…to be left to the lawyers.
We’d probably have lost World War II if it had been fought under these kinds of constraints. And even if not, it would have taken longer, and cost many more lives.
“ELVs Suck”
Almost half a century after the first orbital launch by the Soviets, and in the wake of another failure of a supposedly “reliable” Russian launcher, Clark Lindsey has a brief, but appropriate rant about our national failure to develop reliable and low-cost access to space, a goal that NASA is not only doing very little about, but, by building yet another horrifically expensive throwaway, actually spending billions to delay.

Why I’ll Never Be A Saint
I’m fearless, in this regard, having spent my entire life to date in that state:
Mother Theresa’s confessions (if such a word could be used lightly given the context) similarly affirm Theology, that the greatest fear, or perhaps the greatest threat posed to believers, isn’t death, or evil, or something else, but the absence of God.
And never having had any ambitions toward beatification, I’m not going to lose any sleep over it. There has obviously been a lot of intellectual energy, and even occasional rigor involved in analyzing these issues over the centuries, but to me, it always reads like a dispatch from an alien planet. I worry more about cancer, cardiac problems, and terrorists getting nukes myself. But then, theology was never my strong suit.

Not Just For Robots Any More
Now, this is what I’ve been waiting for (well, at least until they come up with superior technology to replace it):
As reported in the London Daily Mail, Yacoub’s team harvested the stem cells and used a chemical cocktail to coax them into becoming heart cells. Placed on a “scaffold” made of biodegradable plastic, they grew and fused together to form discs of heart valve tissue just an inch wide. As the valves developed, the scaffold decayed, leaving behind solid tissue.
Yacoub, a professor of cardiac surgery at Imperial College London, noted: “Although there has been huge progress in developing mechanical replacements, they still work mechanically and not physiologically
Nobody Expects The Iowan Inquisition
Behold, the machine shed of horrors.
Should Larry Craig Resign?
David Bernstein makes some good points, but I think the real question is not, why should Larry Craig resign, but why shouldn’t most of the Senate? Of course, I’ve been asking that question for years.
