    I’m confused. How did we conclude that the best way to prepare kids for the future is to cluster them into a setting where they are organized by age, into grades, and forced to learn the same things, at the same time and pace, 7 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 12 + years? Huh?

    In 1989, published a series of posters presenting the launch vehicles, space systems and services available for rent. Energiya-Buran was one of them. Sad to know that no one was interested in commercial use of such heavy launch vehicles at that time...

    SpinLaunch is a company breathing new life into the decades-old idea of using giant mechanical slings to hurl rockets into orbit. Its vacuum-sealed centrifuge will accelerate a rocket to more than 5,000 miles per hour.

    This is it. Space is no longer the domain of professional astronauts. If you now have an experiment you need to perform in space, NASA will fly you up there.

    Starlink is a beautiful thing. It represents to many of us, not born into privelage, that there can be a bright, accessible future for those who seek it. Apart from enabling an individual's right to self-determination, the internet is survival, especially in these times.

    A swarm of space reflectors at L1 to stop climate change, with an attitude control system so I can turn them parallel to the sunbeams and bring back global warming as a bargaining tool.

    A company to mass-produce tens of thousands of space telescopes that simultaneously vastly increase our astronomical knowledge and ruin our ground-based competitors' observations.

    When SF loses its startup edge, you won't see people tweeting about it. The mere existence of passionate haters means it's still desirable.

    I propose an annual payment of $100 billion to Boeing for 'work force retention' that has no deliverables other than a blanket prohibition from responding to any space exploration related contracts.

    Please RT. US citizens outside the space industry need to know how much their space program is a pork fest for one company.

    There is nothing more aesthetically perfect than early Space Shuttle era concept art. The worm logo is just objectively better.
