Safety At NASA
Phil McAlister recalls an event from a decade ago. This was about the time that I published the book (hard to believe it’s been that long).
I’m not convinced that the ASAP contributes to safety in sufficient ratio to how it slows things down.
Harris Or Trump
Can the West survive four years of either?
For all his myriad flaws, I think we’ll be much better off with him.

Did Israel just get permission to retaliate against Iran from a (not so) surprising source?

Since it’s become an issue in comments, I think that this X post is relevant.
I worked in the White House with John Kelly, and I don’t believe a word he says.

How to solve the problem with the military:
I’ve had a number of people ask me what I think happened that caused our senior military leadership to go from being the most respected institution in America to being a bunch of banana republic narcissistic self-serving politicos.

This is my favorite lane of propaganda to debunk. There is no proof that the 2020 election was stolen except:

One day, people will look back on this day and view it in the same light as we now consider the driving of the golden spike that completed the transcontinental railroad. This technology will open up space to settlement and humanity in the same way the iron horse opened the…
