A few years ago, I split off two separate blogs, to try and keep Selenian Boondocks focused more on space, technology, and policy. I have my personal blog (Taong Boondocks) that is focused on a mixture of politics and government, religion, recipes, personal accountability on goals, and other stuff that I thought would be a distraction from the core audience on this blog. I also created a blog for my consulting LLC (Starbright Engineering blog). The consulting LLC is in hibernation mode, but I’ve been using that for blog posts specifically related to satellite servicing policy and technology. Given that there are some people here who might be interested in some of those other topics, I thought I’d crosspost a few of my major posts this year from those other blogs:
- Some Proposed Constitutional Amendments for America’s 250th Birthday (Taong Boondocks): a blog post on six ideas for amendments that could fix some of the most broken things about our current political system. These are mostly fairly original ones, only a few of which I’ve seen discussed previously anywhere.
- Unimpeachable (Taong Boondocks): a thought experiment and some math about what would it take for a US President to be impeached and convicted/removed under the existing impeachment process. Basically why I think the current approach under the US Constitution as written is effectively useless as a check on executive power.
- A Fleet Maintenance Paradigm for Satellite Servicing (Starbright Eng): An introduction to a new paradigm for satellite servicing that can be economically relevant in a world of cheap mass-produced constellation satellites.
- Applying Fleet Maintenance for Fun and Profit (Starbright Eng): A follow-up to that previous post, about examples of things that constellations might want to use Fleet Maintenance for.
- Accountability on my 2025 personal goals, and my 2026 personal goals (Taong Boondocks)
- My reading list so far in 2026 (Taong Boondocks)
- A yummy Triple-Berry Ice-Cream Recipe (Taong Boondocks)
While Chris and Kirk have been holding down the fort here on Selenian Boondocks, I do still intend to do some posts soon, likely finishing off my Starliner Reponendum Est series, and maybe one on some random thoughts on RLV business models.
Also, on a personal update side, for those who haven’t been following me on Twitter/Facebook, my two oldest sons (of Jonny-Bloggin and Jimmy-Bloggin fame) are now serving full-time missions for our church out in Los Angeles and Louisiana respectively. I’ll probably start posting more about them periodically on Taong Boondocks.

Nice to see a lot of activity on your blogs ! I always liked Selenian Boondocks, tons of interesting stuff.
Thanks Archibald! Kirk and Chris are doing the heavy lifting lately on Selenian Boondocks, but its definitely been a better year for blogging all around.
