The intellectual arrogance of this post is breathtaking.
For the record, I’m not a “denier,” I’m a skeptic, as are all true scientists. And I think that long before we die, society will come to its senses. It’s already started happening, when you see how low this issue is on most peoples’ agenda in the polls (close to the bottom).
…by the people who are always piously calling for it and lying about their opponents. As he notes at the end, I’m afraid it’s going to be a very ugly summer of leftist thugs.
…seems to be collapsing. Goody.
For the record, I think that these people are nuts. But it’s a good example of a recreation that is very hazardous, but that people are allowed to engage in without federal regulators looking over their shoulders. Why shouldn’t the same be true for spaceflight at this stage of the technology? I think that any of the serious vehicles currently under development (i.e., SS2, Lynx, Armadillo whatever) will be far safer than free diving or extreme mountain climbing.

Bad link, fixed now, sorry…
…Shut up.
Yes, CAIR continues to have too many friends in too-high places, particularly in the lapdog media.
Philip Klein remains skeptical, even after (or perhaps because of) today’s speech at CPAC. Here’s a word cloud of his speech.
Her campaign web site is up.
Pretty impressive. If she’d run in 2010, she might have beaten Giffords, and Giffords wouldn’t have been at the Safeway that fateful day meeting constituents.
Bill Whittle counts the ways.
…and the inexcusable distortions of the case by the media. Well, Obama lied about it to at the SOTU.
Thoughts from Eric Berger. NASA is going to remain a mess until actual accomplishments in space become more important than targeted job preservation. And I don’t expect that to happen any time soon, at least with the current political leadership (and I think that Santorum is likely to be a very bad president when it comes to space policy, as will Mitt).
