This is wild... Russia seems to be threatening a *commercial* satellite that provides imaging services to Ukraine: ▸ starting about two weeks ago, Russia started maneuvering five (!) of their classified satellites to the same orbital inclination as the ICEYE satellite ▸ these burns were big, on the order of 100 m/s, clearly using chemical propulsion given the speed of the burns — very expensive and deliberate maneuvers ▸ as of last Friday, all five Russian satellites are now co-planar, at ~97.8° inclination, with three of ICEYE's satellites, and aligned in other orbital elements (e.g. RAAN) that make it clear they're specifically targeting this set ▸ I am a little skeptical that Russia is specifically targeting -X36 — there are two other satellites at the same inclination/RAAN (-X37 and -X38) — but the Russian sats are now all within striking distance of -X36, which is why people are concerned about it specifically; the closest cross-track distance is an estimated 500 meters (!!), all while the satellites are orbit 550 kilometers above Earth ▸ Russia has unleashed a cyberattack on a commercial satellite before (Viasat), and it is official Russian policy that commercially-owned infrastructure that aids in military efforts "may be legitimate target[s] for a retaliatory strike.” ▸ there's speculation that this could be a precursor to an RPO mission (meaning: physically grabbing the satellite or some other kind of non-kinetic attack like blinding/jamming) Worth tracking closely. And unfortunately more evidence that space is militarizing, fast.

Dow Chemical is putting a nuclear reactor on a petrochemical plant. First industrial-scale advanced nuclear deployment in North America. X-energy's Xe-100 at Dow's Seadrift, Texas facility: → 4 units × 80 MWe = 320 MW electricity → 200 MW of high-temperature steam per unit for industrial processes → Baseload power + industrial heat...Simultaneously. This is the capability gap no one talks about. Solar and wind generate electricity. They can't deliver the high-pressure, high-temperature steam that chemicals, refining, and heavy industry run on. Nuclear can and Long Mott is the first proof of concept at industrial scale. AI data centers get all the nuclear headlines. But industrial heat is 20% of global energy demand with almost no clean alternatives. If this works at Seadrift, the replication opportunity across petrochemicals, steel, and refining is enormous. Dow didn't sign a clean power certificate. It put a reactor on its own site.

What I like with X is that anyone can be writing anything behind their screen and no one will know who they are I could be the one controlling this world and laughing at y’all & you wouldn’t even know… isn’t that beautifully interesting?
