PREVIEW — John Hardie — The Evolution of Drone Warfare in the Ukraine Conflict. Hardie analyzes the expanding, evolving role of unmanned systems in the Ukraine war. Early intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) drones, including the Turkish TB2, became progressively less effective as Russia improved integrated air defense capabilities. Subsequently, FPV (first-person view) combat drones became operationally critical, supplementing larger bomber-category unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)—often adapted agricultural equipment—deployed by both combatants, particularly Ukraine, to deliver precision munitions against distributed targets. 1953

En este episodio te compartimos algunas de las ideas más reveladoras presentadas en el 4.º Congreso de Compliance para Empresas, a partir de la ponencia magistral de la Mtra. Guadalupe Hinojosa, especialista en Derecho Fiscal y Concursal.

Evliyânın büyüklerinden Mansûr el-Betâhî (r.âleyh) Hazretleri'nin vefatı yaklaşınca hanımı: “Efendi! Oğluna vasiyet et, onu yerine vekîl bırak” dedi. Mürşîd-i kâmil olan Şeyh Mansûr el-Betâhî (r.âleyh) Hazretleri: “Hayır, kız kardeşimin oğlu Ahmed Rufâî'yi yerime vekil bırakacağım” dedi. Hanımı çok ısrâr etti, ağladı. “Oğlumuz varken sen başkalarını, yerine “şeyh” tayin ediyorsun. Bizden sonra çocuklarımızın kıymeti kalmaz” gibisinden çok söylendi. O büyük zat, hanımını susturmak için, oğlu ile talebesi Ahmed Rufâî'yi yanına çağırdı. “Gidin bana biraz çiçek toplayın getirin” dedi. Gittiler. Oğlu, demet demet çiçekler getirdi. Her biri değişik renkteydi. İnsanın içini açıyordu. Hoş kokular saçıyordu. Ahmed Rufâî ise eli boş döndü. Boynunu büktü. Mahçûp bir edâ ile hocasının yanına geldi. Hocası: “Neden çiçek toplamadın” diye sordu. Üzüntülü bir şekilde cevap verdi: “Efendim! Elimi uzattığım her çiçek, Allâhü Teâlâ'yı tesbîh ediyordu, koparmaya kıyamadım.” Hanımı; bu hâli görünce şeyhliğin babadan oğula miras yolu ile geçen bir makam, mevki, saltanat ve mal olmadığını anladı. Sesini çıkarmadı. Isrârından vazgeçti.Ahmed Rufaî (r.âleyh) Hazretleri buyurdu: “Tarîkat, şeyhlik ve evliyâ olma derecesi, dede ve babadan kimseye miras kalmaz. Çalışmakla olur. İbâdetle olur. Gözyaşları dökmekle olur. Müslümânları sevmekle olur.” İmâm Râbbânî (k.s.) Hazretleri sahte şeyhler için şöyle buyurdu: “Ermeyen bir şeyhin çevresinde bulunmak, onunla sohbet etmek ve ona bağlanmak, zehirli bir kılıç ile yaralanmaktan daha beterdir. Zehirli kılıç, insanın maddî hayatını alır; sahte şeyhler, insanın mânevî hayatını öldürür.” Bunlara, yâni miras yoluyla şeyhlik makâmına oturanlara uymak uygun değildir. Bunlara uymak ve onlara mürid ve talebe olmak câiz değildir.(Misvâk Neşriyat, Hakk Dinin Batıl Yorumlarına Cevaplar, s.223)

Interview with Rupert Verco, Managing Director & CEO, Cobra ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cobra-resources-lsecobr-high-grade-copper-gold-acquisition-ree-isr-7824Recording date: 19th November 2025Cobra Resources is positioning itself as a potential disruptor in the global rare earths market through its innovative Boland project in South Australia. The London-listed company is developing an in-situ recovery (ISR) operation targeting high-value heavy rare earths including dysprosium and terbium - critical components in permanent magnets for electric vehicles, renewable energy, and defense applications.What distinguishes Boland from conventional rare earth projects is its unique geological setting. Unlike traditional clay-hosted deposits, the project features permeable paleochannel geology similar to uranium ISR operations, which Managing Director Rupert Verco says "bypasses a lot of the operational challenges of traditional clays." The mineralization sits within naturally confined sand horizons, protected by 20 meters of impermeable clay above and below.Recent field hydrology studies have validated commercial viability, achieving pump rates of nearly 20,000 liters per day with 60% tracer recovery in just four days. These results support well spacing of 20-30 meters - comparable to uranium operations - and demonstrate the uniform aquifer response essential for efficient ISR extraction.The project's most significant breakthrough involves natural acid generation from sulfide-rich organics within the ore body. When oxidized, these materials produce sulfuric acid in-situ, potentially eliminating the largest operating cost and reducing dependence on Chinese supply chains. Current testing indicates acid consumption under 4 kilograms per ton—dramatically lower than typical rare earth operations.Metallurgically, Cobra has achieved 90% cerium suppression without heavy rare earth loss, producing concentrate containing 35% magnet rare earths and 50% heavy rare earths. This compares favorably to traditional carbonatite deposits that typically contain over 50% low-value cerium.With 3,300+ square kilometers of controlled tenure, resource drilling planned for early 2026, and a modular development approach targeting 4,000-5,000 tons annual production, Cobra is advancing toward what Verco describes as cost competitiveness comparable to "how Kazatomprom established themselves in the uranium game"—potentially offering Western supply chains a commercially viable alternative to Chinese rare earth dominance.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cobra-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

