Máme za sebou polovinu Czech Disc Golf Tour po turnajích FALCON Open a Grabštejn Open. Oba dva turnaje byly novinkami v nejvyšší české lize a zaslouží si tedy extra pozornost. Už od loňského roku jsme o obou lokacích slyšeli mnoho pozitivního. Splnily naše očekávání? Zároveň jsme si zahráli dvě jihomoravské zastávky Amatérské discgolfové ligy – Kobylí Open a našemu srdci nejbližší Moravský Krumlov Open. Jak se nám hrálo a taky organizovalo takový turnaj? A jaké novinky můžete očekávat na pevném hřišti v Moravském Krumlově? To vše v uvolněné atmosféře devadesáté deváté epizody.

Welcome back to Astronomy Daily! In today's episode, Anna and Avery cover six of the biggest stories in space and astronomy for Friday June nineteenth, twenty twenty-six — from a salty surprise on a mysterious pink world to a little rover completing a marathon on Mars.   Story 1: JWST Reveals Salty Clouds on the 'Pink Planet' GJ504b Northwestern University astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to finally crack open the spectrum of GJ504b — the so-called 'Pink Planet' 57 light-years away. The discovery, published in The Astronomical Journal on June 18, reveals an atmosphere filled with exotic chemistry and salt clouds unlike anything previously observed. At just 550°F, it's the coldest planetary-mass companion ever directly imaged. Whether it's a giant planet or a brown dwarf remains an open question, but its salty skies are a first for astronomy. Study led by Aneesh Baburaj, Northwestern University's CIERA. Story 2: Astronomers Solve the Mystery of Black Holes' Delayed Radio 'Burps' Using the NSF's Very Large Array, a team led by Kate Alexander (University of Arizona) has found that roughly 40% of all tidal disruption events — moments when a supermassive black hole shreds a passing star — produce a powerful delayed radio burst months to years after the initial flare. The study, announced June 16, also identifies a chemical fingerprint in early optical spectra that can predict which black holes are likely to produce these late-stage outbursts, giving astronomers a roadmap for long-term monitoring. Story 3: SpaceX Launches NROL-179 — the 14th NRO Proliferated Architecture Mission SpaceX launched NROL-179 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in the early hours of June 19, making it the 14th mission dedicated to building out the National Reconnaissance Office's 'proliferated architecture' — a constellation of small, resilient surveillance satellites. It was the 71st Falcon 9 launch of 2026. Mission details including satellite count and orbit remain classified. Story 4: Astrobotic Unveils Griffin-1: NASA's Moon Base II Lander Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic publicly revealed its Griffin-1 lunar lander on June 15, ahead of environmental testing at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Designated 'Moon Base II' by NASA, Griffin-1 is a 650kg-capacity infrastructure-class lander targeting the lunar south pole region. It will carry 10 payloads from 6 nations, led by Astrolab's FLIP rover (500kg), and is scheduled to launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy in Q4 2026. Astrobotic has been recently acquired by Voyager Technologies. Story 5: Lucy Reveals the Life Story of Double-Lobed Asteroid Donaldjohanson Results from NASA's Lucy spacecraft's April 2025 flyby of asteroid 52246 Donaldjohanson were published in Science on June 18. The study, led by Simone Marchi (Southwest Research Institute), reveals a contact binary with a surface over 40 million years old and a younger neck (under 20 million years) built by slow-motion landslides triggered as sunlight gradually braked the asteroid's rotation from a few hours to its current 252.6-hour period. Donaldjohanson is likely a fragment of the Erigone family's parent body, destroyed ~155 million years ago. Story 6: Perseverance Rover Completes a Marathon Distance on Mars NASA's Perseverance rover has driven more than 26.2 miles (42.2 km) on Mars since landing in Jezero Crater in February 2021 — completing a marathon distance. The rover continues science operations beyond the crater's western rim, studying some of the oldest rocks in the mission's history. Perseverance is approaching Opportunity's all-time distance record of 45.16 km for a rover on another world. Mission operations are funded through at least 2028.   Links & References • JWST Pink Planet (GJ504b): The Astronomical Journal, June 18 2026 — Northwestern University / CIERA • TDE Radio Burps: NSF VLA / University of Arizona — Kate Alexander et al., announced June 16 2026 • NROL-179: space.com / spaceflightnow.com — launched June 19 2026 • Griffin-1: astrobotic.com / spacenews.com / spaceflightnow.com — unveiled June 15 2026 • Lucy / Donaldjohanson: Science journal, June 18 2026 — Simone Marchi, Southwest Research Institute • Perseverance Marathon: space.com — June 18 2026Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-space-news-updates--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

SpaceX began trading under the ticker SPCX, opening at $150 per share and implying a valuation above $2 trillion, according to qz.com. The company led by CEO Elon Musk operates launch services with Falcon rockets and the Starlink satellite broadband network, while developing Starship for heavy payloads. Early trading is expected to be volatile, with lockup periods limiting insider sales and potential index inclusion only after eligibility reviews. A valuation at this level focuses attention on capital allocation to Starlink satellites, ground infrastructure, and launch facilities in Texas and Florida. Competitive pressure persists from Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, Viasat, Iridium, and Amazon's Project Kuiper. Investors will weigh recurring Starlink revenue against aerospace execution risks tied to launches, regulation, and geopolitics.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

SpaceX finally went public and made Elon a paper trillionaire, but the bigger story is what it says about America's ability to mobilize industry when it counts. Marty and John draw a line from that milestone to the geopolitical chessboard—whether the new US-Iran deal sticks, how Washington is using energy dominance and dollar leverage, and why Anthropic's Fable 5 got yanked by export controls. They also dig into Dario Amodei's AI roadmap, the Social Security math speeding toward 2032, and why the bond market may force a pro-liquidity future that makes US Bitcoin dominance impossible to ignore.

