Mark Whittington continues to foolishly confuse an off-hand off-teleprompter remark with policy. There is now, and never has been any “policy” for us to not return to the moon. Yesterday wasn’t the first time Lori has said we are going back, and it won’t be the last, and the White House doesn’t give a rat’s, either way. Nor will a Romney administration.
In Case You Were Wondering
I was at Space 2012 most of the day in Pasadena, sans laptop. In theory, I can blog from my phone, but it’s very clumsy (linking is a real pain). I did see Colin Ake there (among many others) and expressed my condolences on the Masten mishap. He told me their next vehicle (which is designed to go to a hundred kilofeet) is standing up on the floor in the shop, and might be able to fly in the next two or three months. I guess they’ll have more time to work on it now that they won’t be doing as much flight test for a while…
Some Advice For Barack Obama On Egypt
From Instapundit:

The Eleventh September Eleventh
I don’t really have anything new to say, but Glenn has a link roundup.
Obama’s iPhone Flub
Some thoughts on the unjustified arrogance of The One. He really is insufferable. Again, I have no idea why people find him “likable.” I never have, except in that one speech in 2004.
“None Of The Above”
…should be on every ballot.
The Value Of A College Education
Here is a poster child for it. Note that, like the president, she blames everyone but herself.
First Chick-Fil-A
…and now Clint Eastwood.
Go see the movie for him. Make if one of his biggest hits ever.
An Alternate History Of The Space Program
From Mike Griffin.
I wonder what color the sky is on that planet? I’d fisk it, but I’m trying to finish up my space safety paper, and I’m getting ready to go to the AIAA conference in Pasadena tomorrow (and possibly Wednesday and Thursday, depending on how useful it seems).
A Fake Romney Quote
…and the Left falls for it. Of course they do.
