I always look at the author (Joe Allsopp) and the publisher (New Yorker) in these cases, if just for future reference.

NEW: On Oct 20, Japan will launch its most audacious space mission. It’s hoping to fly to Mars, land twice (!) on Phobos (“fear”), steal pieces of that alien moon, and bring ‘em home. That’s right: to pull of this heist, Japan must confront fear itself. @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Audacious space heist aims to bring home bits of mysterious martian moon

Samples from Japan’s MMX mission could reveal how Phobos formed—and may contain pieces of Mars

In some traditions, an unsuccessful execution attempt was seen as a sign from God that the prisoner should live on, so no second attempt was made.

A report completed in May but just now made public. Seems odd.

Good move. In CT early voting is fairly new. In person only and opens in about 10 days.

Thanks Sahil. It's important to get stories like this out for free since so many of us don't have cable TV anymore. youtu.be/Iot2rt00b0c?...

My grandmom, born about 1910, always thought he was cute. Guessing that was about 1980.

Florida 2000: Nader got 90,000+ votes. If there's a stupid option some people will take it.

Good emphasis on polling averages. There's too much coverage of (say) Quinnipiac polls without noting they're Dem leaning compared to others.

"Galactic"??? To describe low Earth orbit? Maybe you should stick to the real meaning of words.

"No property or military vessel under Federal control, or coinage, printed currency, or postage shall include the name or likage of a living person." Something like that makes sense to me.

I remember a time when Pres Clinton handed GW Bush an economy with budget surpluses and Fed Chair Alan Greenspan said to be careful about paying off the national debt too quickly. W took that as license to cut upper income taxes as he always was going to do.

In one telling of the story it hit larger counties and more areas because people there move around more than rural voters. Let's see, does that population have a Dem lean?