El programa destaca la conclusión de la histórica visita del Papa León XIV a España, con especial atención a Canarias. Su vuelo de regreso sufre una avería, y el Rey Felipe VI le cede su Falcon, protagonizando una anécdota al detectar el problema. La visita subraya la cercanía del Papa y su enfoque en la migración. Coincidiendo con esto, entra en vigor el nuevo Pacto de Asilo y Migración de la UE, que endurece las condiciones y genera incertidumbre entre las organizaciones sociales. Por otro lado, se abre una investigación judicial contra Rodríguez Zapatero por posible delito fiscal y contrabando de joyas valoradas en más de 1.3 millones de euros, sin justificación de origen ni impuestos. La presidenta del Poder Judicial defiende a los jueces ante las críticas, subrayando la importancia de la honestidad profesional. Finalmente, se revela la ascendencia canaria del Papa León XIV, con raíces en La Palma, un hecho que conecta su historia familiar con la migración histórica de las ...

El programa destaca la incidencia en el vuelo de regreso del Papa a Roma desde Tenerife, donde una avería en el avión de Iberia provoca que el Rey Felipe VI le ofrezca su Falcon. Se subraya el mensaje del Papa sobre la integración de los migrantes, condenando a quienes trafican con personas, y se narra la historia de Nbaye Dieng, un joven senegalés cuya obra de arte llega al Vaticano. En el ámbito nacional, se informa sobre la investigación a José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero por delito fiscal o contrabando relacionado con joyas, y se anticipan sentencias importantes como la de Ábalos. También se abordan las citaciones judiciales a Jacobo Tejelo y las comparecencias del Fiscal General y el ministro Marlasca en el Senado, así como la próxima sentencia europea sobre la amnistía. Finalmente, se analiza la inflación, que se mantiene en el 3.2% en mayo, con un aumento de la subyacente debido al encarecimiento de servicios como viajes y hoteles.

El programa informa sobre el incidente en el aeropuerto de Tenerife Norte, donde el avión del Papa León XIV sufre una avería, retrasando su regreso a Roma. El Rey Felipe VI ofrece su Falcon de la Fuerza Aérea Española para que el Papa continúe su viaje, un gesto muy valorado. El propio Rey detecta el fallo. El Papa ya vuela hacia Roma en el avión real. La visita de seis días del Papa a España es un éxito, con discursos en el Congreso, una vigilia, una misa en Madrid, la inauguración de la Torre de Jesús en la Sagrada Familia de Barcelona, y encuentros con migrantes en Canarias, donde transmite un mensaje de esperanza.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-10-26.Greg Scarlatoiu analyzes Xi Jinping's visit to Pyongyang, noting that Kim Jong-un now views himself as a strategic equal to Xi and Putin. Despite sanctions, North Korea's economy shows a facade of growth fueled by billions made exporting artillery and special forces to Russia. Kim is also modernizing his security apparatus into a structure similar to Russia's FSB. (1)Professor Jim Holmes discusses the naval balance between the U.S. and China, suggesting the PLA Navy aims for six aircraft carriers to project power in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean. While China has made strides in naval aviation without the heavy losses the U.S. historically endured, Holmes believes they still lag behind in technological sophistication and human tactical proficiency. (2)Victoria Coates highlights Taiwan's indispensable role in the global AI revolution through TSMC's high-end chip production, which the U.S. and China currently cannot replicate. She emphasizes that Taiwan's engineering "super workers" are a state secret. Coates also discusses the political friction in Washington regarding arms sales and the need for Taiwan to increase its own defense spending. (3)Victoria Coates addresses the Pentagon's decision to list major Chinese companies like BYD and Alibaba as security risks due to their military ties. She argues for clear country-of-origin labeling on products to inform American consumers. Furthermore, Coates criticizes the Biden administration for prioritizing climate goals over addressing China's use of forced labor in the solar panel supply chain. (4)Natalie Ecanow details Qatar's massive $400 billion investment footprint in the United States, including high-profile real estate like New York's Park Lane Hotel and significant orders for Boeing aircraft. She argues these investments are not merely financial but serve to buy long-term political influence and goodwill with American policymakers, regardless of party affiliation, by embedding Qatari wealth into the U.S. economy. (5)Natalie Ecanow explains that Qatari wealth is controlled by the Al-Thani autocracy, whose values often conflict with U.S. interests, such as their support for Hamas and the Taliban. She highlights the lack of transparency in Qatarifunding, citing a lawsuit that revealed nearly half a billion dollars in undisclosed money sent to Texas A&M University, and calls for stricter U.S. disclosure laws. (6)Joel Kotkin examines the definition of fascism, arguing that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is not a fascist because she respects democratic norms. He identifies China's government-led economy as the closest modern parallel to historical fascism. Kotkin also warns of "techno-fascism," where a small group of global tech companies exert unprecedented control over public opinion and information through surveillance tools. (7)Joel Kotkin disputes the label of "fascist" for the MAGA movement, noting it lacks the youth-driven, paramilitary organization characteristic of movements led by Mussolini or Hitler. He describes MAGA as a chaotic coalition of various interest groups held together by Donald Trump's personality. Kotkin emphasizes that using the term as a political slur ruins the possibility of necessary civil discourse. (8)Michael Bernstam discusses a looming glut of liquefied natural gas driven by record U.S. shale production, which is stabilizing energy prices in Europe. Regarding Russia, he explains that while crude exports continue, Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries have created a domestic manufacturing crisis, leading to fuel shortages for Russian agriculture and industry that are difficult to repair under sanctions. (9)Michael Bernstam reveals that China has significantly reduced its oil imports by nearly half by drawing on massive strategic reserves of 1.4 billion barrels and increasing electric vehicle adoption. Simultaneously, the U.S. has reached record domestic oil production of nearly 14 million barrels per day. These factors combined help lower global oil prices despite declining inventories in other OECD countries. (10)Tal Fortgang explores Justice Scalia's legal philosophy through a biography by James Rosen, focusing on Scalia's dissent in Lee v. Weisman regarding religious benedictions at public graduations. Fortgang explains how Scaliapopularized "originalism" and "textualism," arguing that the Constitution should be interpreted based on the original public meaning of the text rather than through subjective "moral readings" by judges. (11)Tal Fortgang discusses the "Scalian revolution" that shifted the Supreme Court toward judicial restraint. He notes that while Scalia faced a hostile press and "nasty" internal criticism from colleagues like Harry Blackmun, his ideas eventually prevailed. Fortgang also observes that the modern partisan venom in confirmation hearings began during Scalia's era with the contentious treatment of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. (12)Simon Constable reports from France on falling global commodity prices for food and energy due to supply meeting demand. He then shifts to the immigration crisis in Britain, where violent incidents in Belfast and Southampton have fueled public outrage. Constable attributes the unrest to a failure of both major parties to manage unfettered immigration and the lack of cultural integration. (13)Simon Constable discusses the declining popularity of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the potential rise of challengers like Andy Burnham. He highlights a dramatic shift in British public opinion, with polling by Lord Ashcroftshowing that a vast majority of Labour, Liberal Democrat, and Green voters—and even a third of Conservatives—now favor rejoining the European Union after a decade of Brexit. (14)Bob Zimmerman tracks the transition to commercial space, noting that private companies like Vast are leading the race to build stations to replace the aging ISS. He discusses Amazon's struggle to launch its satellite constellation due to rocket delays, contrasted with SpaceX's efficiency. Zimmerman also reports on a milestone for SpaceX, as a single Falcon 9 booster successfully completed a record 35th flight. (15)Bob Zimmerman highlights discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope, including a black hole 6 billion times the mass of the sun located 10 billion light-years away. He also describes a "flickering" quasar from the early universe that challenges current Big Bang theories. Finally, Zimmerman provides an update on the Curiosity rover as it travels through the "Grand" valley on its ascent of Mars. (16)Two name fixes: Joel Cotkin → Joel Kotkin (7, 8) — the urbanist/scholar's correct spelling Natalie Eacano → Natalie Ecanow (5, 6) — the FDD scholar's correct spelling

