(thread) The idea that going to the Moon was expensive, a big show that led nowhere, gave us nothing but Tang and Velcro — that's all silliness, even if it is the conventional wisdom. We misunderstand Apollo, almost completely.

The federal government doesn’t ‘give’ money to Harvard. The $2.2 billion in frozen payments isn’t for Harvard sophomores’ tuition or library books.
The US government is buying services from Harvard: scientific & medical research & development.
These aren’t ‘woke donations.’
They are contracts. Proposed, reviewed, awarded, with metrics and deadlines and standards of performance.
Harvard is a government contractor in that sense — lab by lab, scientist by scientist — just the way any other company is a contractor.
That’s true of Columbia’s $400 million in ‘frozen’ contracts — and all the rest.
R1 research universities do crucial research the federal government can’t do itself, but that we as a nation have decided we need done.
Mission driven. Pioneering. Essential.
They can’t be done — as Sean Hannity just suggested — at community colleges & vocational schools.
That’s not what the $2.2 billion is being spent on.
…You could Google it. Of course.

Two satellites have changed the game in the last 10 years for farmers, scientists, oil & gas companies, other companies.
They are the OCO satellites—Orbiting Carbon Observatories.
Used daily.
The Trump Administration has ordered one destroyed, the other turned off.
Why?

Again, a moment to pause & appreciate the cool professionalism of those in & around the Key Bridge at 1:24 am Tuesday.

On the bridge of the container ship Dali, 4 minutes from disaster, there's one critical moment we haven't heard about yet.
The very moment the ship lost power the 1st time.
What did the pilot do, right then?
His first thought, apparently, was safety — the bridge looming ahead.

Pause just a moment this evening & appreciate something from 24 hours ago:
An Alaska Air 737 had a hole torn in the side of it in flight.
The plane was 3 miles up, flying at 400 mph.
It stayed intact. The pilots landed in minutes. No one was seriously injured.

Some big news out of the University of Arizona (@uarizona):

Here's the thing that might happen with Trump's tariffs.
It's not 1893. It's not 1933.
We—the United States—have spent 50 years creating a web of global trade, an interwoven global economy.
Now, Trump is using garden shears to cut the US out of that network.

The nation elected a man who insists he’s a brilliant businessman.

9/ From the moment of the power failure to the moment units were alerted to close the bridge, 156 seconds elapsed.
1:24:59 am to 1:27:25 am.

That's truly astonishing. That first call saved lives.

Yesterday, a federal judge in Michigan did something extraordinary & important.
Yes, she penalized Trump's election attorneys for their conduct filing a lawsuit to have Michigan's 2020 election results thrown out.
But she did something bigger:
Took the suit seriously.

2/ Police dispatched with just a few crisp phrases—ship has lost steering, close the bridge to traffic—and race to do just that.
No time for confusion. No time for … ‘What do you mean, close the bridge? Who says?’
4 minutes, alert to collapse.
Bridge successfully closed…

Could Trump's tariffs spark a US factory & manufacturing renaissance?
Let's say they do.
Here's the problem, even if we double the number of factories the US has now. Even if we—somehow—start making microwave ovens and pleated-front chinos and pillow cases in the US again.

He told his dispatcher: We've lost power, close the bridge. Close the bridge.

A single coronavirus update snapshot.
Florida.
FL got a lot of praise for how it handled nursing home cases (very well).

Now?
Last 4 days: Most new cases of any 4-days in the pandemic.

10/ The pilot hasn't been publicly identified yet. We don't know his age, his years on the water, all his actions.
But what happened at that moment—1:24:59—was years of experience kicking in instantly. First priority: Bridge is close, we could hit it, close the bridge.

12/ That's what he should have done.

It's that moment that shows experience, competence, and the confidence that comes from those things.

5/ The pilot knew he had no radio. He didn't wait to see what would happen in the next 30 seconds. Would the engine room get power back? What systems would come online as the backup power kicked in?
He pulled his cell phone, he called dispatch, he said: Close the bridge.

11/ The pilot needed to get power back on the ship. He needed to talk to engine room, crew on the bridge & around the ship, move fast to halt or divert the ship.
NTSB transcript says he did do those things.
But first, within seconds, he requested the bridge be closed.

