It’s kind of hilarious to view the alternate reality SLS proponents continue to live in.
Light Posting
I’m at a two-day space workshop being put on by the Foresight Institute in San Francisco.
Starliner
Boeing faces hard choices.
They underestimates just how much a truly commercial program was at odds with their corporate culture. It’s why I left Rockwell thirty years ago; I understood that it was never going to be serious about private spaceflight.
Space-Based Solar Power
This would appear to be a first in terms of tech demos.
A Declaration Of Decadence
Bob Zubrin (with whom I had dinner Friday night in Texas) eviscerates an anti-space anti-humanist.
And The Beat Goes On

Its demise was inevitable. It’s also unclear what will ultimately happen to Virgin Galactic. Branson just isn’t very good at the space business. But he gets away with it by using Other Peoples’ Money.
Congressional Support For Artemis
NASA attempts to shore it up.
If I was in charge, I’d have a team looking at more affordable and sustainable architectures. Shelby’s gone.
