Biting Commentary about Infinity, and Beyond!

New Space Blogger

Brian Swiderski has taken our advice, and started a blog on space. Like most of his previous commentary on space (and little of his "progressive" commentary on anything else), it's worth a read. It could be particularly useful for him and Ferris Valyn to educate the left on the benefits of space and spaceflight, and shoot down a lot of the egregious nonsense about it from that sector, by people who can speak their language:

Everything is a playground for the rich--that's why most people find becoming rich desirable. However, in this case "conspicuous consumption" may result in a virtuous circle of cost reductions and greater investment, which would increasingly open space to the general public. To have the wealthy pay for the infrastructure of future generations is at the core of progressive economic values, and it makes little sense to be offended when doing so occurs voluntarily.

Be sure to check out the link to the Apollo 12 Lunar Excursion worksheets. It only took two flights to get Playboy Playmate pictures on the moon!
