If SCOTUS upholds this, it can only be fixed with legislation. I expect SpaceX (and other people who want to build things) to go pedal to the metal now.

The launch industry is seeing the light (and in China as well). The biggest expendable we should expend is SLS.
A letter to Elon Musk.
I would love to see Milley recalled and court martialed, and stripped of all that nonsense chest candy.
More (a lot more) on Trump’s planned opening moves. It’s a good start. Worth noting, though, that he’s not actually going to be signing any laws on Day One.

They’re trying to get me to vote for him again (assuming I had the first time): Dismantling the FBI.
…has seriously damaged the moral realm.
I love how Biden and Harris congratulated Hitler on his victory last week. And how their acolytes, who thought he was Hitler, are confused after being told now, “Everything will be OK, we’ll have another election in a couple years.” It’s almost as though it was all a lie. Which blew back on them. Funny how telling people that they’re fascists, or garbage, or fascist garbage, doesn’t persuade them to vote for you.
Is it finished?
We can only hope. But it’s been around for over a century. Not sure what we need for a wooden stake.
Trent Telenko has the goods:
https://x.com/TrentTelenko/status/1855399210989834467I slept better last night than I have in quite a while. I wonder now if the election had been weighing on me. As in 2016, it’s as though a great weight has been lifted.
My immediate thoughts: Barack Obama doesn’t get his fourth term. All of that lawfare against Trump is probably moot now. And we won’t be hearing any more whining about the Electoral College, at least for the next four years or so, since he won the popular vote. And speaking of that, what happened to those millions of voters from 2020 that didn’t make it to the polls yesterday? I have a theory.
I may have more thoughts later, but for now, a foreigner explains to other non-Americans why they’re surprised at this outcome.

Heh.

Another big loser in addition to Barack:
You know who had a really bad night last night? Nancy Pelosi. She was basically the coup leader against Biden, the one who organized the effort to remove him and replace him with Kamala. She defended the putsch in very cold and practical terms, and it blew up in her face.

[Friday-morning update]
Glenn Beck is filled with hope.
Me, too.
[Bumped]
Actually, I’m at DFW waiting for a flight to West Palm Beach. Then I’m driving up to the Cape for the Space Settlement Summit, where I expect to have some interesting conversations about the impact of the election on space. So probably light posting for a few days.
I’ll be back home on Sunday. Disport yourselves not inappropriately in comments.
[Update a few minutes later, before boarding]
Glenn Reynolds has some observations about the election, Elon, and space.
