KSC, Circa 1965

The Luddite Pillory, v1.6

A blog-carnival exposing anti-space silliness for ridicule and scorn, and otherwise showcasing funny space- and science-related news items.

  • British Rail flying saucer? Or April Fool’s Day hoax?
  • Forrest Mimms witnesses “save the planet” environmental cultism reaching its logical conclusion.
  • Bruce Gagnon (who is again in my neighborhood this week) recycles the tired “social programs before space programs” refrain via a racist poem about Apollo from the 1970s. Mark seems surprised. He wouldn’t be, had he seen the racist cartoons Bruce selected for his book.
  • Inspired by early results from Stardust, Elaine rants about…I don’t know what. But it has something to do with cosmic “debrie”.
