An interesting interview with George Whitesides, Executive Director of the National Space Society. I would point out, though, that NASA had nothing to do with GPS.
Remember The Hood
When a leader has been responsible for a military disaster in a misbegotten war, it’s time for him to resign.
Remembering
In the middle of a war in which some people say “support the troops by bringing them home,” crassly treating them as victims for cynical political purposes, it’s important on this Memorial Day to remember that it is not our job to protect them, but theirs to protect us, and how astonishingly bravely and selflessly they do it.
[Update a few minutes later]
Jules Crittendon has a roundup of Memorial Day links.
[Update at 1 PM CDT]
Michael Yon has some Memorial Day thoughts from Anbar province:
Q has already made it to Germany and is about to be flown home. CSM Pippin is on his way to Germany. Along the way, excellent groups like Soldiers
Getting Assimilated
Instapundit has some more on space tourism and commercialization. I think he’s becoming a space blogger!
The Impossible Dream
Treacher and Iowahawk debate how to make The View watchable. I have to go with the Hawk–can’t be done.
Au Revoir
Taking off from the conference to St. Louis for a family barbecue. Thoughts on the space conference later. Meanwhile Instapundit has a few more posts, with more to come, as does Jeff Foust. And Leonard David has an article about space diving, which may be a killer app for cheap suborbital vehicles like Armadillo’s.
The War In The Media
Lorie Byrd has an article about how Al Qaeda has made allies, witting or not, of the western press.
It’s Alive!
I just logged on for the first time since leaving Florida. I haven’t had my computer with me in the sessions until now, but Instapundit (with whom I had dinner and drinks last night) has been doing a little liveblogging of the conference, here and here.
Pete Worden, NASA Ames center director, is going to give a plenary speech in a few minutes, which will reportedly be initiated by his Second Life avatar.
Jeff Foust also has a bunch of posts over at Personal Spaceflight.
[Update]
Wireless connection sux. Probably no live blogging, and I have schmoozing to do. May check in later, but no promises.