El aguinaldo es una de las prestaciones laborales más esperadas, pero todavía hay algunas dudas alrededor de este, como su historia y si paga impuestos. En este episodio, te decimos qué es VERDAD y qué es un MITO sobre: El concepto del aguinaldo no surgió como un beneficio laboral, sino como un símbolo de generosidad y buenos deseos. El aguinaldo tiene su origen en Francia, a inicios de los años 1800.  Los celtas llamaban “eguinad” a un obsequio de Año Nuevo en el que intercambiaban dátiles y frutos secos para mostrar satisfacción, gratitud y buenos deseos hacia familiares y amigos. El aguinaldo es una prestación laboral obligatoria en México desde inicios del siglo pasado. El pago debe realizarse cada año, en la fecha que la empresa considere mejor. El impuesto al aguinaldo se cobra desde 1981, por lo que los trabajadores llevan más de 40 años pagando ISR sobre esta prestación. Los aguinaldos están exentos de impuestos hasta 10,000 pesos. Si tu aguinaldo es menor o igual a ese límite, no se descuentan impuestos y recibes el pago completo.   Lee más sobre este tema en Expansión.

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers,China's spacefaring ambitions pose tough competition for America. With a focused, centralized program, Beijing seems likely to land taikonauts on the moon before another American flag is planted. Meanwhile, NASA faces budget cuts, leadership gaps, and technical setbacks. In his new book, journalist Christian Davenport chronicles the fierce rivalry between American firms, mainly SpaceX and Blue Origin. It's a contest that, despite the challenges, promises to propel humanity to the moon, Mars, and maybe beyond.Davenport is an author and a reporter for the Washington Post, where he covers NASA and the space industry. His new book, Rocket Dreams: Musk, Bezos, and the Inside Story of the New, Trillion-Dollar Space Race, is out now.In This Episode* Check-in on NASA (1:28)* Losing the Space Race (5:49)* A fatal flaw (9:31)* State of play (13:33)* The long-term vision (18:37)* The pace of progress (22:50)* Friendly competition (24:53)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. Check-in on NASA (1:28)The Chinese tend to do what they say they're going to do on the timeline that they say they're going to do it. That said, they haven't gone to the moon . . . It's really hard.Pethokoukis: As someone — and I'm speaking about myself — who wants to get America back to the moon as soon as possible, get cooking on getting humans to Mars for the first time, what should I make of what's happening at NASA right now?They don't have a lander. I'm not sure the rocket itself is ready to go all the way, we'll find out some more fairly soon with Artemis II. We have flux with leadership, maybe it's going to not be an independent-like agency anymore, it's going to join the Department of Transportation.It all seems a little chaotic. I'm a little worried. Should I be?Davenport: Yes, I think you should be. And I think a lot of the American public isn't paying attention and they're going to see the Artemis II mission, which you mentioned, and that's that mission to send a crew of astronauts around the moon. It won't land on the moon, but it'll go around, and I think if that goes well, NASA's going to take a victory leap. But as you correctly point out, that is a far cry from getting astronauts back on the lunar surface.The lander isn't ready. SpaceX, as acting NASA administrator Sean Duffy just said, is far behind, reversing himself from like a month earlier when he said no, they appear to be on track, but everybody knew that they were well behind because they've had 11 test flights, and they still haven't made it to orbit with their Starship rocket.The rocket itself that's going to launch them into the vicinity of the moon, the SLS, launches about once every two years. It's incredibly expensive, it's not reusable, and there are problems within the agency itself. There are deep cuts to it. A lot of expertise is taking early retirements. It doesn't have a full-time leader. It hasn't had a full-time leader since Trump won the election. At the same time, they're sort of beating the drum saying we're going to beat the Chinese back to the lunar surface, but I think a lot of people are increasingly looking at that with some serious concern and doubt.For what it's worth, when I looked at the betting markets, it gave the Chinese a two-to-one edge. It said that