I’m just going to steal these directly from HumanMars(dot)net — and I’m desperately anxious to see this in real life. The shape reflected here represents our best estimate of what Starship will look like. The company’s descriptions are settling down into a system with fewer announced changes, which implies that they are moving from design […]
Like Glenn Beck or not, this is an excellent interview that exposes exactly what Planned Parenthood is all about.
Here is a place to keep an eye on how events are moving towards the next launch of the Falcon Heavy. I’m not certain if the updates will continue all the way to the actual launch. https://spaceflightnow.com/2019/04/01/falcon-heavy-arabsat-6a-preparations/ They have a live video feed, but (like other sites we know) you have to be a paying […]
Patricia McCarthy, writing in American Thinker this morning, asks a very pertinent question: “Why do the least-bright people rise to the top?” She is more generous than I would be, as I would ask, “Why do stupid, loathesome, evil people rise to the top?” — but then again, she has a public forum and probably […]
A right is something that doesn’t require someone else to provide. If you demand that someone else provide you with something, that is called ‘theft’. If it is on-going, it is called ‘slavery’ or ‘serfdom’. I think we have deemed slavery to be immoral, and serfdom to be intolerable.
Sadly this is the reality of what happened… and it’s not really over yet…
I’m not certain why, but the most active model rocket clubs seem to be in the Czech Republic, or Russia, or somewhere in Eastern Europe. Perhaps a leftover from the Cold War and ICBMs? Whatever the reason, they make some seriously decent models. Here is a video of a three-stage rocket, with a presentation worthy […]

Horowitz announced today that at 12:00 pm this date search warrants and in some cases arrest warrants, were served on the following individuals: James Clapper, James Comey, John Brennan, Peter Strozk, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr, Nellie Ohr, […]
Steppenwolf was everywhere in the air in the early 70s, but I was never able to put a face to the lead singer, John Kay. This live performance rectifies that. John Kay was born in 1944 as Joachim Fritz Krauledat. Somehow that fits him better. He was too young to appreciate the rather exciting time […]
Last year, in its first flight, the Falcon Heavy three-stick launch vehicle boosted Elon Musk’s personal red Tesla into space (not everybody appreciated the élan that Elon demonstrated in using his car instead of a big block of cement). It went beyond the orbit of Mars (slightly) and will be orbiting the Sun in strange […]
It is sometimes easy to forget that Poland had a bit of a Navy when Hitler invaded them (after faking a Polish attack on a German radio station). This Navy actually fought back for awhile.
American media continue to focus almost exclusively on Mueller, Mueller, Mueller, Trump, Russia, Mueller. While we dither aimlessly, the invasion continues at the Southern border. A new study by the Pew Research Center reveals that the numbers are higher than they’ve ever been. John Binder wrote in Breitbart yesterday [emphasis mine]: The Pew Research Center […]
This is an interesting discussion of (in Levin’s words) “…the greatest political scandal, if not in modern history, in all history, and I’m very much a historian.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKgLgohQYDw
I realize this is basically a promotional video for a wooden boat-building company, but it’s a fascinating 10-minute look at building an awesome sailboat. Not within my budget, though…
