PhD Thesis from space security researcher James Pavur. This paper presents an exceptional technical analysis of modern satellites. It uncovers cyber-physical vulnerabilities that threaten essential space services. Awesome resource for understanding space cybersecurity. pavursec.com/publication/...

Data from the SWOT satellite, a Franco-American CNES/NASA mission, has produced one of the most detailed maps of the ocean floor.

#Tesla protests heat up despite #Trump threats to free speech. #Elon looking very unpopular and dragging down administration popularity. Trump won’t put up with this too much longer.

More lies from #Elon. And, a nice, true quote: “The amount of viral nonsense that is posted as news on this app, often amplified by Elon Musk, is mind-boggling’, the X user added.”

“Ugh, this is so embarrassing! I’ve just been getting this vibe recently that everyone is making fun of me behind my back. Like they’re always whispering to each other about how ugly I am.” #tesla #elon #trump

We will be AFK for a few days. So, until we post again, stay strong, safe, and well (note Oxford comma usage!) ❤️🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇦🇯🇵🇦🇺🇳🇿🇩🇰🇨🇦🇲🇽🇸🇬🇪🇺🇳🇴🇸🇪🇫🇮and all friends worldwide

Unbelievable. No, wait….very believable, actually. 😢 #cybersecurity #idiots #trump #elon

#appeasers #collaborators #trump

#Ukraine is beginning to build up its own optical #satellite network with the help of the Czech Republic. Great news! 🇺🇦🇨🇿🛰️

#Trump’s idiot head of Social Security threatened to immediately cut off all payments to recipients because he wanted DOGE to have everyone’s data and a court wouldn’t let him. Gets schooled by judge & WH and has to back down. #trump #incompetence #elon

Lakewood Park took down the US flag. 🇨🇦🍁 #tariff #canada

How much #Trump is testing the rule of law v dictatorship in the US. And why he is ultimately a coward. #scaramucci #katykay

#Kinzinger on #trump and #elon “always being the victims…not very masculine!”

NASA satellite reveals never-before-seen details of the ocean floor. Dive into the depths of discovery! #NASADiscovery #OceanExploration #SatelliteTech

Trump’s April 2nd tariffs on Canada “could lead to more than 100,000 net job losses and push the unemployment rate to 8 per cent by year end.” - Toronto Dominion #canada #tariffs #trump 🇨🇦

#elon, even funnier.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha #tesla #SpaceKaren

Pixxel’s three Firefly hyperspectral satellites have successfully captured and downlinked their ‘first light’ images, the company announced on March 18.

No surprise here...

Trump protects internet #misinformation from being considered a threat. The gifts to #Putin and the international hacking gangs keep on getting better. "infrastructure policies do not include any policies related to purported misinformation, disinformation, or misinformation" #cybersecurity #trump

🇨🇦

#Tesla’s major shareholders signal continued selling and that shares could fall further. He’s “completely neglecting Tesla” - let the investor derivative #lawsuits begin! #sueTesla #Gerber

#Firefly Aerospace achieved all objectives for Blue Ghost Mission 1, following the commercial Moon landing on March 2, 2025. The mission operated for more than 14 days of surface operations and 5 hours into the #lunar night making this the longest commercial lunar mission to date.

A #spacejunk friendly alternative to satellite swarms. Plus other benefits!

Trump terminates program tracking mass abductions of Ukrainian children. Observers fear the move has compromised evidence of war crimes by Russian officials and will hinder efforts to rescue thousands of missing Ukrainian children. Cover up of #Russia's crimes for #Putin? #Trump #warcrimes #putin

The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, is set to introduce a proposal tomorrow to tap trillions of euros parked in Europeans’ savings accounts to invest in Europe Inc., according to a draft proposal. The goal would be to take business away from US exchanges during the #TrumpTurmoil

Not often we repost #RichardBranson. But here, done for good reason and #respect on this point to both him and #Fareed. Thank you. @richardbranson.bsky.social @fareedzakaria.bsky.social

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

In the interest of curious engineers that don't like evil people. spectrum.ieee.org/satellite-ja...

#Trump’s actions to shrink the government through mass layoffs, firings and withholding funds allocated by Congress have thrown federal #cybersecurity and consumer protection programs into disarray.

Soft power doesn't make anyone hard. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/c... #VOA

About 360 million people listened to #VOA broadcasts. It was a thorn in the side first of the Soviet Union and now of Russia and China. Now it is silent, signaling the end of U.S. soft power that spread democratic values. “The world’s autocrats are doing somersaults,” the Washington Post wrote. 🇷🇺🇨🇳

Footage shows the gripping US Coast Guard rescue of a 71-year-old woman whose car became stuck in the MacKenzie River in Oregon. #USCG #rescue #Oregon

Proliferated LEO, hybrid cloud capabilities enable U.S. forces to operate more disconnected operations. With connectivity expected to be limited by the enemy in future conflicts, U.S. military forces must learn to operate without persistent communications and data. #LEO #LowEarthOrbit

#Trump claimed Ukrainian forces were surrounded and without hope in Kursk. Guess what, not so much! Despite #Trump cutting off intel, #Ukrainian forces are now mostly safely withdrawn. But it sure appears Trump tried his hardest to get them killed off. 🇺🇦 - from The Economist

#Trump and #Vance withdraw from group investigating war crimes in Ukraine. #Putin and thugs to be allowed to murder, rape, and pillage without accountability? Can the #EU and allies hold the line? #putin #warcrimes #vance
