The Coming Summer Blackouts
Thank the green-energy cult.
[Update a few minutes later]
Smoke from the Canadian fires cut solar-power generation in half.
Biden’s War On The First Amendment
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.
Blended Wing Airliners
This looks promising, but there are two problems with it for me. I like windows, and the window-seat/seat looks pretty low. It will also be harder on people prone to motion sickness, because if you’re out near a side there will be much more vertical motion when it banks.
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
The latest on the SLS obscenity.
Virgin Orbit
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.
