March 16, 2017 Zimmerman/Batchelor podcast
Embedded below the fold. John wanted to start by talking about the non-story of Budweiser looking at the technical difficulties of brewing beer on Mars. After that, we then spent the bulk of the segment talking about Trump’s budget proposals.
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID 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. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
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

Why has NASA spent money on education, while the department for Education hasn’t spent any money on space flight? If each government agency yearly spent $100+ million on space flight, that would be great! Will Obamacare be transformed into health care satellites? Or are government departments mixing up their duties? I fanatically support all kinds of space flight. I’d support North Korean space flight if that was the only game. Our political quarrels mean nothing in a billion year time perspective, and that is the perspective that space flight is dealing with. No one has done this since billions of years if ever. So let’s do it! If it hurts someones’ feelings, well, learn to live with it.
NASA’s science director, now resigned, in the interview linked to below, just talks about gender equality. Not about science. It is obvious that NASA is almost totally politicized and has no focus on doing any science or exploration. She has to have been fucked the wrong way or something in order to be so fanatically gender obsessed and confused that she wasn’t able to do her job. Or paid by toilett politicians to deliberately sabotage NASA science. She is interviewd by the lying communist Bill Nye’s climate doomsday propaganda hate group organization called “The Planetary Society”.
