New banner…

I support and promote both science and human rights.
But people should not forget that women give birth and men do not.
It’s a basic fact of biology that goes beyond mere levels of testosterone.
When biological women’s rights conflict with trans rights, biological women’s rights take precedence.

I'll be having a new banner made to replace a fading Earth flag, repurposing a logo that I designed in the early 1980s. (See main post.) But, hey — Musk is marching to Mars!

Although SpaceX engineers should be applauded for making reusable orbital rockets practical, Musk's anti-democratic politics do not represent Enlightenment ideals nor my ideas of expanding humanity beyond Earth.

In the meantime, science-oriented missions are being starved or killed outright. (Bezos and his Blue Origin company have yet to develop a space transportation infrastructure into more than a promising idea — and even *his* billionaire hands are being forced by the regime to come into line.)

At the last minute a pro-NASA nominee for administrator has been removed from consideration and will likely be replaced by another ethics-free "cost cutter" (destroyer of everything good being done by the U.S). This leaves ketamine-addled Musk as the standard-bearer for American space efforts.

My first post on Bluesky is a focus on the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution. I started with a public domain photo I found on a National Park Service website. I added the Moon and text. It now hangs as a 3x5-foot flag on my house, along with a U.S. flag, an Earth flag, and a Ukrainian flag.