it was about a 65 percent chance they were going to get there first. Does that sound about right to you?I'm not much of a betting man, but I do think there's a very good chance. The Chinese tend to do what they say they're going to do on the timeline that they say they're going to do it. That said, they haven't gone to the moon, they haven't done this. It's really hard. They're much more secretive, if they have setbacks and delays, we don't necessarily know about them. But they've shown over the last 10, 20 years how capable they are. They have a space station in low earth orbit. They've operated a rover on Mars. They've gone to the far side of the moon twice, which nobody has done, and brought back a sample return. They've shown the ability to keep people alive in space for extended periods of times on the space station.The moon seems within their capabilities and they're saying they're going to do it by 2030, and they don't have the nettlesome problem of democracy where you've got one party come in and changing the budget, changing the direction for NASA, changing leadership. They've just set the moon — and, by the way, the south pole of the moon, which is where we want to go as well — as the destination and have been beating a path toward that for several years now.Is there anyone for merging NASA into the Department of Transportation? Is there a hidden reservoir? Is that an idea people have been talking about now that's suddenly emerged to the surface?It's not something that I particularly heard. The FAA is going to regulate the launches, and they coordinate with the airspace and make sure that the air traffic goes around it, but I think NASA has a particular expertise. Rocket science is rocket science — it's really difficult. This isn't for the faint of heart.I think a lot of people look at human space flight and it's romanticized. It's romanticized in books and movies and in popular culture, but the fact of the matter is it's really, really hard, it's really dangerous, every time a human being gets on one of those rockets, there's a chance of an explosion, of something really, really bad happening, because a million things have to go right in order for them to have a successful flight. The FAA does a wonderful job managing — or, depending on your point of view, some people don't think they do such a great job, but I think space is a whole different realm, for sure.Losing the Space Race (5:49). . . the American flags that the Apollo astronauts planted, they're basically no longer there anymore. . . There are, however, two Chinese flags on the moonHave you thought about what it will look like the day after, in this country, if China gets to the moon first and we have not returned there yet?Actually, that's a scenario I kind of paint out. I've got this new book called Rocket Dreams and we talk about the geopolitical tensions in there. Not to give too much of a spoiler, but NASA has said that the first person to return to the moon, for the US, is going to be a woman. And there's a lot of people thinking, who could that be? It could be Jessica Meir, who is a mother and posted a picture of herself pregnant and saying, “This is what an astronaut looks like.” But it could very well be someone like Wang Yaping, who's also a mother, and she came back from one of her stays on the International Space Station and had a message for her daughter that said, “I come back bringing all the stars for you.” So I think that I could see China doing it and sending a woman, and that moment where that would be a huge coup for them, and that would obviously be symbolic.But when you're talking about space as a tool of soft power and diplomacy, I think it would attract a lot of other nations to their side who are sort of waiting on the sidelines or who frankly aren't on the sidelines, who have signed on to go to the United States, but are going to say, “Well, they're there and you're not, so that's who we're going to go with.”I think about the wonderful alt-history show For All Mankind, which begins with the Soviets beating the US to the moon, and instead of Neil Armstrong giving the “one small step for man,” basically the Russian cosmonaut gives, “Its one small step for Marxism-Leninism,” and it was a bummer. And I really imagine that day, if China beats us, it is going to be not just, “Oh, I guess now we have to share the moon with someone else,” but it's going to cause some national soul searching.And there are clues to this, and actually I detail these two anecdotes in the book, that all of the flags, the American flags that the Apollo astronauts planted, they're basically no longer there anymore. We know from Buzz Aldrin‘s memoir that the flag that he and Neil Armstrong planted in the lunar soil in 1969, Buzz said that he saw it get knocked over by the thrust in the exhaust of the module lifting off from the lunar surface. Even if that hadn't happened, just the