The people at Flexport took a tour yesterday. A large part of the solution is (at least temporarily) deregulation. But it will be economically devastating if we don’t fix this soon.

Problem solved. This is kind of amazing. Petersen is a leader, and a hero.

So much for the cirrus-clouds-from-airplanes theory.
…is still not understood.

The latest SLS follies: This isn’t insane at all.
This is getting ridiculous. If I don’t want to sleep with a guy who thinks he’s a woman, it’s not because I’m “transphobic.” It’s because I am extremely heterosexual, and have not only zero, but negative interest in physically interacting with, or even looking at male genitals. Now if it’s an attractive woman who thinks she’s a man, that’s a different story, but it doesn’t seem like a good idea to engage in sexual relations with people who are funny in the head.
My business associate and former XCOR employee Dale Amon is doing an equity crowdfunding on his company in Las Cruces.
As with the Nanoracks/Lockmart one, there is no discussion of orbital location. It looks like Sierra has decided to team up.
[Tuesday-morning update]
OK, here’s a description from NASA Spaceflight. They clearly want to be co-orbital with ISS, but they say that they’ll be at a higher altitude. That doesn’t make sense, because if they aren’t at the same altitude, the nodes are going to drift apart and while they’ll be at the same inclination, they will be in a different orbit plane. They should be leading or trailing it at the same altitude if they want to stay co-planar.
Is it constitutional?
I don’t think so. I’d love to see SCOTUS take it up.
Thoughts from John Hindraker. It was clearly an accident, and we don’t have all the facts yet, but it could be negligent homicide. Baldwin is responsible not just as the puller of the trigger, but as the producer on the set. And it’s another demonstration of how people who want to ban guns are ignorant of them and their safe use.
