As a demonstration that the web is a conversation rather than a lecture, Dwayne Day has inadvertently written a couple of interesting essays on military space in the comments section of this post.
Back To The Drawing Board
It looks like wormholes aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, when it comes to time travel. I’m kind of shocked. Does that mean they’re implying that Star Gate SG-1 and Deep Space Nine were fictional?
I guess that explains the low attendance by backward time travelers.
Joe Wilson Lied, Reason’s Credibility…
Well, didn’t die, but it’s tarnished a little, in my opinion. Whoever put together “Quick Hits” for Reason today isn’t very well informed on the Plame/Wilson leak case:
Has the Valerie Plame case morphed into a perjury or obstruction of justice case involving a high-ranking Bush administration official? The circumstances suggest it has.
It then cites this tendentious pile of myths by John Dean (gee, there’s someone with no axes to grind…), which breathlessly cites Wilson’s book about the evils of the Bush administration, and can’t wait for it to come out in paperback. Problem is, of course, that Wilson has been demonstrated to be a notable liar, on this and other subjects, and few people other than rabid anti-Bush partisans still seriously believe that this was an intentional outing of an agent, or “intimidation” by the Bush administration. I doubt if the judge in question believes it either.

“We Are The Payloads Of The Future”
I wholeheartedly agree with Peter Diamandis here:
Diamandis said that the wealth of individuals is rapidly increasing thanks to the evolving power of the Internet, and very shortly through breakthroughs in nanotechnology. Billionaires and multi-billionaires are making their own future happen, he said.

Catching Up
I’m still getting ready for a last-minute trip across the Atlantic, but Thomas James has a restorative tonic for Helen Caldicott’s ongoing idiocy about “militarizing space,” and Clark Lindsey has a lot of good stuff on the recent International Space Development Conference in Washington, DC.
Administrivia
I lost my internet connection on Thursday night, and only now got it restored. In addition, I’ve had a family problem come up that will necessitate a trip to Europe as soon as possible, so posting may continue to be sparse here for another several days.
