  • Ah but you're basing this analysis on competent historical fascists

  • Elon Musk says SpaceX will decommission Dragon spacecraft after Trump threat

  • I suspect Trump will more likely move more of the R&D under the auspices of the USSF (ie the Space Force). He can't claim to have "created" NASA, but the space force is his baby.

  • There is no magic system that will allow us all to live in a world where we don't have to be ever vigilant against corruption. That will ALWAYS be the price of freedom. FOREVER. But we can make it easier on ourselves. Good laws can't solve all our problems, but they can keep them manageable.

  • We all choose makey-uppy things to believe in, through which we interpret the purpose of our own existence. There's no objective reason to be kind to strangers beyond what we can get out of it - there are plenty of billionaires in the world to prove that selfishness and greed is a valid life strategy - but we CHOOSE to BELIEVE in made-up concepts like fairness and love, because it makes most of us happier to live that way. I see no reason to look down my nose at people who choose a few more made-up concepts to believe in than I do. I'm only bothered by the people who are pig-headed about it, incapable of accepting that people believe in different things than they do... and that category includes people who say "faith is idiocy".

  • An in-space propulsion company just raised a staggering amount of money

  • "We had been operating relatively conservatively, in how many people we were allowing ourselves to hire and capital expenditures," Romo said. "This will allow us to release a little bit of that conservatism and lean into some stuff like electric propulsion and potentially other vehicles that are going to allow us to grow long-term."

    (Emphasis mine)

    He said this but then never really elaborated. This was the only part of the article I wanted to read more about. It sounded like he was talking about something akin to the EmDrive, but my understanding was that the EmDrive had been debunked as a measurement calibration error, so I'm curious WTF he's talking about.

  • 34% of Russian strategic missile bombers at main airfields damaged in Ukrainian drone operation, SBU reports

  • Doubling the already over the top european military budget isn’t going to fix any of the things in your first list.

    Can I ask you to expand on that thought?

  • BREAKING: Russia’s Crimean Bridge rocked by explosions, Ukraine’s SBU claims responsibility

    Jump

  • Judging by the video, the Russians seem to have placed barriers around the supports as buffers against this exact sort of thing. The explosion's centre seems to be at one of these barriers rather than at the support itself. It'll take another drone to go through that hole and hit the support, I think. Of course, I'm no expert - I'm just trying to interpret what I'm seeing.

  • Can I ask your security assessment of:

    • The Transatlantic cables?
    • The recent network outages in Spain?
    • Transnistria?
    • Gagauzia?
    • The EU-Belarus border?
    • The North African migrant crisis?
    • The ongoing cyberattacks that have been hitting Europe for years?
    • The price of wheat?

    Then I would ask your assessment of how much the EU should plan on relying on the USA for its security over the long term.

    • Threats to annex Greenland?
    • Threats to annex Canada?
    • Threats to seize control of the Panama Canal?
    • Kill switches in the F-35?
    • Sentiments expressed during the Signalgate Incident about the US doing all the work in securing the Red Sea?
    • Attempts to influence European elections?
    • Growing American control of the Western Internet?

  • Not to mention if they were able to pull off a mission like this, allegedly using cell towers to fly their drones, what’s stopping them from doing similar limited missions to tank factories, recruit depots, and other places that are further away from the front? Literally all of these targets now become viable because they will be much less heavily guarded than the nuclear triad bombers.

    I assume the cell tower thing was exploiting an oversight or other vulnerability that can only be exploited once before Russia plugs the hole. Maybe they can do it again but it would be relying on enemy incompetence, which is in plentiful supply these days but still not a good idea to rely upon.

  • There’s a war everywhere in the world and will be untill we die probably

    This is defeatist thinking. Mankind had, in all its thousands of years, never gone to the Moon, but then came 1969 and we did it. Everything's impossible until you actually do it. The past is useful data to extrapolate from, yes, but that doesn't mean that everything that went before is an immutable fact of existence for all time.

    We don't lack the ability to end war, we only lack a plan.

  • I don't want Hamas to conquer Israel but I would like the Palestinian people to stop getting genocided and/or ethnically cleansed. In other words, I would like for Israel and Palestine to reach a peace deal that allows BOTH of them to live in peace, along borders as close to the 1949 Green Line borders as possible (obviously a lot has changed since 1949 and some changes are unlikely to be ever willingly undone, but it should be possible to get close - certainly closer than they are now).

    I also think that this is almost certainly going to be impossible as long as Netanyahu and Hamas are in charge. Palestinians need to get rid of Hamas and Israelis need to get rid of Netanyahu.

  • PiS isn't pro-Russia so much as it's anti-EU. They see Brussels the same way they see Moscow: as a sinister foreign power that wants to control Poland, and they see Poland as surrounded by the EU and Russia, with only the USA as a trustworthy ally keeping both in check.