Finally, Falcon revives his DJ career in front of one of the toughest crowds imaginable: a bunch of 19-year-old college kids. So many things went wrong, the boys genuinely lost count. Then, Jack gives us the update on the Bali trip with both his parents and his girlfriend’s parents. We always suspected something would inevitably go wrong - but a six-hour stand-off involving the police definitely wasn’t on the bingo card.

Send us Fan MailMelissa Strong, was electrocuted at home, while working on a design project related to opening her now-acclaimed restaurant (Bird & Jim) in Estes Park, CO. She died briefly and came back, experiencing a forest and tunnel! When she came back, the damage was so severe that charred bones in her hands were visible, jutting out where fingers once were. Doctors initially told her she would likely only have four fingers left — her pinkies and index fingers. A passionate, elite climber, this was difficult news for Melissa to swallow.The recovery was long and brutal, both mentally and physically. At one point in the hospital, her arms were surgically sewn together, and she was riding a stationary bike in that condition just trying to keep her body moving and her mind sane. Six months later, she managed to open her first restaurant, and eventually found her way back to rock climbing.She wrote a memoir about the experience, published by Falcon, called Climbing Through: A Courageous Story of Grit, Healing, and Second Chances (March 3, 2026, paperback). Returning to climbing became a huge part of rebuilding both physically and mentally.This is a story of immense strength and inspiration!

