Would aliens on more massive bodies be trapped there by gravity?
I don’t know, isn’t that why God gave us stages?
Earth is an intelligence test: Small enough that leaving the planet with chemical rockets is possible, but big enough that it’s very very difficult. https://t.co/ofpo0k26xA pic.twitter.com/44w1AzVsFX

Though I guess it’s not a scandal, like all of Obama’s scandals weren’t scandals, because the media refuses to report it.
[Update a few minutes later]
Another story the media finds uninteresting: The Clinton campaign illegally laundered $84M.
Is it mathematically impossible?
I haven’t read the article in detail, but I doubt it. I suspect they’re going after a straw man.
I’ve never abandoned this blog, but I have been posting to it a lot less, for a number of reasons (less time, other outlets). I didn’t move to Facebook, but I do spend a lot more time on Twitter.
John Hinderaker says it was a mistake for conservatives to move from the web to social media. Glenn has also noted recently that the old days of blogging were a lot more free wheeling, with less ability of the left to control it. Anyway, I’ll try to do more here.
…is ignorance about school violence, that has resulted in more of it.
Along with the “liberals” on the court, he just struck a blow against it. As Will says, it would be nice to see the conservative justices see the light. But I suspect many conservatives will rail against him, calling him a “liberal,” “soft on crime and illegal aliens.”

This seems related: The SEC’s administrative judge scandal. I’d love to see this sort of thing struck down as unconstitutional. Same with the IRS tax court.
It’s not really news; I thought that Gwynne said they’d be doing this last fall, but it’s official. It will be built at the Port of Los Angeles.
[Update a while later]
A TED talk from Gwynne. About twenty minutes, but worth a listen.
Brian Weedon analyzes it, on Twitter.
It looks like a significant improvement over the current situation. It’s worth noting that in moving regulation to the Commerce Department, it could set the groundwork for a U.S. Space Guard. There have been times in history in which the Coast Guard was under Commerce.
[Late-morning update]
The Bridenstine era at NASA (finally) begins.
I think he’ll be one of the best administrators in recent history. I should add that Rubio’s (and others’, like Bill Nelson’s) statement that NASA should be run by a “space professional” are historically ignorant. Jim Webb was not a “space professional.”
Now I understand why Obama thought that Kanye West was “a jackass.” It’s because he doesn’t march in lockstep with the Left and the grievance industry.
[Monday-morning update]
On the other hand, Cathy Young isn’t impressed with Candace (to say the least).
Oh, sorry. Candace. I followed her activities at the time of her previous venture.https://t.co/tzK3xsYm5uhttps://t.co/01OSoc13T9https://t.co/5UBJo5EyDl

The data the CDC didn’t want you to see.
Didn’t fit the narrative.
