NOBODY is going to Mars this year, for better or worse. I tell you how I know that. The launch vehicle for the NASA Artemis II mission is on its way to the launchpad, in preparation for a manned circumlunar flight which may launch sometime in the next three months, and a possible landing sometime in the coming years.

Senator Floyd Haskell provides an example of how not to do representative government ; controversy erupts in Cowley County, Kansas, and I suggest a rule which would substantially change the way “renewable energy development” is approached ; and some good news from Japan and South Korea, bad news from Belgium, and downright stupid news from the European Commission.