radiation environment would've bleached the flag white, as scientists believe it has to all the other flags that are on there. So there are essentially really no trace of the Apollo flags.There are, however, two Chinese flags on the moon, and the first one, which was planted a couple of years ago, or unveiled a couple of years ago, was made not of cloth, but their scientists and engineers spent a year building a composite material flag designed specifically to withstand the harsh environment of the moon. When they went back last summer for their farside sample return mission, they built a flag, — and this is pretty amazing — out of basalt, like volcanic rock, which you find on Earth. And they use basalt from earth, but of course basalt is common on the moon. They were able to take the rock, turn it into lava, extract threads from the lava and weave this flag, which is now near the south pole of the moon. The significance of that is they are showing that they can use the resources of the moon, the basalt, to build flags. It's called ISR: in situ resource utilization. So to me, nothing symbolizes their intentions more than that.A fatal flaw (9:31). . . I tend to think if it's a NASA launch . . . and there's an explosion . . . I still think there are going to be investigations, congressional reports, I do think things would slow down dramatically.In the book, you really suggest a new sort of golden age of space. We have multiple countries launching. We seem to have reusable rockets here in the United States. A lot of plans to go to the moon. How sustainable is this economically? And I also wonder what happens if we have another fatal accident in this country? Is there so much to be gained — whether it's economically, or national security, or national pride in space — that this return to space by humanity will just go forward almost no matter what?I think so. I think you've seen a dramatic reduction in the cost of launch. SpaceX and the Falcon 9, the reusable rocket, has dropped launches down. It used to be if you got 10, 12 orbital rocket launches in a year, that was a good year. SpaceX is launching about every 48 hours now. It's unprecedented what they've done. You're seeing a lot of new players — Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, others — driving down the cost of launch.That said, the main anchor tenant customer, the force driving all of this is still the government, it's still NASA, it's still the Pentagon. There is not a self-sustaining space economy that exists in addition or above and beyond the government. You're starting to see bits of that, but really it's the government that's driving it.When you talk about the movie For All Mankind, you sort of wonder if at one point, what happened in that movie is there was a huge investment into NASA by the government, and you're seeing that to some extent today, not so much with NASA, but actually on the national security side and the creation of the Space Force and the increases, just recently, in the Space Force's budget. I mean, my gosh, if you have $25 billion for this year alone for Golden Dome, the Missile Defense Shield, that's the equivalent of NASA's entire budget. That's the sort of funding that helps build those capabilities going forward.And if we should, God forbid, have a fatal accident, you think we'll just say that's the cost of human exploration and forward we go?I think a lot about this, and the answer is, I don't know. When we had Challenger and we had Columbia, the world stopped, and the Space Shuttle was grounded for months if not a year at a time, and the world just came to an end. And you wonder now if it's becoming more routine and what happens? Do we just sort of carry on in that way?It's not a perfect analogy, but when you talk about commercial astronauts, these rich people are paying a lot of money to go, and if there's an accident there, what would happen? I think about that, and you think about Mount Everest. The people climbing Mount Everest today, those mountain tourists are literally stepping over dead bodies as they're going up to the summit, and nobody's shutting down Mount Everest, they're just saying, well, if you want to climb Mount Everest, that's the risk you take. I do wonder if we're going to get that to that point in space flight, but I tend to think if it's a NASA launch, and it's NASA astronauts, and there's an explosion, and there's a very bad day, I still think there are going to be investigations, congressional reports, I do think things would slow down dramatically.The thing is, if it's SpaceX, they have had accidents. They've had multiple accidents — not with people, thank goodness — and they have been grounded.It is part of the model.It's part of the model, and they have shown how they can find out what went wrong, fix it, and return to flight, and they know their rocket so well because they fly it so frequently. They know it