Holy crap.
[Wednesday-afternoon update]
SN5
It’s getting ready for the flight attempt. Watch it live.
[Update a while later]
Looks like another scrub; they’re detanking. Probably not today.
Antifa
…is the natural product of our educational system.
Fortunately, as noted there, the pandemic has done much to pop that bubble, and make people rethink the whole thing. To the degree that government funding is involved, we need to start funding students, not systems.
[Update a while later]
Woke colleges are an assembly line for conformity.
Get Out Of The Way, FDA
Yes, Trump should issue an executive order on this, except unfortunately, it would taint the concept.
The Butterfly Effect
Quantum physicists say “don’t sweat it.”
That’s good news, I guess, if we ever get time travel.
The Woke
Why they won’t debate you. As noted there, there is nothing liberal about them.
Woodrow Wilson
Yes, media, he was a Democrat. And it was the Democrats who started the Civil War and the KKK, media “fact checkers.”
It’s almost as though they don’t know any history, or are trying to rewrite it…
Dragon Returns
A reader emailed me, asking why I hadn’t mentioned this weekend’s return of Endeavour from ISS (it will be splashing down in about three hours). I replied that there wasn’t much to talk about; the entire mission has been utterly nominal. At this point, like Elon, I’m much more interested in Starship. It would be great if it can take its first flight on the same day that Dragon returns with crew, though.
[Noon PDT update]
They’re in the water, and SpaceX’s job is done. It appears to have been a perfect flight.
[Update at 1230 PDT]
Where the hell was the Coast Guard? How did those private boats get so close to the capsule? I can’t believe they didn’t set up a perimeter. Meanwhile…
Trump Was The Target
…of the Obama administration Russia probe.
Solar Flares
We may soon be able to predict them. That would be nice.