2/ The Trump Administration won't say why it ordered NASA to destroy the free-flying OCO-2 (launched 2014), & why it wants the instruments mounted on the space station (in 2019, OCO-3) decommissioned.
They cost minimal money to operate.
Congress has ordered them funded.

This is absolutely bonkers.
The Mississippi River is 200’ deep at New Orleans, and a half mile wide.
That’s a wall of water as tall as a skyscraper and as wide as a city block, with 2,000 miles of water behind it.
Ida stopped the flow, then briefly reversed it.
For several hours today, the winds & storm surge from #HurricaneIda made the Mississippi River flow *backwards* (negative discharge rate in the graph).

5/ Instead of waving it off as the usual fog of exaggerations and misstatements, US District Judge Linda V. Parker took every 'defense' & 'claim' seriously — and put the lie to every one of them.
Journalists spent the Trump Administration doing this to exhaustion & futility.
11

2/ There won't be many jobs.
Factory automation for routine, repetitive manufacturing is very far along.

'Lights-out factories.'
…Factories with so few people, they keep the lights off.

6/ But almost no officials have taken the time to document the extent of the incompetence & the maliciousness.

19/ …Great photos on the tweets in this thread from the Washington Post (@washingtonpost), whose photo journalists have gotten images that really capture the scale of the ship, the bridge, the collision, the human toll.

9/ The Michigan lawsuit sought to have the election results set aside & Trump 'declared' the winner by the judge.
Why?
Absentee ballots were counted that lacked postmarks. An ominous claim.
Except Michigan voters can deliver their ballots in person. No postmark required.
14
201

11/ To be clear: The Powell/Wood Michigan lawsuit alleged ominous 'violations' of law so serious that election results should be thrown out—and their examples, as Judge Parker wrote, even if they actually happened, *are not violations of law.*

13/ In their disciplinary hearing — after the suit was dismissed — Parker asked the lawyers about the specific instances of claims in the suit that were not violations of law.

8/ Let's be honest & clear:
We're never going to make microwave ovens ($49.99) & pleat-front chinos ($34.99) & pillow cases (4 for $6.99) in the US again.
We want them too cheap.
Consider this:
That $50 China-made microwave at WMT? You can't mail it back to China for $50.

14/ Parker recounts & documents this, claim by claim.
The decision makes riveting reading. Which is not that common in a federal court order.

Signal moment.
A reporter asks Pence why today's Rose Garden predictions for doubling of testing should be believed, given track record.
Notes that back on March 10, Pence promised 4 million tests by the end of the following week.

If you’re curious when fascism arrives in the US, it has. A US President attacking individual companies & institutions by name—and threatening ‘punishment’ if they don’t comply with his whims.

2/ Just pause and let that sink in a minute.
Florida, which in fact avoided the disaster of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts — Florida has now had the most new cases in the last 4 days of any 4 days in the whole outbreak.

19/ Trump's lawyers asserted a case having relevance that:
• Had nothing to do with election law (it was about land grants)
• Was decided exactly the *opposite* of the way Trump's lawyers asserted it was decided

4/ All dorms had been tested once and come up negative.
On Tuesday, one dorm — Likins Hall — showed coronavirus in the wastewater.

10/ Remember the fruitless mantra of the spring?
Testing.
Testing.
Testing.
It's still true. Testing is how you find infections, testing is how you protect people who might get sick, testing is how you protect everyone who isn't yet infected.

18/ The Throckmorton decision contains the phrase, 'fraud vitiates everything' — and Trump's lawyers used that to argue that Judge Parker could do as they requested, toss out the Michigan results & declare Trump the winner. And should.

The US reported 45,755 new coronavirus cases today, Friday, June 26.
That’s no typo.
11,000 cases more than the single-day high back in the terrible days of April. And 50% more than 1 week ago.
45,755.

22/ As Judge Parker lays out what happened in this one fradulant election challenge case, there was no lawyering. There was nothing but political posturing.

6/ There's no people, he said. We keep the lights off. There's a factory floor covering 5 football fields, & there's about 6 people a shift walking through & sitting in control rooms watching screens.
He didn't say, No you can't come. But he was saying, No, you can't come.

9/ They manage to gather the raw materials, turn them in to parts, transport parts to a factory, assemble them into a microwave, box the microwave & ship it to the US—paying for materials & people all the way along, and make a profit!—cheaper than we could ship the box back.
