@ProfAviLoeb agreed, cosmic rays contaminate the raw catalog, so we cleaned out the non-round tracks/kept only stellar PSFs. The nuclear + shadow signals got stronger, not weaker. I also ran your Kp test.. shadow deficit holds in every bin and is biggest at high Kp. Storms scale the count not the geometry. You talk about Galileo. His point was to put his eye to the lens, not trust the charts authorities hand you regarding what’s up in space. So let’s look.. on Rubin. (Btw, how do you know @DNIGabbard so well?)
Let’s work together, not against.

The blunt answer is that there is no abort system on Starship.
And, sorry, a giant mega-rocket will never be as consistently safe and reliable as an airliner.
Even Falcon 9 still has failures, every now and then, that would be really problematic to a crew with no abort system.
Furthermore, Starship has no Apollo-like abort system for Lunar Starship either. The Apollo LEM had a dedicated abort engine that could hurl the ascent stage to safety if the descent stage had a malfunction.
If Lunar Starship experiences a catastrophic malfunction with its Raptor propulsion system, the Artemis crew will smash into the lunar surface...game over.
Then again, the new Blue Moon has the same problem. The old National Team lander had an ascent stage and abort capability, but not the new one.
These new lunar explorers are incredibly brave. They are taking risks that Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan never did.

@SpaceX I do wanna ask one thing related to starship, how would launch aboard work if something goes wrong mid launch, say already off the pad mid flight something goes wrong like a fuel leak in super heavy or something else, how would the crew on the starship evacuated to safety

🇺🇸 The answer to whether alien satellites orbit Earth could come from one phone call.
Dr. Avi Loeb says we already have someone who knows.
"We can go to Tulsi Gabbard, the director of National Intelligence, we can ask her, are you aware of any technological satellite which is not human made in orbit around the Earth right now?"
If she says no, that's your answer.

🇺🇸 The "alien" label might be a deliberate cover story to protect classified military secrets from adversaries. Dr. Avi Loeb breaks down exactly how that deception would work. "You can spread misinformation this way and avoid giving your adversaries the knowledge of what you actually are developing or what you know about them." The scary part is we have no way to tell the difference until someone shows the evidence. @DrAviLoeb

@UAPWatchers Oh, my responses on Medium were not polite. They were impulsive, and have since been deleted, but Loeb is pissed.
After years of ignoring my emails, this is what he chose to respond to.
It appears that Loeb is only supportive of controversial astronomy that he thought of.

