Lori’s Book
Courtney Stadd has a lengthy review of it.
Light Posting
I’m going down to Long Beach in a few minutes for the Space Tech Expo today and tomorrow. Then on Thursday I’ll be flying to DC for the ISDC. I’ll have my laptop with me, but not sure how much posting I’ll be able to do.

I have a thread/rant over on Twitter.
Note that Jeff had a typo; he was reporting on the ongoing ASAP meeting, not “ASPA.”
