The whistle

The skinsuit of Matt Drudge isn't letting Elon have his W (even with-reservations). It links (I won't) to Obama mouthing-off about "hrrr fix Erf first before Mars". Classic Obama gaslighting, and a sideswipe against Musk through his statements rather than his achievements; nobody serious is talking Mars. For Starship we're talking orbit. We need orbit now.

(Between here and Mars, maybe asteroids: here's some dark-and-stony, en route to Jupiter. Maybe the Moon: although the Lunar Pole isn't looking great.)

Drudge's main link on that day was that de-Kessler'd spacejunk might cut our magnetic field, beyond the usual metal worries. This, from a nonreviewed paper; it may as well be a blog. Drudge is gambling for political winds as will take this space junk to publication. I fear Drudge is (politically) correct, now that he's pushed it to media attention. Journals will be fighting over each other to put it out, and nobody wants aligned with "the Alt Right".

I doubt Obama's statement is even meant to be taken seriously. It's a whistle for his army of Organiserz. They're the ones doing the lawfare down South Texas. It's a message to his holdovers in the "Biden" Administration as well.
