There’s a workshop at JPL today and tomorrow (I’m doing a presentation there tomorrow morning), so blogging will probably be light or non-existent.
[Update a few minutes before I leave]
The Humans2Mars conference starts today in DC. There is so much stuff going on in space that it’s hard to cover it all in person, even if I had the travel resources. Follow @jeff_foust and Pat Host (@Pat_DefDaily). It’s also live streaming.
[Update before I’m out the door to Pasadena]
Humans2Mars has issued its first annual report. That’s the first I’d heard that Mike Raftery had left Boeing.
This would be a shocking development, if so many who opposed the legislation hadn’t predicted it:
A poll of over 2,000 emergency room doctors shows that visits to ERs have increased, and in precisely the population that ObamaCare advocates claimed they would decrease and reduce costs.
If they don’t know why the explosion occurred, they won’t be able to fly until they figure it out. Also, if I were NASA, I’d still be nervous about the May 26th Soyuz flight.
#ExplorationDelendaEst No, it’s not an engine designed for “human space exploration.” It’s an engine designed for human spaceflight. I had a mini-rant about this at Space Access Saturday. #
As I noted on Twitter, there’s a visceral hatred of her by many in the tech community, even among people otherwise willing to vote for a Republican. But she’ll make a good attack dog on Hillary.
If I had to choose between Carly Fiorina and a robot infused with Hitler’s DNA running under the slogan "KILL ALL HUMANS"…I’d vote robot.
It’s not just police unions — public-employee unions in general are an abomination. The teachers’ and prison-guard unions are a huge part of the disaster that is California government (not to mention its educational system). Roosevelt had the right idea in wanting to make them illegal.
It was great to see everyone at Space Access after the hiatus last year. It was also nice to see quite a few enthusiastic young people. More thoughts anon, but I’m beat from the drive, and insufficient sleep.
