I guess I often feel compelled to proseletyze as well. Not as much as in my youth though. I guess I'm being mean. You want me to talk about this politics of fear thing. Really, I just had some offhand curiosity about the physics research being done at an institution where I saw an impressive piece o...

I'm not really sure what you mean, but I'll interpret it as you prefering the conservative vibe of the Midwest. Not really something I'll agree with, but we can leave it at that. Edit* thinking about it some more, I guess I know what you mean. I just can't imagine that sort of attitude leaking out o...

I just got through explaining, repeatedly, that it's needed to support full utilization of the ISS to 2020, Has anybody mentioned yet that the ISS isn't really getting us all that much anyway? And will continue to be relatively unproductive even if fully utilized? Now, I like space, I think space r...

So, Orion is back in
http://www.space.com/news/obama-space-plan-revives-orion-sn-100413.html What the hell are they doing over there? Hopefully they're still killing the Ares I. An Orion-based ship for the Delta IV seems like a good idea to me - the rocket exists and most of the work on the spacecraft is already done a...

(And what's this about a "crappy payload"? The Shuttle can carry more than 230% of the total LEO payload of the Falcon 9, or more than 400% of Dragon's total cargo capacity to LEO. Space shuttle payload: 24.5 tonnes to LEO (crap). Falcon 9 Heavy payload: 32 tonnes to LEO (slightly less crap). See w...

But in Obama's america there will be nobody allowed to have the freedom and the drive to put people in space and no wealth to do it. Obama kills a bloated government program and promises funds to private industries seeking to put people in space. I'm not sure I understand you. Democrats only believ...
