TWO SATELLITE LAUNCHES FROM JULY 25TH:

Falcon 9 launches 10 Iridium satellites. The launch occurs about 21 minutes into the video; booster engine cutoff (BECO) and the boost back burn to return the booster to a successful relanding on a downrange barge occurs at about 25 minutes. Then skip forward to see the 10 Iridium satellites released. The commentary is quite good if you want to watch throughout.

Ariane 5 launches four Galileo satellites. Again, the liftoff occurs about 21 minutes into the video. Unfortunately if you want to listen in, you should be fluent in French.

Both videos are quite long - well over an hour each - so you'll probably want to skip back and forth to catch the interesting parts.

SEN. RICHARD BLUMENTHAL warns of ‘new wave of American gun violence’ from 3D-printed firearms.

Having heard from the hysterical Sen. Blumenthal, here is a sensible analysis.

I FOLLOWED A 'BERNIE BRO' on my way home from town this afternoon. It was a winding, two lane road, not a 4-lane divided parkway, so he had a very difficult time keeping is mini-Fiat on the road.

That seems (to me) to be a metaphor for progressivism: they believe the road should follow the steering wheel, instead of using the steering wheel to follow the road.

The Laws of Physics don't respond to 'feelings'....

I ONCE LIVED IN AUSTIN. But I'm not going back: City report on Confederate monuments raises idea of renaming Austin.

The city has been taken over by the PC/SJW idiotocracy. These virtue police are illiterate, ignorant of history, willfully unable to learn from it, and condemned to repeat it.

Although I'll miss the Mexican food, I won't return until the adults in Austin - if there are any left - kick the snowflakes back to the children's table until they grow up and are fit to be in the presence of adults.

The Social Justice Warriorship has ruined the city.

SO, YOU MEAN THEFT? Cynthia Nixon [NY Democrat gubernatorial candidate] takes a page from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Big Book of Bullshit.

TRUMP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MONTENEGRO. He should.

THIS is what 'woke' looks like. Arrogant. Ugly. Illiterate. Stupid.

BERNIE SANDERS disputes group’s cost analysis of single-payer proposal for which he hasn’t done a cost analysis.

The reason Sanders’ people haven’t done a cost analysis on their own plan is probably that they can’t count that high.

Math isn't a Progressive Socialist's strong suit.
