What is the plausible worst case?
The Day The Dinosaurs Died
This is great science writing. And if this happened today, unlike an excess of plant food in the atmosphere, it probably really would wipe out humanity, or at least a great portion of it.
We could be looking a lot harder for these things, and learning how to deflect them, but Congress would rather build a big monster rocket.
The Democrats’ Identity Politics
A preview of what looks to be a popcorn-worthy and bloody primary battle among the crazy intersectional leftists.
The Age Of Vulcan
I’m glad to see the rocket starting to take shape, despite penny pinching from the parents, but that sure looks labor intensive.
Thorium
A long article on the reasons we’re not burning it in reactors, including a lot of comments from Kirk Sorensen.
Blue Origin
…has been working on previously undisclosed Space Act Agreements with NASA on a lunar lander. That would seem to be part of the puzzle of what’s been happening over the past several days.
The Southern Poverty Law(less) Center
It’s a terrible place to work, that does terrible work.
But the media will probably continue to rely on it.
The Space Council Meeting
Bob Zimmerman isn’t optimistic that NASA can break out of the status quo.
Free Inquiry
“Scientists” are horrified that colleges will have to respect free speech.
A Truth Commission
We need one for the Russia collusion set up:
…the most powerful individuals, institutions and interests in America conspired to set up a presidential candidate, and later president-elect, and later still President. Their goal? To defeat him in 2016; should he be elected, to prevent his taking office; and should he take office, to have him removed. And yet it’s precisely these people who accused (and, in many cases, still accuse) Mr. Trump of ‘stealing’ and ‘rigging’ an election, of ‘subverting our democracy.”’This is projection on an unimaginable scale.
Indeed. It also has to dig into the Clinton “investigation,” and see how high the abuse of power and obstruction of justice went.