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-3-2026.1907 TOJO(1) Scott Harold discusses the unprecedented question from Japan's Defense Minister at the Shangri-La Dialogueregarding America's Indo-Pacific commitment. He notes the omission of Taiwan in Secretary Hegseth's speech compared to last year. Japan remains a hawkish front-line ally, despite regional concerns over shifting US national defense priorities.(2) Rebecca Grant describes the proposed Trump class battleship, a nuclear-powered "missile truck" designed for standoff strikes. Unlike traditional battleships, it emphasizes hypersonic attack and laser weaponry. The ship would be highly survivable, defended by Space Force overwatch and advanced electromagnetic warfare techniques.(3) Steve Yates examines the KMT leader's visit to Washington following meetings with Xi Jinping. He expresses concern over the KMT cutting Taiwan's indigenous defense budget. Yates also analyzes Taiwan's "inverted triangle" demographics, where older voters remain more sympathetic to traditional KMT narratives than younger generations.(4) Steve Yates argues the "Thucydides trap" is a manufactured academic concept used by Beijing to suggest inevitable US decline. He emphasizes that the US is not a classical empire and remains globally influential. China uses this rhetoric for political warfare while remaining sensitive to American strength.(5) Michael Bernstam analyzes the humiliating Ukrainian strike on a St. Petersburg oil terminal during Putin's flagship economic forum. Russia's energy sector faces a crisis, forcing a ban on refined exports like gasoline due to refinery damage. Consequently, Russia must increase crude exports to China and India.(6) Michael Bernstam notes the OECD's warning of global recession if the Gulf energy crisis persists. While the US is depleting strategic reserves to maintain supply, it is also increasing domestic production. High prices are triggering "demand destruction," where consumers shift to public transport to mitigate energy costs.(7) Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's CEO expects to resume launches this year despite a recent launchpad explosion. Meanwhile, SpaceX secured $6 billion in Space Force contracts for tracking and communication satellites. China continues rapid development with its Long March 12B, a Falcon 9-style reusable rocket copycat.(8) Bob Zimmerman highlights Curiosity rover data confirming Gale Crater's shifting climate, which once supported warm water. The James Webb Space Telescope detected high methane levels on the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas, suggesting a unique chemical composition. Webb also captured a spectacular infrared image of the galaxy M77.(9) Jonathan Schanzer describes the "ceasefire war" in the Middle East, where Iran continues attacks despite diplomatic efforts. He argues Iran aims to detach Gulf allies like Kuwait from the West. Schanzer advocates for maximum economic pressure on Tehran and increased IDF activity against Iranian proxies.(10) Jonathan Schanzer reports that Israeli forces have reduced Hamas control in Gaza to roughly 40%, aiming for 30%. Hamas is currently trapped in an Israeli "yellow zone" kill zone, making rearmament or offensive operations nearly impossible. Schanzer believes systematic military pressure is creating a viable theory of victory.(11) Titus Techera critiques the evolution of Animal Farm films, noting the newest version depicts Silicon Valley and AI as villains. He argues this shift denatures Orwell's original anti-totalitarian message for modern ideological purposes. The 1954 version remains the most effective educational tool regarding the dangers of tyranny.(12) Gordon Chang asserts that China is a declining power facing economic stagnation and a massive demographic collapse. He notes that the US economy remains superior, particularly in energy and AI. China's youth unemployment is estimated at 35-40%, forcing university graduates into menial roles like shepherding.(13) Jack Burnham discusses how Nvidia chips reach the Chinese military through loopholes in export controls and subsidiaries. He notes bureaucratic confusion over the "AI diffusion rule" allowed Chinese firms to stockpile high-end hardware. Burnham recommends stricter Commerce Department guidance to prevent further military modernization.(14) Jack Burnham explains that Volvo, though manufacturing in the US, is owned by Geely and must comply with Chinese data-sharing laws. He also warns of China's dominance in the biotechnology supply chain. Through state subsidies and "dumping," China threatens the security of US pharmaceutical and generic drug stockpiles.(15) Ryan Streeter honors economist Ed Phelps, who defined dynamism as a culture of grassroots tinkering and indigenous innovation. He explains that growth is driven by experimental mindsets rather than just scientific labs. Streeter notes that dynamic cultures, like Austin or California, naturally attract global risk-takers.(16) Ryan Streeter discusses human flourishing, defining it as the fulfillment of potential through purpose and upward mobility. He argues that dynamic societies improve job satisfaction for hourly workers by providing more options. Conversely, stagnation in Europe results from heavy regulation and a declining cultural valuation of entrepreneurs.One naming consistency flag: segment (15) uses "Ed Phelps" while your earlier preview blurb and outreach email today used "Edmund Phelps." Both are correct—Ed is the informal—but if you want consistency across the day's broadcast, I can swap to Edmund Phelps.

(7) Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's CEO expects to resume launches this year despite a recent launchpad explosion. Meanwhile, SpaceX secured $6 billion in Space Force contracts for tracking and communication satellites. China continues rapid development with its Long March 12B, a Falcon 9-style reusable rocket copycat.1901

Carl and Chris get into some more football talk as they react to Jared Verse's comments about seeing Browns' players moving in OTAs like players determined to be playing football ini January and as they discuss, they shift to why they believe people need to stop being negative about the Kevin Stefanski hire as he notes he believes the former Browns coach has done enough even in Cleveland to prove he can help the Falcons turn around.

Carl and Chris get back into some Falcon talk as they share thoughts about what makes them feel good about where the team and what the potential of the season could be, to which Chris notes the hiring of Matt Ryan and some of the additions to the defense are things to give him reason to be optimistic.

Surprised - No.... --- This is another story similar to what we saw a few months ago - Taiwan prosecutors suspect that three individuals smuggled at least one shipment of Nvidia Corp. AI chips to China after first exporting them to Japan. - The trio was detained for allegedly falsifying documents related to exports of Super Micro Computer Inc. servers containing advanced Nvidia chips, which the US has barred from sale to China without a license. - Taiwan authorities seized about 50 servers for which they accuse the trio of preparing fraudulent export documents, but at least one shipment had already gone through Taiwan customs and made it to Hong Kong. Under/Over? - Tesla will be somehow folder/merged or taken over by SpaceX in an all stock deal - Tesla market cap is $1.6 Trillion so that will be a tough one to take on as SpaceX is about equal in size. ---- If this happens, when ?

