It's incredible. If you can afford it, the subscription is always great and an excellent chance to try oil from different olives that typically don't get pressed.

I'm making one right now using openFrameworks!

While I appreciate the amount of effort the author put into writing this, Matt Stoller’s analysis of the Boeing situation remains the best I’ve found so far: https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/the-coming-boeing-bailout

From the description on that poster

"The artist’s share of profits from sales of this poster will be donated to NASA."

How, Though? You can't donate to NASA

I have serious problems with this article's headline: "Two years ago, NASA dismissed and mocked an amateur’s criticisms of its asteroids database. Now Nathan Myhrvold is back, and his papers have passed peer review."

The two people who actually did the mocking and dismissing are a UCLA professor and a JPL employee, not NASA employees. The only person who's legally allowed to speak on behalf of NASA (David Morrison) says what this guy is doing is great, and somehow that means NASA "mocked and dismissed" this man's claims?

I get that the author and the editorial staff (who likely chose that headline) are shooting for a David vs. Goliath angle, but really?

Glad someone @ NASA is finally doing this. The acceptance rate on SBIRs/STTRs is about 70% because so few people know about it and/or apply.

The bar is very low, and there's alot of stupid work that gets funded essentially because of how NASAs budget works.

Nope. ITAR, among other reasons. The explicit purpose of the STTR and SBIR programs is to encourage domestic businesses. Not to say NASA doesn't do open-source, but patents open for all might even hurt U.S. small businesses, since a foreign company could compete.
