Space Force orbital data now out for StriX-6, launched on Mar 20, showing it in a 557 x 580 km x 50.3 deg orbit with Electron stages in 173 x 491 km and 340 x 558 km.
An Ariana Afghan Boeing 737-400 veered off the runway on landing in Kabul today. Passengers slid down emergency chutes, some injuries, and the aircraft took some damage.
Prior to Covid I could probably count on one hand how many times I had a flight discontinue all in flight service for “potential rough air”, now it happens on probably a third of my flights. Maybe more. Happens all...
RT drops IRGC claim: US F-18 'hit by air defenses over Iran' . In Reality the documented case is the March 19 F-35 that got tagged, pilot wounded by shrapnel, emergency landing confirmed by CENTCOM. No independent verification on a...
This spooky image of the B-2 is another great study of the aircraft's very organic-like leading edge shape. Nothing straight. https://t.co/vcqFIHYorX
Pour one out for NASA's Joel Montalbano. Months ago he is confirmed to appear before the US House to speak about the future of humans in low-Earth orbit. On the day before his appearance NASA basically says there isn't much...

I’m choosing my words carefully here—I have concerns putting our troops into this sort of environment, without prior c-uas testing in a high density combat environment or more direct learning from the AFU. Please factor c-UAS into these deliberations....
NASA’s biggest announcement in years, their plan for how to beat China and Russia in The Space Race 2.0! #space #nasa #moon #artemis #astrokobi
"Coastliner" is an epically great name for @United's new airplane. It evokes the old, great age of flight—which is gradually getting rebuilt anew. I'm looking forward to flying on one of these.

Cheap drones, using mobile phone components, commercial off-the-shelf electronics, guidance sensors and a cheap 550cc two-stroke petrol engine, have literally defeated the entire might of US defence spending. When cheap cameras, and more autonomous scalable AI capabilities emerge, we're in real...
I’ve been waiting literally decades for NASA to articulate a plan for a Moon base. Now Carlos Garcia-Galan is doing a masterful job of precisely this. Dozens of landings. Drones. RTGs. Rovers. Habitats. Excavators. This is incredible stuff.

This is the speech Isaacman is presently giving. What is refreshing about this is that it acknowledges NASA’s shortcomings rather than minimizing or covering them up.