🚨Avi Loeb's Cosmic Ray Argument Does Not Debunk Beatriz Villarroel's Transients Research
I have to be honest here, I am disappointed in Avi Loeb, the man that tried to convince the world that unusual comets were spacecraft. Not because he offered a skeptical explanation for Beatriz Villarreols work, after all skepticism is part of science. Plate defects, cosmic rays, instrumental artifacts all have to be considered. Anyone looking at old photographic sky surveys has to deal with those problems head on, and Beatriz Villarroel's work has never pretended otherwise.
What really bothers me about Loeb's latest article is the sudden confidence. Keep in mind that this is the same Avi Loeb who has spent years asking the public, the media, and the scientific establishment to keep an open mind about the possibility that unusual astronomical objects could be artificial. He pushed hard on Oumuamua. He has continued to push hard on interstellar objects. He has argued that we shouldn't dismiss technological hypotheses simply because they make people uncomfortable. That was the whole point of his public brand, look at the data, don't let taboo decide the conclusion, and don't allow scientific arrogance to shut down uncomfortable possibilities too early.
Now Beatriz Villarroel and her collaborators are doing something very similar with historical sky survey data, and suddenly the answer is apparently simple as far as Loeb is concerned... cosmic rays.
That's not a debunk, it's a hypothesis and right now, Loeb is treating his hypothesis with far more certainty than the evidence allows for.
In his latest Medium piece, Loeb argues that unexplained lights in Apollo era imagery and transient point sources on Palomar plates may be explained by energetic particles striking film or photographic plates. He notes that some blue light artifacts appear outside the lens covered region of Apollo film, which is a fair point for that specific subset of imagery but he is also ignoring the fact that the astronauts witnessed the lights outside of camera clicks. He then extends that logic toward the Palomar transient problem, arguing that the typical photographic plate area and exposure time could produce large numbers of cosmic ray impacts, some of which may appear point-like if the incidence angle is close enough to perpendicular.
But that is where the problem begins. Loeb isn't simply saying, "Cosmic rays are a possible contamination source." Everyone and anyone that is serious already knows that. He is implying that this mechanism may account for the population of anomalous Palomar transients associated with Villarroel's work. That is a much stronger claim, and it needs more than a back of the envelope estimate.
Villarroel’s research isn't built on one weird dot on one plate. The work concerns transient, star-like sources in the first Palomar Observatory Sky Survey, taken before Sputnik, before the human satellite era. In the 2025 Scientific Reports paper by Stephen Bruehl and Beatriz Villarroel, the authors analyzed daily data from November 19, 1949 through April 28, 1957 and reported statistically significant associations between transient detections, nuclear testing windows, and UAP report dates. Their abstract states that transients were 45% more likely within plus or minus one day of nuclear testing, and that for days with at least one transient, each additional independent UAP report corresponded to an 8.5% increase in the number of identified transients.
Of course that doesn't prove alien technology or orbital craft. It doesn't prove a non human presence. But it absolutely does mean the data deserves more than a generic "cosmic rays can make spots" dismissal.
Loeb's weak argument would be stronger if Villarroel's claim were "We found random dots on old plates." But that is not the full claim. The stronger parts of the research involve timing, clustering, alignment, absence in follow up exposures, and the pre-Sputnik context. Scientific American summarized the work by noting that Villarroel's team used digitized Palomar Sky Survey plates from before Sputnik specifically to reduce the possibility of modern satellite contamination, and identified more than 107,000 transient candidates under the VASCO project.
That's an important point because cosmic rays are not magic. They don't automatically explain every point-like transient simply because they can affect photographic emulsions. To function as a full explanation, they need to reproduce the observed properties of the data. They need to explain why certain transient populations appear with reported temporal associations. They need to explain the reported deficit in Earth's shadow if that result holds up. They then need to explain aligned multiple transient events if those are not statistical coincidences. They need to explain why the objects appear in one exposure and not in immediate comparison exposures in the manner described by the researchers. They need to explain the actual morphology, distribution, plate position, detection pipeline behavior, and negative controls.
That is the difference between proposing a control and claiming a debunk. Loeb points to the number of possible cosmic ray hits during a typical Palomar exposure and estimates that some could appear point-like. Ok Fine. That is a useful calculation. But a rate estimate is not the same as an end to end reproduction of the phenomenon. A real debunk would require showing that cosmic ray events, processed through the same plates, same scanning history, same detection methods, and same selection criteria, reproduce the same transient population Villarroel's team is discussing otherwise, it's just a plausible contaminant being presented as a conclusion.
The irony here is hard to miss. When Loeb argues for possible artificiality in interstellar objects, he rightly complains that many scientists reject the hypothesis before doing the work. He says unusual data deserves unusual attention. He says the scientific community shouldn't ridicule frontier questions. He says we should collect better data instead of protecting old assumptions, and I agree with that. So why does Beatriz Villarroel's work not get the same treatment?
Villarroel is not some random internet personality throwing screenshots into a thread. She is an astronomer and theoretical physicist associated with the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, and Scientific American identified her as the driving force behind the two 2025 papers on the Palomar transients. One was published in Scientific Reports after a six month peer review process, and the other appeared in Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.
Again, peer review doesn't make a claim true, but it does mean the work deserves to be engaged on its actual arguments, not flattened into glib statements like "old plates have artifacts."
The best rebuttal to Villarroel would not be a blog post saying cosmic rays exist. The best rebuttal would be a direct reproduction study. I suggest that Avi takes known plates, model cosmic ray incidence. Compare morphology, angular distribution, plate edge behavior. Compare shadow region rates, aligned multiple events and immediate red and blue exposure behavior. Compare the full statistical timing against nuclear test dates and historical UAP reports. Then show whether cosmic rays actually reproduce the same results.
That would move the discussion forward. Loeb's piece doesn't do that. He is also mixing up categories. Apollo film artifacts and Palomar survey transients aren't the same dataset. They are not the same observing system. They are not the same scientific question. Apollo images showing blue artifacts outside the lens area may be strong evidence for particle hits on those specific frames. But using that to dismiss the Palomar transient literature isn't science, it's analogy dressed up as resolution.
And the larger issue with this is that "cosmic rays" has become the new "balloons" or "swamp gas" in some parts of the scientific conversation. It is a real explanation in some cases, but frankly it's also a lazy escape hatch when used too broadly. If the answer is cosmic rays, prove it against the dataset. Don't just announce it because the alternative is uncomfortable.
There is a responsible middle ground here. Beatriz Villarroel's research may ultimately turn out to involve a mixture of plate defects, cosmic rays, contamination, atmospheric effects, statistical artifacts, unknown natural phenomena, and possibly something more interesting. That is exactly why it deserves deeper investigation. The correct position is not blind belief. The correct position is that the data remains unresolved until the proposed explanations actually reproduce the evidence. Loeb should know that better than anyone.
He built his modern reputation on the argument that scientific culture often mistakes conservatism for rigor. He warned that unusual possibilities can be prematurely dismissed because they challenge institutional comfort. He asked people to consider artificial explanations for astronomical anomalies without treating the idea itself as forbidden. That same standard should apply here.
If Oumuamua deserved open minded analysis, then so do the Palomar transients. If interstellar objects deserve technological hypotheses, then pre-Sputnik vanishing stars deserve proper investigation.
If we shouldn't mock possible alien probes in deep space, then we shouldn't casually dismiss Beatriz Villarroel's work with a broad cosmic ray argument that hasn't yet carried the full burden of proof.
Science does not move forward by choosing which anomalies are fashionable enough to protect Dr. Loeb.
Loeb may well be right that some historical UFO imagery has been confused with energetic particle effects. In fact, he almost certainly is right in some cases. But that isn't the same as debunking Villarroel's work. The real question is whether cosmic rays can explain the specific structure, timing, distribution, and statistical behavior of the Palomar transient population.
Until that is shown, this is not a debunk. It's a lazy attempt to close the door before the hard work has been done, and coming from Avi Loeb, that is exactly what makes it so disappointing.

