See you Sunday night or Monday.
Lileks has a bad case of it, and rejoices in it.
Clark Lindsey is disappointed that Dennis Tito hasn’t followed through on his pledge to invest in space tourism, and cites his congressional testimony:
He declared that the “only big problem that stands before myself and others who want to do this is the regulatory risk.
The Space Shuttle Challenger was destroyed, with all aboard. Here’s a vivid remembrance of the event, from someone who was there.
