expendable launch system.
No, Joe, it didn’t help end the Depression. It extended it.
…has been scrubbed, due to a failed static-fire test today. Seems to be an umbilical problem.
Maybe next week.
[Update late morning]
Here‘s the full story. As as often the case, it’s a range constraint. I’m sure that’s one of the big motivations to go to Texas. I recall seeing Gwynne wandering the hall at an AIAA conference about eight years ago (when they were getting screwed over at Vandenberg) muttering, “I hate ranges, I hate ranges.”
An analysis from Randall Munroe.
Is now the time?
It seems like a very promising future, with a lot of converging technologies and trends.
