believes spaceport skeptics will be proven wrong.
Howard, confident the county will be awarded a spaceport license in the coming weeks, said the county has successfully shown the
Federal Aviation Administration that a small launch vehicle can be safely launched from the site.
I took a brief respite from Fox News the other day because I wanted to see what the mainstream media said about Rush Limbaugh’s passing. And so, against my better judgment, I tuned into the CBS Evening News with Nora O’Donnell.
The coverage of Rush’s death was fairly straightforward, although they could have refrained from calling him “popular but polarizing.” Then again, what should I expect from the network that gave us Dan “forged documents” Rather or the medium that gave us Brian “my helicopter was shot down” Williams? Rush told the unvarnished truth as he perceived it and, as Mark Twain famously said, “Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.”

Trail use is exploding on the Booth Lake trail. The town of Vail may have the quickest solution to limit that use.
The Vail Town Council at its Feb. 2 meeting heard a presentation from town staff members about use on the trail, and possible options to limit use on the town’s most popular trail into the Eagles Nest Wilderness.
Vail Police Chief Dwight Henninger told councilmembers that use on the trail may have jumped by roughly 50% in 2020. That puts more people on a wilderness trail than the U.S. Forest Service wants to see.
A town-commissioned study notes that Forest Service guidelines call for no more than 12 parties encountered per day on a trail. The study notes the Booth Lake trail has exceeded those guidelines in five of the past six years. The average number of high season encounters has jumped from 36 per day in 2019 to 55 per day in 2020.