If you've ever stared at a shrinking salmon season and wondered who decides this stuff—and why—this episode is for you. Jamie sits down with Gabe Miller, longtime fishing buyer and 14-year member of the Puget Sound Sport Fishing Advisory Group, to pull back the curtain on North of Falcon, the models behind your seasons, and the one 30-second habit that could actually help. You'll walk away understanding the system better than 99% of anglers out there.Episode Overview:How North of Falcon, the feds, the tribes, and Canada all have to line up before your inside seasons get setWhy the $3 billion economic value of WA sport fishing keeps getting ignoredWhat VTRs are and how filling them out honestly protects future seasonsWhy "don't tell the fish checker anything" is quietly hurting all of usHow the advisory group really works—and why those hallway relationships matterThe real bottleneck in the whole season-setting process (it's not what you'd think)Timestamps: 00:00 – Meet Gabe Miller & his PNW fishing background 00:02 – The serendipitous path to becoming a fishing buyer 00:05 – The $3 billion sport fishing economy nobody credits 00:11 – How losing steelhead opportunity pulled him into advocacy 00:12 – ESA, Hood Canal & how salmon stocks get managed 00:18 – Getting involved: joining the advisory group 00:24 – What VTRs are and why they matter 00:29 – The 30-second habit that protects your season 00:31 – Inside the Puget Sound Sport Fishing Advisory Group 00:38 – How the North of Falcon process actually works 00:41 – The real bottleneck: timing 00:44 – Gabe's epic fishing story with his sonKey Takeaways:WA sport fishing drives $3 billion, 17,000 jobs, and $275M in tax revenue—and rarely gets credit for it.Telling the fish checker "I caught nothing" feels clever but sabotages next year's season.Filling out a VTR honestly takes 30 seconds and genuinely helps the department manage seasons.The advisory group carries no formal weight, but the relationships built there move the needle.The biggest problem with season-setting isn't the science—it's the compressed last-minute timing.Getting involved beats complaining online every single time.Resources & Links:WDFW Fishing Regulations: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulationsNorth of Falcon process info: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/management/north-falconPacific Fishery Management Council: https://www.pcouncil.orgVTR Form https://str.wdfw-fish.us/home FREE Salmon Training: https://anglersunlimited.co/3-essential-luresJoin the Gold waitlist: https://anglersunlimited.co/goldWant the full structured learning experience?

Episode Summary In today's episode, Anna and Avery cover six major space and astronomy stories: the growing implications of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket explosion for NASA's lunar plans; China's surprise maiden flight of the Long March 12B reusable rocket plus the return of the Shenzhou-21 crew; Starship V3 being grounded by the FAA following Flight 12 — with SpaceX's IPO in the balance; the upcoming launch of NASA's Roman Space Telescope and its mission to find 100,000 new exoplanets; new research suggesting Earth remained a global magma ocean for up to half a billion years; and a stunning new Hubble image of galaxy M88 on a perilous journey through the Virgo Cluster.   Story 1 — New Glenn Aftermath: NASA Moon Plans Under Threat Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket was destroyed on May 28 during a pre-launch static fire test at Launch Complex 36, Cape Canaveral. As of June 2, the damage to Blue Origin's lunar programme is becoming clear: the Blue Moon Mark 1 lander — scheduled to deliver Moon Base 1 hardware in autumn 2026 — now faces likely delays, and the crewed Blue Moon MK2 timeline may slip as a result. LC-36 is Blue Origin's only orbital pad; rebuilding will take considerable time. NASA had signed a new New Glenn launch agreement for Moon rovers just two days before the explosion. Sources: Space.com, Time Magazine, TechTimes (June 1–2, 2026)   Story 2 — China's Long March 12B Debut + Shenzhou-21 Returns China's new Long March 12B rocket completed its maiden flight on June 1 from Jiuquan, deploying Qianfan constellation satellites in a no-advance-notice launch. The rocket — China's answer to the Falcon 9 — features a 20-tonne LEO capacity, a 5.2m fairing, kerolox propulsion, and dual independent flight computers ('dual brains'). No booster recovery on this flight, but planned for future missions. Developed in just 21 months. In other Chinese space news: the Shenzhou-21 crew (Zhang Lu, Wu Fei, Zhang Hongzhang) returned safely on May 29 after a record 210-day stay aboard Tiangong, landing in a Shenzhou-22 emergency rescue capsule after their original return craft was damaged by a suspected space debris strike. Sources: SpaceNews, Global Times, Xinhua (June 1, 2026)   Story 3 — Starship V3 Grounded: FAA Mishap Investigation Following Flight 12 (May 22), the FAA has formally classified the Starship V3 debut as a mishap and grounded the vehicle. The Super Heavy booster failed its boostback burn and hard-splashed in the Gulf of America; one Raptor Vacuum engine on the upper stage also failed. SpaceX must complete an FAA-overseen investigation before Flight 13. This is Starship's seventh grounding in three years. A July–August return-to-flight window is cited; a booster catch may be skipped on Flight 13. SpaceX's IPO (ticker: SPCX, Nasdaq) was filed May 20 with shares potentially trading from ~June 12. Sources: SpaceNews, Aviation Week, TechCrunch (May 27–June 1, 2026)   Story 4 — NASA Roman Space Telescope: 100,000 New Worlds NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is on track to arrive at Kennedy Space Center in June, with a launch target of early September 2026 — ahead of its May 2027 commitment. Over its five-year primary mission, Roman is expected to discover ~100,000 exoplanets, hundreds of millions of galaxies, and billions of stars, generating a 20,000-terabyte data archive. Its Galactic Bulge Survey will observe ~100 million stars in underexplored Milky Way regions. Roman also features a Coronagraph Instrument to directly image nearby exoplanets and test techniques for future Earth-analogue imaging. Sources: NASA.gov, ScienceDaily, SciTechDaily (June 1–2, 2026)   Story 5 — Earth Was a Lava World for Half a Billion Years A preprint from researchers at the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute (arXiv, June 2026) proposes that Earth's global magma ocean phase lasted up to 500 million years — far longer than previously assumed. Two key factors sustained the molten state: tidal heating from the newly formed, much-closer Moon; and a thick steam atmosphere that acted as a thermal blanket, slowing planetary cooling. The prolonged hot conditions would also have favoured the photochemical production of hydrogen cyanide — a key prebiotic molecule linked to the origin of RNA and amino acids. Sources: Universe Today, Phys.org (June 1, 2026) — preprint on arXiv   Story 6 — Hubble Images M88 on a Perilous Virgo Cluster Journey NASA/ESA Hubble's June 2026 Picture of the Month features Messier 88 (M88/NGC 4501), a spiral galaxy 63 million light-years away in Coma Berenices. M88 is on a long inward journey through the Virgo Cluster, with a supermassive black hole ~100 million solar masses at its core. Ram pressure stripping is already depleting its cold gas reserves, visible as compressed gas on the galaxy's leading edge. In ~200–300 million years, M88 will make its closest pass to M87. Observed as part of Hubble program #18103 (PI: D. Thilker).

