Trump just called for a big commitment to U.S. shipbuilding. Yet another instance of ripped-from-the-pages-of-today’s-headlines for my 2021 book THE BLUE AGE.

Here is yours truly 10 years ago in the New York Times saying “the influence of gambling” is the greatest threat to professional sports. nytimes.com/2019/09/07/opini… nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mia… via @nbcnews

would somebody please tell this guy we got to the Moon FIRST 56 years ago

We are in a race against China so we need the best companies to operate at a speed that gets us to the Moon FIRST. SpaceX has the contract to build the HLS which will get U.S. astronauts there on Artemis III. But, competition and innovation are the keys to our dominance in space so @NASA is opening up HLS production to Blue Origin and other great American companies. 🚀

SpaceX will carry ~90% of the world’s payload mass to space this year, so it is pretty much Earth’s space program

Today a good day to read up on the Venezuelan Crisis of 1902. England, France, Germany & Italy sent warships to threaten that country. Result was Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine: that USA will settle all disputes in the Western Hemisphere. nytimes.com/2025/10/17/us/po…

Senators Move to Force Vote to Bar Ground Strikes in Venezuela

The bid comes after the Senate rejected a similar measure to curb President Trump’s attacks against alleged drug runners in the Caribbean Sea.

the Starship project is exciting. But still has not achieved orbit. Good engineering info is being produced. But still not in orbit?? It's preposterous to suppose, as Musk does, that soon these machines will be on their way to Mars.
