It’s not just a racist history. The policies advocated by the hoplophobes are murdering blacks in huge numbers today, in DC and Chicago.

Anyone who believes that this study is for real.
…but you can’t make him play with it.
And yet they continue to try to force him to. These people are nuts.
…are boring. Thoughts on Oliver Stone’s turgid new tome.
Here is a technical description. I’m reading through it now, so perhaps comments later.

Sorry, link is fixed now.
[Update late morning]
OK, I skimmed it. As one would expect, there’s a trade off between development costs and ops cost with regard to lander reusability. Ultimately, to get to low marginal costs, we have to not throw hardware away. I also wonder how much it would take to make the Centaur reusable over a period of months or years. They’ve got a start on it with the refueling scenario. Eventually, if one is getting propellant from the moon, that would make sense. I would have liked to see a trade between LLO and EML-1 or EML-2, though. It looks to me like they settled on LLO early on.
I’m amused that they have to defend their costs as being “too low.” They look high to me (a hundred million for training?), but I have vastly different expectations about these things.
Finally told. It’s a good read, but I think this probably isn’t right:
Firefighters from the Hickam Air Force Base carried the victims in. The men had a red T marked on their foreheads, mute testimony of the efficiency of first-aiders in giving tetanus shots to ward off lockjaw.
I suspect that it meant that they had tourniquets that had to be managed, not that they’d gotten tetanus shots.
I’d like to say only in America, but I can actually imagine the Taiwanese or Japanese doing it too. Not the Belgians, though.
I hope he takes them to the cleaners.
