Well-written post on "Why not Mars". "At 22 years old [12], the ISS is still as dependent on fresh meals and clean laundry sent from home as the most feckless grad student."

I know I’ve seen people I like get their hackles up about this, like “don’t tell me I have to get off twitter to be a good person.” Make whatever excuses you want, but it’s official state media controlled by the fascist destroying the government with a wrecking ball and you’re helping enrich him.

This essay from Trevor Morrison and Rick Pildes prompted me to run down the answer to a question that’s been bugging me ever since J.D. Vance began posting about defying court orders: Are federal courts completely dependent on the U.S. Marshall’s service to enforce civil contempt orders?