  ABOUT AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR The Avengers and their allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR April 27, 2018 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Directors: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo Writers: Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Stan Lee Cast: Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man Chris Hemsworth as Thor Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther Zoe Saldaña as Gamora Karen Gillan as Nebula Tom Hiddleston as Loki Paul Bettany as Vision Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS So, they get right to it. Bad boy Thanos gets an infinity stone, the Power Stone. His play is to get all six Infinity Stones and wipe out half of all life in the universe.  His first stop is the ship carrying the surviving people of Asgard. Thanos easily overwhelms the remaining Asgardians, beats up Hulk, and steals the Space Stone from Loki's Tesseract. He then kills Loki. Thanos then destroys the ship and continues his hunt. Edris Elba helps make sure that Hulk returns to earth, where he crashes through the New York Sanctum. Back as Bruce, He warns Doctor Stephen Strange and Wong that Thanos is coming.  Tony Stark joins the conversation. Before he can call Steve Rogers to get the band back together, they attack the city to claim the Time Stone from Strange. Spider-Man is pulled into the chaos, and after they captures Strange aboard his spaceship, Stark and Peter Parker secretly hitch a ride into space to rescue him while Wong remains behind to defend the Sanctum. Meanwhile, the Guardians of the Galaxy answer a distress signal and save Thor floating in space. They agree they need to work together to stop Thanos. But they're too late. Thanos already possesses the Reality Stone and uses its power to manipulate everything around them. He captures Gamora after learning she knows the location of the Soul Stone. Desperate to save her adopted sister Nebula from torture, Gamora tells him where the stone is .  When they get there, the keeper of the Soul Stone, one Red Skull, reveals the price required to obtain it: the sacrifice of someone truly loved. In one of the film's most tragic moments, Thanos throws Gamora to her death, earning the Soul Stone. Vision and Wanda are ambushed in Scotland by Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive, who attempt to rip the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead. Captain America, Black Widow, and Falcon arrive just in time to save them, bringing the wounded Vision back to the Avengers Compound. Vision urges Wanda to destroy the Mind Stone and kill him if necessary to stop Thanos, but she cannot bring herself to do it. Instead, the team heads to Wakanda, believing Shuri may be able to safely remove the stone without sacrificing Vision's life. Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange end up on Titan and come face to face with Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis and they realize they're in the same team.  Using the Time Stone, Strange studies millions of possible futures and discovers only one path where they succeed. Together they execute an elaborate plan to restrain Thanos and remove the Infinity Gauntlet. For a moment, it almost works—until Nebula reveals that Gamora is dead. Overcome with grief and rage, Star-Lord attacks Thanos, ruining the team's hold on him. Thanos breaks free, defeats everyone, and nearly kills Iron Man. To save Tony's life, Doctor Strange willingly surrenders the Time Stone, despite knowing how dangerous it is. In Wakanda, the Avengers prepare for an all-out invasion from Thanos's army. Bruce Banner, unable to transform into Hulk, enters battle wearing the Hulkbuster armor. The tide finally turns when Thor arrives in spectacular fashion alongside Rocket and Groot, tearing through Thanos's army with his fresh new hammer/ax combo, Stormbreaker. Despite their efforts, Thanos himself eventually reaches Vision. Wanda heartbreakingly destroys the Mind Stone—and Vision with it—just before Thanos can claim it. But using the Time Stone, Thanos reverses time, restores Vision briefly to life, and violently tears the stone from his forehead, killing him again. With all six Infinity Stones finally united, the Infinity Gauntlet is complete. Thor attacks and buries Stormbreaker deep into Thanos's chest, but Thanos coldly tells him he “should have gone for the head.” He snaps his fingers and vanishes. Across the universe, half of all life immediately turns to dust. Bucky Barnes, Black Panther, Groot, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis all fade away. On Earth, Nick Fury manages to send a desperate signal from a mysterious pager moments before he too disappears. The survivors are left shattered and defeated. Tony Stark and Nebula are stranded on Titan. The remaining Avengers stand in stunned silence in Wakanda. And somewhere far away, Thanos sits alone on a quiet planet, watching the sunrise over a universe he believes he has finally “saved.” Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

