Sustainable Space Boom Will Transform the World and then The Solar System
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 22 hours ago
Right now we have the technology horsepower to do it. What is missing still is the build protocol. As i have already posted, we can go into space easiest through building a simple sphere inside a ballon that retains a working atmosphere. The sphere rotates around a zero gravity axle that can be a kilometer long to provide shipping and working dry docks as well. Suspension cables pass over the cylinder shell and down to the working outer shell(s). This can be made almost fool proof with foam filled bubbles on the inner surface of the balloon. All the interior space can be also ...
Mass Rape, Sexual Abuse: Communist China’s Genocidal Tool to Eliminate Faith
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 22 hours ago
This is of course a description of rank barbarism applied to an alternate culture and must arise again and again. It must remain unanswered because the CCP, as the NAZIs before them apply State Secrecy to minimize exposure. Thay means we do not know hte practical truth. It could be as little as a handful in order to inform the others which is why we are hearing about it all Yet we recall that the NAZIs chose to make it their business under the shroud of war. This level of Anti - CCP propaganda must make it impossible to conduct business, just as a slew of unethical business dea...

arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 22 hours ago
What comes out of this that american and British concepts of celebrity are at least different. Certainly it is somthing that has not traveled well. What may come out of all this is very much a work in progress, Understand also that the whole artifice itself in under assault and may be unable to survive. And who would care? After all it is largely serving to grossly elevate seriously average people. Whatever for? Then their mundane lives become a press item with the connivance of their press agents. You are famous because you are famous. There is way too much of this. *...
Fascist Doctors Return With Cruel Treatment

Who Is More Trustworthy? U.S. Marines vs. Navy Seals?
Jared Keller, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Jared Keller* *Security, Americas* The two services' distinct approaches to scandals says a lot about their respective behavior. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Marine Corps' reaction to internal bad behavior is a boon for them, while the SEALs need to do some soul searching.

Russia's Killer: Why the Soviet-Era MiG-31 Fighter Is Still a Big Deal
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Russian Air Force, Europe* Moscow has hundreds of these planes and its working on modernizing them. *Key point: *These interceptors are very impressive. In fact, even now NATO is wary of them. In the last decade of the Cold War, the MiG-31, codenamed Foxhound by NATO, enjoyed a certain mystique in the West. The same grainy photos aerial photos of the high speed fighter would show up in aviation publications, along with ominous speculation over its capabilities.

*Evan Gottesman* *Russia Military, Europe* That Russia hasn’t reached parity with the most advanced air force in the world should not detract from the fact that Moscow has produced some formidable aircraft. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Tu-160 is incredibly fast for a strategic bomber, achieving a maximum speed of 2,220 km/hour. This far outpaces the American strategic bombers like the B1-B Lancer (1,448 km/hour) and the B-52 (1,000 km/hour).

The U.S. Navy Is Getting Creative to Kill Enemy Submarines
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Navy, * Should an enemy submarine surface well beyond undersea or surface drone detection range and send intelligence to attack platforms - US Navy platforms could be vulnerable in some instances. Fortified by targeting data from well beyond the horizon, enemy subs, planes and ships might, in this case, be well-positioned for a coordinated strike. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Coordinated drone autonomy has long been a focus of a fast-progressing Office of Naval Research effort called “Ghost Fleet.” The concept, which continues to make rapid strides forw...

"Our world is not safe. It is a toxic swamp populated by predators and parasites. The odds are stacked against us from the moment of conception. We survive only because we fight the elements, hunger, disease, each other. And, although civilization promises us safe harbor, that promise is a fairy tale. Only the storm is real. It comes for each of us. And we cannot win. We can only choose how we will suffer our defeat.

Although GPS-guided precision artillery burst onto the Army war scene in Iraq in 2007 with Excalibur shells, artillery has historically been an “area weapon” intended to blanket enemy positions with incoming fire to enable forces to maneuver in warfare. The advent of precision changed this equation and given warzone commanders new options to find a...
