  2. Ole Skått Hansen Mannli, of course. I was forgetting all the basics of Norwegian naming customs. He will never be referred to as just "Skått" or "Ole" but always as "Ole Skått".

  3. Such a quaint simile. Boeing, phone books, and encyclopedia in a single sentence.

  5. The label for Walter Schirra’s camera is wrong, it’s Hasselblad, not Hasseblad. Just thought Jurvetson would like to know…

  6. Put a dog sled and a photo of Scott with a mustache drawn on it on both poles ;)

  7. NATO would “test” a lot of conventional weapons very fast under very realistic conditions. Russia wouldn’t like it.

  8. Dummy payload.

  9. The wildlife at Cape Kennedy/Canaveral is doing very, very well… The rockets keep the humans (mostly) out and that keeps the wildlife happy. It will be the same in Boca China.

  23. I also trusted 40-year-old nuclear power plants more after the tsunami hit the Fukushima reactors and the emergency power generators were flooded. The containment vessel worked perfectly and nobody had to die. Unfortunately, one or two died trying to heroically save the reactor for future use to no avail — and 2000 died because some fucker thought it was a good idea to evacuate a gazillion people for no reason at all, because “safety”.
