Yeah, I know: short trip. According to Bruce Gagnon, NASA’s upcoming LCROSS “moon bombing” is a test of first-strike space weapons. No…seriously…he actually believes this. When the space craft arrives near the moon it will fire a missile, at twice the speed of a bullet, from the spacecraft into the moon’s surface. NASA maintains […] Compare this: A few houses still stood within the skeleton of what had once been an industrial town. Everything that could move, had moved away; but some human beings had remained. The empty structures were vertical rubble; they had been eaten, not by time, but by men: boards torn out at random, missing patches of […] You can’t make this stuff up: As most of you know, just over two years ago, my organization, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, found that the knuckleheaded leader of the global warming alarmism movement, Al Gore, consumes 20 times more electricity in his home than the average American household. Since Earth Hour was recognized […] Along with this month’s power bill came an interesting letter from the utility…interesting in how politically incorrect it is: How long we will be able to freeze our rate depends upon federal and state energy policies. Many in Congress see a CO2 cap and trade scheme or carbon tax as a lucrative source of potential […] This article at the Grauniad is noteworthy not for its routine America bashing or overwrought environmental panic-pimping, but for the laughably unsubtle parroting of the equally laughable (and undoubtedly calculated) misuse of the word “virgin” to describe wood materials derived from unrecycled sources. Extra-soft, quilted and multi-ply toilet roll made from virgin forest causes more […] Meet Namaste Solar Electric, aka “The Twentieth Century Solar Panel Company”: “We did have a lot of skeptical, raised eyebrows at the beginning,” Jones said of his company, which installs solar power systems in Colorado. “We even have had business schools bring teams of MBA students to come to do a case study,” he said. […] Uh-oh, it looks like Galt’s “ray screen” was no match for the “Don’t Be Evil” crowd — Google Earth has found Atlantis: From what it sounds like, a British aeronautical engineer was playing around with the new Google Earth 5.0, which includes undersea data, and noticed something funny off the coast of Africa, about 600 […] More methane on Mars: “Methane is quickly destroyed in the Martian atmosphere in a variety of ways, so our discovery of substantial plumes of methane in the northern hemisphere of Mars in 2003 indicates some ongoing process is releasing the gas,” said Michael Mumma of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. “At […] Obama appoints a Paul Ehrlich pal as his science advisor. Nice. Maybe next he’ll pick Robert Park or Bruce Gagnon for NASA Administrator. ADDENDUM: Commenter Brock at Rand’s place makes an apt observation: I’d prefer a Science Advisor who saw technology and scientific advancement as a solution to problems, rather than a being a […] |
