The Luddite Pillory, v1.7

A blog-carnival exposing anti-space silliness for ridicule and scorn, and otherwise showcasing funny space- and science-related news items.

  • Checking in on Mr. Lasker.
  • Wonder whatever happened to John Carter McKnight? Wonder no more.
  • I smell a meme being circulated. I'm guessing that they either don't understand that short half-life = more radioactive, or they do know and are manipulatively repeating the mantra without context, counting on the general public's lack of knowledge regarding things nuclear to make DU sound scaaaaary as a result. It's the usual conundrum with "peace activists": are they stupid, are they cynically dishonest...or both?