The Space Show Presents Open Lines Discussion Today, Sunday, 5-3-26Quick Summary:This meeting focused on open discussion topics in space exploration and national security. Bob shared speculation about a potential SpaceX acquisition of 200+ square miles of land in Louisiana for data centers and manufacturing facilities, though this remained unconfirmed. The group extensively discussed the Artemis 3 mission delay, with participants debating the challenges of SLS rocket assembly versus SpaceX's Starship development approach. Ajay raised significant concerns about Russia's nuclear-powered missile program, specifically the Burevestnik missile tested in October 2025, which he described as difficult to detect and potentially dangerous. The conversation also touched on nuclear power applications for data centers and military bases, with Dr. Ajay mentioning new small modular reactor companies emerging in the market. The discussion concluded with debate about defense strategies against such nuclear capabilities and the current state of hypersonic weapons development.Detailed Summary:Bob discussed a speculative story about SpaceX potentially acquiring a 200-square-mile piece of land in Louisiana, which could be used for data centers, satellite manufacturing, and Starship production. He noted that this would allow SpaceX to shift operations away from California. The conversation concluded with a mention of Artemis 3's delay and a brief reference to Robert's recent article about the potential Louisiana land acquisition.David announced that Robert would be scheduled for a show on May 26th at 6 PM, and discussed upcoming shows including Dr. Eligar Sadeh returning on Tuesday to discuss Astropolitics journal reviewing opportunities. The group briefly discussed unconfirmed news about Elon Musk's salary and potential Mars colonization plans, though Bob repeated that much of this information was speculative. David also mentioned upcoming shows including an ISDC episode with Rod Pyle and Aggi Kobrin on May 12th.Bob shared unconfirmed rumors that SpaceX may be acquiring approximately 136,000 acres of coastal Louisiana marshland near Pecan Island for potential data centers and manufacturing facilities. The discussion explored the strategic benefits of this location, including proximity to intercoastal waterways, power infrastructure, and natural gas facilities, though participants noted concerns about launch debris dispersion and local community impact. The group acknowledged this was speculative information pending official confirmation from SpaceX.The group discussed the delay of the Artemis III mission, with Bob explaining that both Blue Origin and SpaceX requested additional time to prepare their landers for an Earth-orbiting test mission. Robert noted that this delay would impact the scheduling of subsequent Artemis missions in 2028, as SLS rockets can only be assembled one at a time using a single mobile launcher. The discussion compared SLS and Starship assembly processes, with Joe highlighting how SLS involves numerous complex steps due to its design requirements, while Starship's assembly is more streamlined. Bob concluded that Jared Isaacman's goal is to demonstrate SLS's limitations over the next two years, potentially paving the way for Starship and New Glenn rockets to replace SLS in the future.The group discussed the competitive dynamics between SLS and Starship programs, with different perspectives on NASA's intentions. Phil and Joe had a different view, suggesting NASA believed SLS could beat Starship if it increased production rates faster. The discussion also covered technical aspects of Starship's design, with Ajay raising concerns about the high dry weight requiring multiple refueling trips to the moon, while Marshall and others highlighted the importance of SpaceX's new launch facilities in enabling frequent launches.The group discussed different approaches to refueling a lunar mission depot, with Ajay presenting a plan involving expendable tankers while Phil and Bob described a reusable tanker concept aligned with SpaceX's philosophy. Ajay cited NASA and Aerospace Corporation analyses suggesting 10-16 refueling launches would be needed with expendable tankers, though the group noted these estimates were based on V2 configurations rather than the more efficient V3. Bob defended SpaceX's approach, emphasizing the company's focus on reusability and rapid launch capabilities, while acknowledging that current payload limitations might require temporary use of expendable vehicles if development timelines don't meet requirements by mid-2027.The group discussed SpaceX's Starship program and its potential, with Ajay cautioning against extrapolating success from Falcon 9 to other projects. David interrupted the Starship-focused discussion to broaden the conversation, particularly wanting Ajay to share insights about a new Russian nuclear-powered missile system that can fly at low altitudes and evade detection. Ajay explained that this missile system, demonstrated on October 21, poses a significant threat as it cannot be detected by current defense systems and could potentially remain airborne for extended periods. When asked about countermeasures, Ajay indicated he had provided suggestions to defense departments but could not share details in the open forum.Ajay discussed his work on hypersonic and nuclear power applications, highlighting his experience since 1990 and recent developments in nuclear power plants. He mentioned new companies like ILO Atomics and Astra working on 10-megawatt power plants for data centers, which could be factory-built within a year. Ajay also shared his conversations with senators about the Burevestnik missile and his meeting with Jared at Mar-a-Lago, where he inquired about the Falcon Heavy idea. Marshall raised concerns about the time required for permits for nuclear power plants, to which Ajay responded that recent executive orders have reduced the timeline to 3-6 months.The discussion focused on nuclear power applications, particularly small modular reactors and micro-reactors. Ajay explained his work on a 25-megawatt thermal power plant design and discussed the military's micro-reactor program, noting that molten salt reactors would be more suitable than pressurized water reactors for energy applications. The conversation also addressed hypersonic missile technology, with Ajay clarifying that current U.S. hypersonic programs use rocket-boosted systems with limited range, distinguishable from the nuclear-powered hypersonic missiles discussed in the context of Russian weapons. John Hunt suggested that developing such nuclear-powered systems might not be a priority for the U.S. given existing deterrent capabilities and potential public opposition.The group discussed Russia's nuclear-powered missile development, specifically the Burevestnik missile tested on October 21, 2025, which flew for 15 hours at subsonic speeds and demonstrated capabilities to evade missile defenses. Ajay emphasized the danger of these nuclear-capable missiles, noting their ability to approach from any direction and their challenging detection due to flying at low altitudes. cautioned that Russia's technical competence with high-tech projects should be viewed with skepticism, though acknowledged the need to address these developments. The discussion concluded with Dr. Ajay expressing skepticism about fusion energy timelines and advocating for Generation 4 nuclear reactors, particularly molten salt reactors using thorium or uranium-233.The group discussed thorium reactors and fusion technology. Ajay explained that China copied thorium reactor technology from Oak Ridge National Lab in the 1960s, but development was halted due to lack of plutonium production, despite its potential for clean energy. The discussion covered fusion for space applications, with Ajay expressing skepticism about the feasibility of Pulsar Fusion's proposed system due to the high energy requirements and weight constraints for space travel. The conversation also touched on the challenges of space-based data centers, with participants questioning the practicality of using space for cooling purposes given existing technical limitations.The group discussed space-based data centers and energy transmission methods. Joe explained that Overview Energy, backed by Meta, is exploring using infrared lasers to transmit energy from space to ground-based solar farms. Bob highlighted that while space data centers may not be economically viable, they could drive significant launch demand and benefit the aerospace industry. The discussion also touched on the massive capital expenditure plans of major tech companies, with Joe noting that approximately $750 billion in capital expenses could potentially include space-based data center projects, creating new opportunities for rocket companies.The group discussed the challenges of cooling data centers in space, with Ajay explaining that radiating heat into space requires large radiators due to the lack of convection and conduction in vacuum. Joe noted that operating chips at higher temperatures could reduce the size of radiators, but this would negatively impact performance. The discussion also covered nuclear propulsion options for space travel, with Ajay expressing skepticism about the feasibility of implementing nuclear electric propulsion for the planned Mars mission within the proposed timeline. The group agreed that nuclear thermal propulsion, while more efficient, would require significant development time and testing.

