That’s a big sucker
Here is xkcd’s excellent method of visualizing just how big: Remember, this thing is a sphere.
Devin Nunes, California congressman, who has until January 3rd of this year been chair of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence , goes on Hannity to say publicly and officially what we’ve known all along: the Trump campaign was spied upon. Magic words at 2:22 in this video: Justice may be beginning. […]

Steve Walton’s recent post reminded me of just how awe-inspiring that first Falcon Heavy launch was–and how consequential it felt at the time, like we’d just crossed some kind of marker on the timeline of space exploration. True, we didn’t go anywhere new, didn’t do anything out of the ordinary aside from throwing a car […]

The Biblical View of Homosexuality
I began typing this comment on the Mayor Pete Bill Whittle Now, and realized it was getting long enough that I should just make a blog post instead. So, here is my position on homosexuality as a Christian. The Bible clearly condemns it as a sin, anyone who denies that hasn’t read their Bible or […]
(Updated) All three boosters (* and fairings) recovered! Elon, you magnificent bastard! I don’t think I’m being hyperbolic when I say that this was make-or-break for this company and for humanity’s future in space. It’s full speed ahead now! I would like to see Musk drop his involvement in everything but SpaceX and concentrate on […]

On the difficulties of mixing humans with high technology.

Falcon Heavy tries again at 6:36 pm EDT, and Beresheet [tries to land] faceplants on the Moon at 3:05 pm EDT. Nice try, guys. You got to lunar orbit, and got one good picture. More about the latter is here. Live Beresheet coverage video found here. (Video dropping out frequently and needs reloading…direct to YouTube […]

Having Stories at Hand
I come from a storytelling people. My Irish ancestors steal stories from every culture on Earth and make them their own. My Cherokee ancestors told stories around the campfire on long nights. My Scots, British, German, Scandanavian and Jewish forebears told their own stories and told them quite well if you check out any decent […]

Timely 200 Year Old Quote
Although rather long, the following quote from Thomas Jefferson is as appropriate today as it ever was. Its lessons were adhered to for nearly 100 years until the “Progressive” movement of the early 20th century, which quickly ushered in the Socialism that followed: “I am not among those who fear the people.They, […]
Candace Owens and her rhetorical truth-stiletto draw more than a little blood. This is what push-back looks like folks. Wonder if Miss Owens is a Whittle follower.

Funny thing t’internet…
…it’s meant to be all about the future, yet how often it takes us back. This evening I was sitting, quite innocently, eating chicken biryani and drinking Chilean chardonnay, watching Big Bang Theory (I know, I know, don’t judge me, I’m a philistine, all I ask of a white wine is that it’s cold and […]
