The Air Force needs to be prepared to fight against an adversary like China
in a highly contested environment where no side enjoys consistent air superiority.
A major part of the recent training involved the Space Force
and simulating how enemy forces would use space-based capabilities and technologies, like satellites and sensors,
in a potential high-end conflict.
Other components, like maintaining communications and command and control elements, were tested a…

The formation and evolution of dust in the colliding-wind binary Apep revealed by JWST: #binary Apep [...] reveal an intricate series of nested concentric dust shells that are abundant in detailed substructure. The striking regularity in these substructures between successive shells suggests an exactly repeating formation mechanism combined with a highly stable outflow that maintains a consistent morphology even after reaching 0.6 pc (assuming a distance of 2.4 kpc) into the interstellar medium."

In the fable of the goose that lays the golden eggs, the greedy people kill the goose because they want all the gold at once.
The thing that really gets me about •this• moment is that the oligarchs aren’t even doing that. They’re killing the magical goose because they don’t like what color it is, and besides they think it has an uppity attitude.
Yes, there’s the fantasy stories about infinite AI prosperity, but that’s BS and they know it. Once the goose is dead and it turns out there’s no gold inside, once US economic and tech success is just ruins and memories, these people are 100% going to say “well at least that damn goose is dead.”

The most telling thing?
They’re absolutely not trying to hide who they are.
And as “rebuttals” they’re not defending or relativizing what they’re doing—they just straight out dehumanize their critics as “clowns” or “hysterical”*.
*oh hey it’s not only an hominem but also a misogynistic term
