I’d been aware of their plans for large-scale activity in cislunar space (and even talk about it in the monograph), but this is the first I’d heard that they are offering to purchase water in space, with a price for various locations.

Sort of related: Seeing on Twitter that they’re laying people off today. Not sure what that means.
[Afternoon update]
Here’s the story at the Denver Post. Looks like about 10% company wide. A literal decimation.
Yes, ideology, not climate change or “Islamaphobia” or racism or poverty or the NRA causes terrorism.
Thoughts from Eric Berger, which I missed last week due to the funeral and the conference.
From my monograph:
NASA gave up on reusability a decade ago, when Mike Griffin selected Constellation, with its expendable launch systems, capsule, insertion stages and landers. It could in fact be argued that Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) gave up on it after it was given responsibility for it in the 1990s, which it turned into the failed X-33 program, which failure the center then used as an excuse to illogically claim that reusability didn’t work.
One tech I didn't recommend that NASA develop for Mars: Low-cost access to space. Private sector is already taking care of that.

…is angry at democracy.
Again.
This is all to distract from the fact that the EU is a failure.

If the EU ends, Merkel will have herself to blame.

“Vote properly, you virulent racist!”
Call me crazy, but I’ve never found being called a racist or a xenophobe or a homophobe or an Islamaphobe or an anythingphobe a very compelling argument.
Rediscovering them.
We’re not running out of anything on earth any time soon. That’s no reason not to open up off-planet resources, though.
New documents show she almost certainly broke the law.
But the laws are apparently only for enemies of the state.

Related: Benghazi lies were just standard procedure under Obama. Lies in general are standard procedure under Obama. And there’s never any accountability or consequence. They got him re-elected.

Also related: Hillary’s email story continues to get more and more difficult to believe. Because it’s lies all the way down.
The latest batch of emails suggest that Clinton’s filter to decide between the personal and the professional was far from foolproof. That these emails never saw the light of day before Monday — or before a conservative legal advocacy group petitioned for their release — opens up the possibility that there are plenty more like them that Clinton chose to delete but shouldn’t have. And it provides more fodder for the Republican argument that Clinton appointing herself as judge, jury and executioner for her emails was, at best, a very, very bad decision and, at worst, something more nefarious than just bad judgment.
Gee, ya think?
Is it finally about to run off the tracks? Let’s hope.
An easy fix.
The Democrats would be all in favor if the junior justice was a Republican appointee, but double standards.
…and people died. A roundup of Benghazi-report links from Instapundit.
Look to the Left.
As always.
