Liberal Obama appointee, though did call herself a "contrarian" in an old interview

Look forward to what Admiral Kirk is able to put together for that match.

"You had an orbiting starship beam Dort from the sim in San Francisco to a South Atlantic iceberg?"
"there's nothing in writing saying you *cant* do that"

You can't just "look forward not backward" There needs to be a price, a visible price. to encourage the others.

While they are failing to meet the ham sandwich test time after time, every now and then you'll draw an unlucky jury or a credulous / malicious judge (like the Fulton Co search warrant). This just can't go on and the next D needs to go after Trump DOJ appointees committing these abuses.

I suppose I would be a good test subject for whether space travel really is fine for everyone now: late 50s, don't exercise nearly enough, sinus trouble, acid reflux. Seriously I do not want to subject a Starship full of rando travelling public to zero-g nope ☂️

Why am I here? Beyond general "it's cool!", that is? More later.

No, I am not going into space.

Why does anyone ever leave this paradise-on-the-pawtuxet?

I think this is about 11 miles to the Artemis stack on 39B and 14 or 15 miles to the Falcon9 on 40
February 11, 2026 at 1:09 AM
Falcon 9 and Dragon on pad 40 for the Crew 12 mission aiming to launch on Friday (in the last 10 days its launch has gone 14th, 11th, 12th, 13th 🤷‍♂️)

A simple proposal for federal judges frustrated that Trump Regime isn’t freeing people in response to habeas corpus orders:

Order that DHS bring each individual to court for their habeas hearing. If the judge grants habeas, the petitioner walks out free.

Bonus: huge pre-hearing burden on feds.

Nah, this is a real longstanding issue. The org structure incentives CCMDs to request everything, they don't pay the maintenance or personnel burnout

Space colony boosters say the space workers would be highly skilled professionals so it would be irrational for the bosses to mistreat or airlock them
