Caving in remote Nevada
I am leaving today for a four day caving expedition in the remote mountains of Nevada. Thus, there will be little added to the webpage until I return late Monday. I will also not be around to moderate comments. For those new people who post comments please forgive me. Be patient. I will get to it when I get home.
I hope my readers have a great Labor Day weekend. Get out, see friends, go sightseeing, have a great time to celebrate the end of summer. And above all, don’t do what the CDC is demanding, to stay home if you are not vaccinated and even if you are, to wear a mask, maybe two or three, all the time, even when outdoors by yourself. Ignore such idiocy.
Use your common sense instead. Be brave. Be free. And above all, pursue your happiness fully, with joy.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Be careful!
Probably some great caving in the Groom Lake area!
Enjoy!

“For more than a century, a story has persisted about the skeletons of giants being found in Lovelock Cave in northern Nevada…..”
Watch out for Cave Bears.
Sounds like fun, I’m sure you’ll post pictures so we will all feel like we were there.
The great basin is a desolate place, outside the salt flats, it is full of life.
Took a trip to the Dugway Geo beds just to find rocks. Free to the public but it’s 150 miles from Salt Lake, half of which is on a dirt road. Surprisingly flat, in the way of an ancient lake bed would be, with wild horses, and pronghorn antelope, and a few few mule deer.
Found a couple of buckets of golf ball sized geodes, they are largely unimpressive. (A few that are very nice) Hard to believe only a few miles north of that location is a level five biological weapons lab? Made famous by Stephen kings “The Stand”.
Meanwhile, SpaceX got approval today from the FAA for their September 15 rocket launch.
