And NASA isn’t covering itself in glory here, either.

I was in the same room with Nye a couple nights ago, at a reception. I felt like I needed a safe space.
Tory Bruno and Gwynne Shotwell have very different space-business philosophies. I think that Gwynne is right, but the good news is that for now, the two companies are more complementary than competitive. And the Air Force will want to continue to maintain two providers.
New documents show conclusively that she knew from the beginning it was a terrorist attack, despite her bald-faced lies about the video to the families on the tarmac. This will, and should be a campaign issue.

Meet the foodie censors.
I wish we could make this more of a mainstream story.

You may recall that I signed up for it, instead of TSA Pre-check, because it included expedited customs (though I don’t travel that much internationally), and only costs $15 more. I’ve been provisionally approved after only two or three weeks, but I can’t get an interview until JUNE 27th. So a) I have to make sure I’m in town that day and b) I have to continue to hope for random TSA Pre-check until then.
Sigh.

But I’m amused to see how rife with fraud the movement is.