that well, and NASA, despite what you think about Elon, NASA really, really trusts SpaceX and they get along really well.State of play (13:33)[Blue Origin is] way behind for myriad reasons. They sat out while SpaceX is launching the Falcon 9 every couple of days . . . Blue Origin, meanwhile, has flown its New Glenn rocket one time.I was under the impression that Blue Origin was way behind SpaceX. Are they catching up?This is one of the themes of the book. They are way behind for myriad reasons. They sat out while SpaceX is launching the Falcon 9 every couple of days, they're pushing ahead with Starship, their next generation rocket would be fully reusable, twice the thrust and power of the Saturn V rocket that flew the Apollo astronauts to the Moon. Blue Origin, meanwhile, has flown its New Glenn rocket one time. They might be launching again soon within the coming weeks or months, hopefully by the end of the year, but that's two. They are so far behind, but you do hear Jeff Bezos being much more tuned into the company. He has a new CEO — a newish CEO — plucked from the ranks of Amazon, Dave Limp, and you do sort of see them charging, and now that the acting NASA administrator has sort of opened up the competition to go to the moon, I don't know that Blue Origin beats SpaceX to do it, but it gives them some incentive to move fast, which I think they really need.I know it's only a guess and it's only speculation, but when we return to the moon, which company will have built that lander?At this point, you have to put your money on SpaceX just because they're further along in their development. They've flown humans before. They know how to keep people alive in space. In their Dragon capsule, they have the rendezvous and proximity operations, they know how to dock. That's it.Blue Origin has their uncrewed lander, the Mark 1 version that they hope to land on the moon next year, so it's entirely possible that Blue Origin actually lands a spacecraft on the lunar surface before SpaceX, and that would be a big deal. I don't know that they're able to return humans there, however, before SpaceX.Do you think there's any regrets by Jeff Bezos about how Blue Origin has gone about its business here? Because obviously it really seems like it's a very different approach, and maybe the Blue Origin approach, if we look back 10 years, will seem to have been the better approach, but given where we are now and what you just described, would you guess that he's deeply disappointed with the kind of progress they made via SpaceX?Yeah, and he's been frustrated. Actually, the opening scene of the book is Jeff being upset that SpaceX is so far ahead and having pursued a partnership with NASA to fly cargo and supply to the International Space Station and then to fly astronauts to the International Space Station, and Blue Origin essentially sat out those competitions. And he turns to his team — this was early on in 2016 — and said, “From here on out, we go after everything that SpaceX goes after, we're going to compete with them. We're going to try to keep up.” And that's where they went, and sort of went all in early in the first Trump administration when it was clear that they wanted to go back to the moon, to position Blue Origin to say, “We can help you go back to the moon.”But yes, I think there's enormous frustration there. And I know, if not regret on Jeff's part, but certainly among some of his senior leadership, because I've talked to them about it.What is the war for talent between those two companies? Because if you're a hotshot engineer out of MIT, I'd guess you'd probably want to go to SpaceX. What is that talent war like, if you have any idea?It's fascinating. Just think a generation ago, you're a hot MIT engineer coming out of grad school, chances are you're going to go to NASA or one of the primes, right? Lockheed, or Boeing, or Air Jet, something like that. Now you've got SpaceX and Blue Origin, but you've got all kinds of other options too: Stoke Space, Rocket Lab, you've got Axiom, you've got companies building commercial space stations, commercial companies building space suits, commercial companies building rovers for the moon, a company called Astro Lab.I think what you hear is people want to go to SpaceX because they're doing things: they're flying rockets, they're flying people, you're actually accomplishing something. That said, the culture's rough, and you're working all the time, and the burnout rate is high. Blue Origin more has a tradition of people getting frustrated that yeah, the work-life balance is better — although I hear that's changing, actually, that it's driving much, much harder — but it's like, when are we launching? What are we doing here?And so the fascinating thing is actually, I call it SpaceX and Blue Origin University, where so many of the engineers go out and either do their own things or go to work for other companies doing