My commute is about an hour a day. There are many ways to turn this into productive time. Think. Listen to audiobooks/podcasts. Run through a few key work phone calls. Catch up wit…

Atlantan here. I lived in West Midtown for five years post-college. It's the epitome of hip re-urbanization and all that comes with it. I walked from my house to a local restaurant…

SpaceX is going to launch the next set of Iridium satellites. SpaceX has no satellites of their own nor do they intend to.

The new proposed NASA budget is a fantastic budget that will push NASA to focus on innovation beyond Low Earth Orbit and allow commercial providers to do what has been proven as cl…

The delay was actually because the Range hadn't approved the Flight Termination System on board F9. The Range is really not the gatekeeper for orbit, their job is to protect the pu…

What does this even mean? SpaceX and ULA both take stuff to orbit. If you have $$, you can get to orbit on any commercial launch provider.

NASA has shown itself incapable of meeting deadlines or staying within budget on many projects, and Obama is right to turn access to Low Earth Orbit over to commercial companies (o…

It's reusable - something the government hasn't been able to produce. There are a lot of applications - vertical takeoff and landing testbed, acceleration of Technology Readiness L…

I work for Masten Space Systems. What we've done on $2M could not be done for less than $50-100M by the government. It's unfortunate but they have ridiculous amounts of overhead th…

The buildup on this company was absolutely EPIC.

Yeah, as jraines said, I only know about here in the US. Have no knowledge of other countries.

I think technically that spitting in someone's face would be considered assault. Not 100% sure on that, though.

I think it's great that he's making records public and all, but before we start judging his character and how he's going to govern, let's realize this is only Day 2. You can't summ…

So IF you could find a wire long enough and insulated enough, how would your wire deal with the rotation of the earth? :)

Watch this summer for the launch of Falcon9 from the Cape. Pretty pics of Falcon9 on the launch pad for testing earlier this month: http://spacex.com/updates.php

Helluva school. MGT, Spring 09 - Just over 100 more days!

I was confused when I first visited - the different color text entry fields made it look like a flag and I didn't initially realize they were text fields. Worked well for me, thoug…

Yeah, they were acquired by Automattic a couple months ago, but the same dudes are running the show at ID.

The IntenseDebate guys work hard on their product and are some of the nicest dudes around. It's good to see a startup like ID get some big exposure like this.

Yes, it does. Skribit is still alive and well from last year's Atlanta Startup Weekend. In defense of the other projects from this year, I will say that 6/8 projects are alive past…
