There's no military value to the Lagrange Points. This is posturing, and a pointless waste of public resources.
- "ensuring the United States is the first country to permanently station assets at all Lagrange Points"
(I did look into the report to see if what reasoning they offered, but the whole thing's juts three lines of the 53-page document. I'm convinced this is some throwaway joke—I believe zero intelligent thought went into this).

You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know." -Michael Crichton

- caseysoftware 3y ago> * science and tech journalism are definitely less likely to tell a compelling story with the existing facts and coherently.* Why do you believe this is limited to these two areas?
- actinium226 3y agoBecause science and tech journalism requires a certain knowledge of science and technology, but people who want to go into journalism generally don't study those topics and aren't interested in them.
- tomjakubowski 3y agoScience journalists often do have a scientific background, like Ed Yong for example (MPhil Biochemistry).
