Just watched Isotope Wars. Almost completely depersonalized world war/space race on some climactically doomed exoplanet. It's beautiful stuff.

Combat evolved.

The Navy really shit the bed in the 2010s on so many fronts when it comes to procurement.

the danger of China having reusable rockets is that their government isn’t made of fucking morons and is willing to exploit capabilities instead of just becoming the two trillionth internet constellation launcher

“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” — Proverbs 29:18

It isn’t science fiction, it’s our next mission. Our Mission Robotic Vehicle will soon head to orbit, making space house calls to satellites running low on fuel and installing satellite “jetpacks” to extend their service lives by up to eight years. It’s never been done before, and it’s just the start of a new chapter in in‑orbit servicing!

I think this is pretty serious: for several months now the @UNOOSA has not been making public new satellite registrations apparently because of an IT policy issue. A month or two I could accept, but at this point it's a failure of the international space governance regime

From December: "But in secret, the Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. military, with his blessing, supercharged a Ukrainian campaign of drone strikes on Russian oil facilities and tankers to hobble Mr. Putin’s war machine... As the campaign began to show results, Mr. Ratcliffe discussed it with Mr. Trump. The president seemed to listen to him; they had a frequent Sunday tee time. According to U.S. officials, Mr. Trump praised America’s surreptitious role in these blows to Russia’s energy industry. They gave him deniability and leverage, he told Mr. Ratcliffe, as the Russian president continued to “jerk him off.” The energy strikes would come to cost the Russian economy as much as $75 million a day, according to one U.S. intelligence estimate. The C.I.A. would also be authorized to assist with Ukrainian drone strikes on “shadow fleet” vessels in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. Gas lines would start forming across Russia." nytimes.com/interactive/20…

🛰️ Three satellites just reached orbit, and they're watching for wildfires.   Earlier this morning, the first three FireSat satellites launched into orbit, marking the beginning of a new space-based wildfire detection system designed to help identify fires in near real time.   FireSat was built for one purpose: finding wildfires faster, no matter where they start. Earth Fire Alliance and CAL FIRE partnered to help test and evaluate the early concepts that brought this technology to life. Today, that work continues alongside the Earth Fire Alliance, Muon Space, Google, and partners worldwide.   These first three satellites now enter a commissioning and calibration phase, with about three months of testing before the data starts flowing to fire agencies like ours. Once the full constellation of more than 50 satellites is in orbit, FireSat will be able to detect fires as small as 5 by 5 meters anywhere on Earth, providing updated observations every 20 minutes or less.   Wildfires move fast. The sooner they're detected, the sooner we can respond. FireSat is another step in giving firefighters across the globe early detection of fires and better information to help protect lives, communities, and natural resources.   #FireSat #WildfireDetection #SpaceTechnology #Innovation #CALFIRE @MuonSpace @EarthFireAll @Google
