…for commercial space. My initial thoughts on Friday’s successful Falcon 9 launch. I’ll have more at AOL Online later.

…on the loss of his beloved wife.

I wonder if one might infer from the White House behavior that Sestak’s job offer was made by the president or vice president?

It’s technically an impeachable offense, but there’s no way this Congress would do anything about it. Anyway, the nightmare scenario would be a president Pelosi, which wouldn’t be rectified until 2012, regardless of what happens this fall. Maybe Issa should just let sleeping dogs lie. So to speak…

…but he doesn’t have a prayer in Florida:

With reports that President Obama’s support among Jewish voters has dropped by half, one can’t help but think that poor Kendrick Meek is paying the price for the buyer’s remorse over Obama that some Democrats are experiencing these days. In a private discussion about condo Democrats supporting Crist, one highly placed and in-the-know Democratic strategist put it to me this way: “The disenchantment that community privately feels towards Obama makes it very unlikely they will support another black Democrat anytime soon.”

As evidenced in the latest Rasmussen poll, moderate Republicans are coming home, and Marco Rubio is again leading a three-way race between Rubio, Crist and Meek by a significant margin, leaving the Democrats alone to kill one another.

What kind of an idiot would vote for Charlie Crist at this point?

A Florida Democrat.

It’s not getting to the moon that’s expensive — it’s getting back. Jon Goff has some thoughts on how to kick start a human lunar program on the cheap.

Alan Boyle has a roundup of them for the past year, and a contest for predicting what next year’s will be.

Remember 2000, when everyone was partying in 1999 as though it were the end of the century and millennium, even though it had another year to go? Well, I was reading the American Airlines magazine this morning, and the monthly column from the airline president said that it was his last of the decade. And of course, Newsweek says that it was a “decade from Hell” (presumably because much of it was presided over by the BusHitler), also implying that it comes to a close at the end of the month. I’m not going to go through the explanation again, but the decade doesn’t end until a year from now.

I think that I’ve found Andrew Sullivan’s favorite web site. It’s likely to get a lot of hittage in the coming months. Many of them from The Atlantic…

Biggovernment.com. To keep an eye on…you know. It’s all over ACORN and teen prostitution today.
