ISS, Shuttle & Moon
Comments Off on ISS, Shuttle & Moon
Loyette, Loyacita and I saw the Space Shuttle Atlantis and the International Space Station fly over Denver this evening. They were not quite 16 hours removed from undocking, and were still very close together in the sky, as this photo shows: That’s the Moon at top right. The ISS is the bottom left streak of light, fading as it moves… Read more »

The GOP’s unserious leaders
Ross Douthat opines: It’s possible to be a celebrity and a serious politician at the same time: Barack Obama’s career proves as much. But Obama’s celebrity status is frequently a political liability, and he’s (usually) wise enough to know it. That’s why he plays the wonk as often as he plays the global icon. For now, no Republican leader projects… Read more »

What is going on in this conference? USC beats California by 27 points, Stanford beats USC by 34 points and then Cal goes out and beats Stanford… Read more »
