Not going to go well if the Australian speech is any guide.

A message from Interim First Minister Misley Mandarin, from the #Chagos Islands with two of his brothers in arms.
We have won a battle for justice — but not yet the war.
Now Parliament must decide whether Britain stands by its people. 🇬🇧🇮🇴

Tell me the one person in history who, if they had lived an additional one, five, or even ten years, could have significantly changed the world.

.@SECWAR "Admiral Cooper noted this morning that the three Air Force captains who were shot down by Kuwaiti friendly fire early in the fight never left the theater.
All dropped bombs over Tehran last night."

Properly scaled diagram of the journey of Artemis II. Inertial frame of reference. No, the mission won’t land, but it will be going a tremendous distance from Earth. The green circle is the ISS orbit…
Made it for this article: planetocracy.org/p/artemis-ii-i…

ARTEMIS II MISSION TRAJECTORY
380,000 kilometers of empty space. Four astronauts. One spacecraft. And the courage to go where humanity hasn't ventured in half a century.
Artemis II — the journey home to the Moon begins in 2026.

Thread about the laundry fire.
The Angry Gunner@TheAngry53586
Ok this is interesting. Usual caveats apply. First as we discussed in the space, the fire DID spread outside the confines of the laundry, which means containment (stopping spread by radiation/ convection/ conduction) failed badly /1

That Bismarck line about God having a special providence for fools, drunks, and the United States has never rung more true.

The U.S. is running Elon's playbook on LNG: Build it before the world knows it needs it. A decade ago, American LNG exports were near zero. Today the US is the world's largest exporter at 15 billion cubic feet per day with eight new terminals under construction. Capacity doubles to 29 billion cubic feet per day by 2029. Total capital committed: $150 billion. The contracts are 20-year take-or-pay, denominated in USD. During COVID, buyers cancelled every cargo they could. They still paid billions in fixed fees. Then Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. Qatar, 20% of global LNG supply, went offline. Vessel transits dropped from 129 per day to 4. Europe needed a replacement. BUT the contracts were already signed. US share of European LNG: 27% in 2021, 56% today. Germany went from zero LNG imports to sourcing 94% from America. Japan is locked through 2050. American LNG is a 20-year legal obligation with no exit clause.

If schedule holds, these 3 giant rockets will launch in the next 3 weeks.
From left to right:
New Glenn - satellite launch now, planned for the Moon
Starship - test flight 12 now, planned for the Moon
Artemis - to the Moon and back with 4 crew aboard
Pushing the very edge of our capability as we learn how to more safely & cheaply reach space, to explore all that exists beyond.

...for example, most of China's bomber bases do in fact have aircraft shelters.
They may not be hardened shelters, but you can't just use commercial or 3rd-party (e.g., Russian) imagery to do easy drone/missile targeting, as the aircraft are at least hidden from overhead view.

@mrmikeMTL When Cabinet sent the BEF to fight with the French instead of the Belgians. All just one long disaster ever since.

@glcarlstrom Well I’m curious. Suppose transits via the toll booth reached pre-war levels. Would Europe still really have an issue over the SoH?
I think it is clear that a normal American administration would have an issue with that. Not so sure about Europe.
English
From an average of four per day (two weeks ago) to six per day (last week)
At this rate we'll be back to pre-war traffic levels by May 2027!

@CameronWEF @MarkFlegm It was annoying how some accounts here would just parrot the government put out at the press conferences.
I don’t think we had any food deliveries for the first week. Almost certainly no privately arranged ones. But somehow complaining about that would
make the situation worse?

@MarkFlegm Discovering all the weirdos on Twitter who couldn't bear to see us criticise the Shanghai government for locking us up in our apartments for months for absolutely no good reason.
English
It was a surreal experience in Shanghai during this period. The testing, the boxes of government food, the lack of news, the utter silence of the city.

Anyone want to share some memories?
