We’re driving up to Salt Lake City for the Smallsat Conference. Staying in Mesquite, NV tonight, then Park City for the first half of the week. I’ll have laptop, but not sure how much posting I’ll be doing. Comments are open.

Is it making us and our culture sick?
Space Transportation Policy
The president has issued a memorandum. I’m skimming it right now, but new policy was definitely needed with the upcoming planned cadence of launch, landing, and entry.
Forty Years Of Foresight
I’ve known Eric for almost half a century, and Chris for forty years. My colleague Jim Bennett, another founder, is also briefly shown.
American Shipbuilding
…is back, despite the Jones Act.
Data Centers
Thoughts from Jeffrey Carter.
This resistance to building them down here is probably going to help industrialize space.
What Rubber Hits The Road
When the state determines it.
Tire dealers in Nevada and Arizona are clicking their champagne glasses. I’ll bet that there will also be a lot of Amazon deliveries.
California doesn't do these things for "efficiency", and the cost increase isn't an unfortunate side effect…it's the whole point. CA leaders deliberately make driving financially painful with the goal of forcing you onto public transport. They brag about it in legislation. https://t.co/PUjhkJwt2N

Bombs, Burnt Beef, And The $20 Burrito
To think that absent obvious voter fraud, Los Angeles could have had the opportunity to vote for this guy as mayor.

The DSA’s Achilles Heel
How to destroy them, and humiliate El-Sayed.
And then, sadly, there’s this:
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have been on an impressive winning streak. From New York City to Los Angeles, it’s the biggest story in politics since you-know-who descended from a golden escalator in 2015. But every now and then, the DSA hits a roadblock.
And when they do, have you noticed that it’s almost NEVER because of economic pushback?
As a lover of free markets and capitalism, I wish it wasn’t so. I wish defending free markets was a winning issue for the GOP — and a galvanizing message for the electorate.
I wish the American people were economically literate.
But they’re not. (And they won’t be ‘til we invest in an educational campaign.) Unfortunately, calling a socialist a socialist doesn’t move the needle anymore.
Yes, as I’ve often said, our disastrous Marxist educational system is the greatest threat to the Republic.
