Writing about space policy and politics, from the Space Coast of Florida. Now retired after ten years doing public education at Kennedy Space Center. You can also find me on Counter.Social at the same handle, and on Substack at TheSpacePundit.com.

I gotta say, it does sound like something Elon would say.

The Pacific Electric Red Cars were quite familiar to those of us of a certain vintage. They were gone by the time I reached sentience, but the rights of way were still around. A Red Car is in the rail museum at the L.A. County Fair in Pomona.

It's the same with #Ghosts both the BBC and CBS versions. The ghosts themselves ask why they can stand and sit yet go through walls. No one knows.

I once electrocuted myself trying to change the temperature setting on the water heater, so I'm dorkier than you.

I remember his cousins U-Boat and U-Haul.

What a sad world we live in. It's so embarrassing to watch the legislative and judicial branches bow before the buffoon.

"China is the only country that has focused on low priced EVs." Tesla just released "standard" model 3s and Ys which are cheaper. They're still a bit pricey for most people -- mid to high $30Ks -- but they're coming down. Still nowhere near the $25K promised by Elon.

I was at the old Dodgertown today in Vero Beach. Now it's MLB's Jackie Robinson Training Complex for youth programs. Tony Reagins, the Angels' former GM, runs the MLB youth programs.

We bought our house at the depth of the Great Recession. It's more than doubled in value since then. That's capitalism.

I'm a little sensitive to people giving von Braun credit for EVERYTHING, that's all. I know you didn't.

"Wernher von Braun made the first functional rockets ..." Mmmm ... There were other modest efforts (Goddard, Korolev) prior to WW2 but von Braun had the money and government backing. Post-WW2, the JPL and USAF were in parallel to von Braun. But I'll concede your point. 😉

Oh good, I was worried about Linus.

Just so long as it's not protomatter, an unstable substance which every ethical scientist in the galaxy has denounced as dangerously unpredictable. 😉

As I've told others, I was a police dispatcher out of college many years ago. What is on the radio isn't always accurate. We had wrong information on the air all the time.
