Why pay a consultant, psychologist, aeronautical engineer, crime scene investigator, alchemist, or HVAC specialist, when you can ask your question of Bill Whittle? If he finds your query relevant, irrelevant or somewhere in between, he could answer it on tonight’s live-streaming episode of The Stratosphere Lounge. (or Watch on Twitch.tv)

After over 10 years of court battles, environmental impact studies, cultural impact studies, and every other bit of red tape, the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) was finally granted approval to start construction on top of the tallest mountain in the world, Mauna Kea in Hawaii. On the day construction was to start, a band of native Hawaiians showed up and blockaded the only road up the mountain, completely halting construction. They refuse to leave. For 3 months now, there has been a stalemate, and the government seems powerless to enforce the law.
Are we no longer a country of laws, but now one of outrage mobs?
Can you give an update on the initiative to educate to you men of this country via online gaming?
If you could travel back in time to personally witness and discover the definitive answer to one of the great mysteries, where would you go and which mystery would you solve? (I’m thinking of mysteries like why Stonehenge was built, how were the pyramids built, who, exactly were the first humans in the new world, that sort of thing) One provision is that you would be an invisible observer, unable to be harmed or to change the events you witness.
Bill, would you kindly check your virtual mail-mountain for email from our friend and longtime Stratolounger Martin Archer per last week’s TSL? I fear what his idle miscreant hands will get up to if we don’t find a way to keep him busy and out of trouble. Thanks much.
This was mentioned last week and Bill asked Martin to send him an email. Martin asked not to be discussed on Youtube so that may have been edited out.
Thank you, RG, you are right and Martin just reminded me of it. I’m editing my question to remove the PSA request.
See you all tonight!
My parents liked the sound of it, mostly. Dad admired a sales engineer he worked with at TRW named “Troy”, and I guess that planted the seed. He also did some of his growing up in Heber, Utah, which I imagine is midwestern enough for names like “Troy” to be familiar. (I sure didn’t meet many other “Troys” growing up in L.A. … and I haven’t yet encountered it as a woman’s name — interesting!) We do have some English roots on Dad’s side according to the genealogy he’s done, but no prior “Troys” in the ancestor chain that I’m aware of. 🙂
RG I don’t think Bill did say that. If he did I would have emailed him. I hope my Appeal post explained my situation in enough detail.
Maybe I’m misremembering, but I thought sure he did. I remember he sent himself a reminder and I thought he asked you to contact him too.
Bill – I have been re-watching old Star Trek TOS and have noticed that the episodes are routinely 50 minutes. Newer fare, like MadMen are in the 42 minute range. As a writer what do those extra 8 minutes, 15%, mean to story arc and character development?
Yes, Edward. I am almost never able to watch live. I have watched all eventually
If we built a space station on the ecliptic, would the next Democrat POTUS give it over to the UN? How high of a tax on space travel do you think they’d be able to get away with?
