Should I Stay or Should I Go? The Uncertain Future of the Navy’s Super Hornets
*Caleb Larson* *, * As an unstealthy fighter, the future utility and survivability of the F/A-18 is uncertain. Still, it is unlikely that the fighter will disappear completely anytime soon. The Navy would like to take their F/A-18s fighter jets offline, but Congress isn’t having it. The future of the Navy’s venerable Super Hornet multi-role fighters is unclear. While Congress would like to see the Navy purchase more fourth-generation fighters, the Navy would like to get rid of its F/A-18s. In comments given during the Sea Air Space 2021 conference, U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Andrew... read more

The End of Western History

Actually, the Western culture started declining in the 1980s. In the twenty-first century the pace of decline has accelerated. The decline of the West is irreversible, since the Westerners have already played their world-historical role—for them history has already ended. The decline of the West might be necessary for creating space for the rise of new civilizations which will make superhum... read more

OLD-SCHOOL VOTE RIGGING VS. NEW-SCHOOL VOTE RIGGING
Richard Hasen is a legal scholar whose specialty is elections. He thinks a 2024 steal of the election could come about not as the result of a riot, but from the courts accepting the notion that (Republican-controlled) legislatures can simply reject vote counts. Come 2024, crass and boorish unsubstantiated claims of stealing are likely to give way to arcane legal arguments about the awesome power of state legislatures to run elections as they see fit....

A Stellar Analogue to the Young Sun
[image: Story 462354802] Vladimir Airapetian, senior astrophysicist in the Heliophysics Division at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, has a somewhat unusual ambition.

In other words, a rocky world scorched by its star’s transition to red giant status isn’t a true analogue of our own, but a glimpse of what it will be at another stage.