I love kobold adventures because they always lie to you. They start with the same sales pitch every time. Oh, it's kobolds. Funny little lizard guys. Maybe some traps. Couple slings. Tiny crown. Cute little dungeon crawl. And then six sessions later you're dealing with ancient dwarven grudges, undead labor theology, emotional damage, cursed relics, fantasy Vecna, and one kobold who should have died three times but keeps showing up because sheer pettiness has apparently made him immortal. Kobolds are never the adventure. Kobolds are what the adventure uses to lure you into the basement. Show Notes This week we did a full postmortem on Crown of the Kobold King and dug into one of Pathfinder's earliest adventures revisited for Second Edition. What starts as a straightforward kobold dungeon crawl quickly turns into a surprisingly layered story full of ancient dwarven vaults, undead corruption, cursed relics, and one increasingly unfortunate kobold king. We broke down the setting of Darkmoon Vale and Falcon's Hollow, the lumber town run by a spectacularly terrible administrator, before diving into the dungeon itself and the history behind Droskar's Crucible. The adventure piles old Torag worshippers, fallen dwarven cultists, Tar-Baphon lore, and necromantic experiments on top of each other until the kobolds become almost incidental to the chaos. The campaign also delivered some incredible table moments. A near total party kill was saved by remembering a forgotten +1 bonus at the last possible second. Sir Thanah evolved from heal bot NPC into one of the emotional anchors of the campaign. Cap Mech somehow transformed from random kobold encounter into recurring rival, revenant menace, and eventual ally. Meanwhile Kirby continued solving problems the traditional way by casting Brick. We also spent time talking encounter design, what worked, what absolutely did not, and why some dungeon sections deserved immediate deletion. Looking at you, anti gravity hallway. By the end, the adventure became less about stopping the Kobold King and more about the people trapped inside the dungeon's history and deciding who deserved saving. Key Takeaways Crown of the Kobold King works well as an introductory Pathfinder 2 adventure and offers more narrative depth than its classic dungeon crawl structure initially suggests. Darkmoon Vale embraces classic fantasy adventure design with starting town, wilderness, and dungeon exploration. The dungeon layers multiple factions together including kobolds, fallen dwarf cultists, undead servants, and Tar-Baphon corruption. Small Pathfinder bonuses matter. A forgotten +1 attack bonus completely prevented a TPK. Sir Thanah evolved from support NPC into one of the campaign's strongest emotional story threads. Cap Mech became an accidental standout character through repeated appearances and escalating rivalry. The adventure benefits from adding consequences and time pressure rather than treating events as static. Some encounters are excellent while others feel dated and benefit from modification or removal. Commanders continue proving they are extremely effective force multipliers. Brick remains a valid tactical solution. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast. If you love Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and tabletop RPGs, this is the podcast for you.

This is not a mainstream conversation. In this exclusive and deeply investigative episode, Paul Richard Price, author of Tyrus, shares information and connections that are rarely discussed publicly — touching on a growing pattern that raises serious questions about scientists, advanced technology, and what may be happening behind closed doors. At the center of the discussion is a troubling trend: Highly specialized individuals working on advanced propulsion, energy, and space-related technologies — suddenly gone, silenced, or surrounded by unanswered circumstances. Paul brings forward insights tied to Falcon Space, APEC, and emerging technologies that could fundamentally change the world as we know it. According to this perspective, the issue isn't just innovation — it's control over that innovation. This episode explores: Why certain scientists and researchers may be at risk The quiet competition over breakthrough technologies The possibility of classified or restricted advancements far beyond public awareness The connections between real-world events and the narrative presented in Tyrus Why some information may never reach the mainstream What makes this conversation different is the framing:
