This Facebook page makes me weep for our future.
The Latest SpaceX Video
The view from the barge.
Looks to me like it may have suffered damage to legs from hard twisted landing, and the thruster could only hold it up for so long.

ULA’s Reuse Plans
Aviation Week has the details from the announcement at the Space Symposium earlier this week.
What Is It About “Progressives”?
…that makes them think it’s OK to ignore the law?
The country is in serious trouble when only one third of a major political party thinks that having a dictatorial president is a problem. Of course, if that president was George Bush, instead of the Lightworker, they’d probably think differently.
I’m one of those crazy people who think we should actually follow the Constitution. I thought that George W. Bush should have been impeached, or at least censured as a warning shot, for signing the “assault weapons” banMcCain-Feingold. Not for signing it per se — presidents sign unconstitutional laws all the time, sadly, but for doing so while openly admitting that he thought it was unconstitutional. In so doing, he violated his oath of office to defend the Constitution, which is everyone’s responsibility, and it can’t be punted to the Supreme Court.

California’s War On Young Men
If I were a young man, I’d go to college in some other state.

Hillary’s Lesbian Hook Ups
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if this was true. Bill was once famously quoted as saying that she had “eaten more p**sy than I have.” And despite the lurid nature of its stories, National Enquirer usually has it right (e.g., they were on to John Edwards’ affair long before any other news outlet wanted to talk about it). They’ve only been successfully sued for libel once, AFAIK.
By itself, it wouldn’t be a factor in my vote, but it will for a lot of people. Particularly since it would be just one more thing she’s being secretive about.
The Armenian Genocide
…was also a jihad.
Makes sense.

Gywnne says that the next landing attempt may be on land.
Today’s EPA Hearing On The Hill
I listened to some of it. Here is Judith Curry’s prepared testimony, and here are Moynihan’s live tweets.
The Democrats were sufficiently unhappy that they abandoned the hearing before it was over. They can’t handle the truth.
[Update in the afternoon]
Before he walked out, Professor Curry assisted one of the Democrats in beclowning himself.

Post-hearing thoughts from her. I agree that the economist’s testimony was valuable, too. They basically told the Democrats that what the EPA plans to do would hit the poor hardest. Which is absolutely true.
