A New Yorker reporter gives it a try.
I haven’t read the whole thing yet.

OK, I did read it. I was amused to learn that he was hawking it at my own local Whole Foods. One concern I have is his use of seed oils. Canola has too much omega 6 for my health. I’d use olive instead, though it costs more. If you don’t use virgin, though, it doesn’t have to cost that much.
…reminds us of why he was such a terrible candidate.
A businessman should know better.
No, Joe, it didn’t help end the Depression. It extended it.
…has been scrubbed, due to a failed static-fire test today. Seems to be an umbilical problem.
Maybe next week.
[Update late morning]
Here‘s the full story. As as often the case, it’s a range constraint. I’m sure that’s one of the big motivations to go to Texas. I recall seeing Gwynne wandering the hall at an AIAA conference about eight years ago (when they were getting screwed over at Vandenberg) muttering, “I hate ranges, I hate ranges.”
Is now the time?
It seems like a very promising future, with a lot of converging technologies and trends.
From Beijing to CONUS? Under the Bering Strait?
I don’t think so.
I have no comment.

Why is Obama getting a pass on his climate lies?
Really, at this point, why does anyone believe anything he says any more?
Ten ways it could revolutionize it.
I really think we are on the verge of the most exciting era for human spaceflight since the sixties.
Why does the Left hate work?
Some on the right think this strategy is part of a grand plan. They see an increase in the number of Americans who are dependent on the federal government as beneficial to Democrats, who largely win the votes of those to whom they offer ever-higher benefits and welfare. I refuse to imagine that any such insidious thinking is behind the left’s refusal to embrace job creation.
I believe, instead, that it springs from a wide-spread lack of private sector experience. President Obama believes the government can right all wrongs – that’s the wellspring from which community activists derive their inspiration. It is a philosophy that has done great damage to this country in recent years – and we’re not out of the woods yet.
I think she’s too kind.