🚨 EPIC TURN OUT — BRITISH PATRIOTS ARE FLOODING LONDON IN RECORD NUMBERS TO TAKE THEIR COUNTRY BACK FROM KEIR STARMER’S GLOBALIST NIGHTMARE! 🇬🇧🦁
This massive sea of people is undeniable proof the native Brits have had ENOUGH. Years of grooming gangs, mass migration overload, two-tier policing, exploding crime, and cultural replacement under Labour — the sleeping giant is wide awake and marching. Keir Starmer isn’t ready and the elites are panicking.
This isn’t “far right.” This is normal, civilized British citizens saying Britain belongs to the British. Flags waving, peaceful but powerful energy, and the numbers are only growing. Tommy Robinson and the patriots are leading the charge against surrender and betrayal.
The same fire is spreading across the West. People are rejecting open borders insanity, weak leaders, and the erasure of their heritage. London is sending a thunderous message today that the natives are reclaiming what’s theirs.
The fake news will try to smear them or downplay the scale, but the pictures don’t lie. Starmer’s regime is on notice. The Great British Awakening is here and it’s unstoppable.
This needs to go ABSOLUTELY VIRAL worldwide. Share it far and wide so the globalists can’t hide how massive this movement has become. The tide is turning.
BRITAIN IS RISING. THE NATIVES ARE RECLAIMING THEIR HOMELAND. NO MORE SURRENDER 🔥🇬🇧🦁✝️
