Allies should consider a Maxar boycott and move to competitor BlackSky, deployed by Rocket Lab launches.

Here Eutelsat CEO interviewed by Bloomberg besides Ukraine also the emerging Italy, Canada/Ontario opportunity. As a side note Eutelsat OneWeb would seem like a system that would benefit from Rocket Lab Neutron capacity unless Musk hijacks FAA launch licensing.

As aerospace related, the Swedish Jas 39 Gripen multi-role fighter jet has some US parts (one of the engine alternatives I believe is Pratt & Whitney) and Trump is apparently able to veto Gripen sales to Colombia. The French Rafale is fully US independent, the Typhoon Eurofighter not 100% sure.

That's an inset but the more real picture was one where a camera on the lander took photo of its own shadow... nah it must have been the team of moon-men sub-contracted by NASA

Conditions are so extreme I regard this development nobody seems to even slow down such that for now I have no position in the company. Musk, a competitor of Rocket Lab, has obtained dictatorial powers to how US uses its money. The stock market has not yet priced in how destructive to US this is.

This was a core reason I sold all my #RKLB before Trump was inaugurated as now Musk has done a coup, and as we see he is canceling all NASA and soon DoD contracts he doesn't like. This will make it impossible for Rocket Lab to compete in us gov biz. Same applies to other space competitors. Illegal.

SPB was optimistic about no funny business as based on chatter among DOGE folks it seems the other launch contractors such as Blue Origin or Rocket Lab won't be having much govt business during the Musk/Trump Administration.

U.S. Constitution Article I sections 8 and 9 have been violated, extremely obviously. Did anybody in this country take an oath to defend the Constitution? Musk controls the main payment system of Treasury and can do anything e.g. ensure money for space only goes to SpaceX and nothing to competition.

Congress has the power of the purse in the Constitution. If Congress does not fight now, including getting arrested if not allowed in to Treasury, it's over, the Constitution has been crushed and a totalitarian era will start. Musk's cyber thieves have already installed backdoors so re-image needed

They need to pull the plugs on the servers. Reboot and reinstall from a backup. Get rid of Musks code

Now Musk is installing total-control backdoors to every government agency. This will lead to utter collapse of all rights including property rights. A vast majority don't have any clue how extremely radical this coup is, a fast path to totalitarian rule.

Now that Musk also stole read/write access to the Treasury payments system, unconstitutionally without Congress approving, the protection of property is breaking down as he can steal the People's money and use data in these systems to hack into anybody's private property or fake opponents' IRS debt.

This level of lawlessness affects everybody, companies like Rocket Lab not getting gov biz, Treasury money stolen to Musk's crypto accounts, election hacking, all becomes very possible with this level of uncontrolled access. The immorality of this makes me believe more to the Russian Tail chatter.

Just like they recently did for TikTok, time to create Youtube lookalike on the Bluesky technology. A business model to make content creation a modest source of income for these video modes and to build resiliency against Trump Administration attacks on Bluesky back end would be important as well.

Great idea. Though being progressive found myself on more than one other block lists as supposedly "MAGA" or "fascist." Started to happen after I strongly criticized the most recent SpaceX Starship flight accident and Elon, debating with one or two apparently pro-Musk handles. Muskbot sabotage?

The public news stories were quite vague on the payload, as most one can find is "a small test article" of a two-staged 1st rocket, as in the Popular Mechanics news story back in 2017:

Last Saturday I was driving Hwy 5 north and we passed a convoy of fire trucks the last flying a ripped smoke-smudged US flag. Those are the heroes, not Trump nor his trillion dollar net worth tech bros who have paid $0 to help L.A. while Taylor Swift paid $10M.

He already does blame-shift from climate. On L.A. fires it's "Democrats not raking the forests like they do in Finland" again. His cult also blames the Jewish Space Lasers. He'll visit L.A. soon, to repeat such nonsense, to ensure nobody mentions climate change.

Maybe this was Dr Strangelove salute except more unhinged. I muted the video but guessed Elon said something like "My fellow oligarchs, embrace za future, after we have robbed za Earth dry and za apocalypse starts, we all can escape to space in my rocketz, each of you with 10 Aryan virgins."

Yeah saw the Path of Exile 2 gamer videos and Elonia Snowflake then trying to shadow ban the real gamers. Pathetic.

I follow European media and Elonia with his pro-Nazi meddling has pissed off so many there from UK to Germany to France to Poland to Nordics (not only Denmark) that a host of massive campaigns to quit X today are happening there which may be why he may have disabled account closure for today.

There are troll armies globally parroting Bluesky is dead while activity research shows X is so bot driven Bsky user engagement is often much better. His X follower count is faked and so Elonia massively faking X usage with all tricks should be no surprise to anybody.

Elonia searching for methods to disrupt Bluesky? This prompted me to randomly remember the "Russian Tail" chatter.
