Doing touristy things. We’ll go see the fort, but I’ve been to too many big ones in the Caribbean (e.g., El Morro, Jefferson) to be impressed, at least gauging by the exterior. Posting will be sparse/intermittent until tomorrow night.
I Hate When
The Next Fifty Years In Space
Alan Boyle has a link-rich roundup.
The Good Old Days
Remember when Al Gore was castigating George Bush for ignoring Saddam’s ties to terrorism? Gee, I wonder what changed?
Calculating and cynical? Democrats? How can you think such a thing?
[Update late morning]
When is Al Gore going to apologize to George Bush and the nation for lying about Saddam’s ties to terrorism?
Sounds Like An Insurance Policy
Apparently, the Dutch government was willing to provide security to Ayaan Hirsi Ali only as long as there was no threat to her.
On Terry Jones And Sputnik
I agree with Mr. Jones; Human nature is immutable, damn the luck
More On Hillary’s Space Policy
Space Politics has three posts, with a lot of commentary, here, here and /here.
Also, the Carnival of Space for the week is up.
[Update at 10 AM]
Keith Cowing notes that this is the most any presidential candidate has had to say about space policy in a long time (perhaps in memory). Whatever you think about what she said, that’s probably right.

One More Sputnik Link
Charles Krauthammer has some thoughts on the day after the anniversary (many of which were similar to mine, but some different), this morning. Also, check yesterday’s post and scroll to the bottom for some late-night updates, if you didn’t already.
[Update at 10 AM]
Here’s a Sputnik link I missed yesterday, from Michael Belfiore. He notes another anniversary, that I thought about writing something about, but didn’t get the time. Also, it’s a little disappointing (though not entirely unexpected) that three years later, we haven’t made more progress.
