You did not “reopen NASA.” You make yourself look like a fool to anyone who knows what’s going on, but that’s not your base.
Big Falcon Rockets
…are falcon big. This is a cool video to give you a sense of scale.
DNS Rebinding
This seems like a potentially huge Internet security problem. You have to scroll down a ways to see what to do about it, and the instructions are a little…sparse. I’d want to protect both my Frontier router and my Orbi mesh.
Mark Sundahl
He’s going to be on The Space Show in a few minutes (2 PM PDT), talking about space law and space property rights. I’ll be interested to hear what he has to say.
BTW, just turned in the proposal to NASA this morning, so I’m sort of decompressing.
[Update a few minutes later]
Welp, five minutes past, and so far he’s a no show.
[Update a couple minutes later]
OK, sounds like they’re about to start now.
[Update toward the end]
Nice to hear him endorse the multilat idea I’ve been (and will continue to be) promoting.
Freeman Dyson
An interesting interview of one of the most fascinating men of the 20th century. I saw him at ISDC, and he is holding up well mentally, though he’s been physically frail for decades.
[Wednesday-afternoon update]
Well, the comments have certainly drifted on this one.
Blog Outage
I’d activated a plugin which was apparently causing the blog to display only post titles. I’ve fixed it now. Sorry about that.
The New Astronauts
Chris Davenport has an in-depth story on the coming age of American human spaceflight. I’d note that in the future, one will not need to learn to speak Russian to go into space. That will be a relic of a happily bygone era.
Jack Schmitt
As one of the few remaining moon walkers, I admire him, which is why it saddens me to see him regurgitating pro-SLS propaganda. I’m in the last throes of a proposal, or I’d take it apart, but maybe someone else will.
More Junk Nutrition “Science”
The “Mediterranean Diet” has been discredited.
Trump And Conservatives
John Hawkins has five weird things about being a conservative who doesn’t love Trump.
I’m not a conservative, but I agree with all.
Narrator: Both charities were profoundly corrupt. Both candidates were profoundly corrupt. https://t.co/bsZHUwmQre
