Developing Space
In which I am interviewed by SpaceTech Gulf.
[Late-morning update]
How Starship will change humanity.
It’s a similar theme to my piece from a couple years ago.
To Grow America
The Inhumanity Of The Green Agenda
They hate humanity, and they’ll do whatever they can to prevent the infection from spreading into the solar system.
Yes, Get Out Of Your Seat
The hed of this op-ed is misleading. No, you shouldn’t stand as soon as the plane lands; wait until you’ve arrived at the gate. But yes, if you’re on the aisle, you should be preparing yourself and helping others prepare to deplane, not sit in your seat until it’s time for you to actually move. I don’t understand the people who think that we should be slowed down by telling people to remain seated.
The End Of The Silicon Valley Dream
Reflections from Joel Kotkin.
Anti-DeSantis Imbecility
Yes, let’s move Disney from Florida to Puerto Rico.
I’d like to say that I’m disappointed that Trump and Trumpsters have signed on to this stupidity, for no other reason than that he’s mindlessly bashing De Santis as a rival, but I’m not really, nor am I surprised.
Ariane 6
This was perfectly predictable, and I (and others) predicted it. It was obsolete from its inception.
Starship Is Still Not Understood
I missed this the first time around, about a year and a half ago, but it parallels many of the points that I made in my piece at The New Atlantis about the same time.
[Update late morning]
Airbus seems to be getting serious about space. I don’t see how the centrifuge helps all that much, though. The radius is too small for significant gravity, though it would help a lot to put the plumbing in it.
How To Watch Starship
Some tips, and commentary from Bob Zimmerman.
[Monday-morning update]
OK, the guaranteed excitement didn’t happen today. But to be fair, the guarantee only applied if they actually got to T-0. Anyway, they should be able to resolve the pressurization issue for the next attempt.