things because they've had that experience in the commercial sector.The long-term vision (18:37)That's the interesting thing, that while they compete . . . at a base level, Elon and Jeff and SpaceX and Blue Origin want to accomplish the same things and have a lot in common . . .At a talk recently, Bezos was talking about space stations in orbit and there being like a million people in space in 20 years doing economically valuable things of some sort. How seriously should I take that kind of prediction?Well, I think a million people in 20 years is not feasible, but I think that's ultimately what is his goal. His goal is, as he says, he founded Amazon, the infrastructure was there: the phone companies had laid down the cables for the internet, the post office was there to deliver the books, there was an invention called the credit card, he could take people's money. That infrastructure for space isn't there, and he wants to sort of help with Elon and SpaceX. That's their goal.That's the interesting thing, that while they compete, while they poke each other on Twitter and kind of have this rivalry, at a base level, Elon and Jeff and SpaceX and Blue Origin want to accomplish the same things and have a lot in common, and that's lower the cost of access to space and make it more accessible so that you can build this economy on top of it and have more people living in space. That's Elon's dream, and the reason he founded SpaceX is to build a city on Mars, right? Something's going to happen to Earth at some point we should have a backup plan.Jeff's goal from the beginning was to say, you don't really want to inhabit another planet or celestial body. You're better off in these giant space stations envisioned by a Princeton physics professor named Gerard O'Neill, who Jeff Bezos read his book The High Frontier and became an acolyte of Gerard O'Neill from when he was a kid, and that's sort of his vision, that you don't have to go to a planet, you can just be on a Star Trekkian sort of spacecraft in orbit around the earth, and then earth is preserved as this national park. If you want to return to Earth, you can, but you get all the resources from space. In 500 years is that feasible? Yeah, probably, but that's not going to be in our lives, or our kids' lives, or our grandkids' lives.For that vision — anything like that vision — to happen, it seems to me that the economics needs to be there, and the economics just can't be national security and national prestige. We need to be doing things in space, in orbit, on the moon that have economic value on their own. Do we know what that would look like, or is it like you've got to build the infrastructure first and then let the entrepreneurs do their thing and see what happens?I would say the answer is “yes,” meaning it's both. And Jeff even says it, that some of the things that will be built, we do not know. When you had the creation of the internet, no one was envisioning Snapchat or TikTok. Those applications come later. But we do know that there are resources in space. We know there's a plentiful helium three, for example, on the surface of the moon, which it could be vital for, say, quantum computing, and there's not a lot of it on earth, and that could be incredibly valuable. We know that asteroids have precious metals in large quantities. So if you can reduce the cost of accessing them and getting there, then I think you could open up some of those economies. If you just talk about solar rays in space, you don't have day and night, you don't have cloud cover, you don't have an atmosphere, you're just pure sunlight. If you could harness that energy and bring it back to earth, that could be valuable.The problem is the cost of entry is so high and it's so difficult to get there, but if you have a vehicle like Starship that does what Elon envisions and it launches multiple times a day like an airline, all you're really doing is paying for the fuel to launch it, and it goes up and comes right back down, it can carry enormous amounts of mass, you can begin to get a glimmer of how this potentially could work years from now.The pace of progress (22:50)People talk about US-China, but clearly Russia has been a long-time player. India, now, has made extraordinary advancements. Of course, Europe, Japan, and all those countries are going to want to have a foothold in space . . .How would you characterize the progress now than when you wrote your first book?So much has happened that the first book, The Space Barons was published in 2018, and I thought, yeah, there'll be enough material here for another one in maybe 10 years or so, and here we are, what, seven years later, and the book is already out because commercial companies are now flying people. You've got a growth of the space ecosystem beyond just the Space Barons, beyond just the billionaires.You've got multiple players in the rocket launch market, and really, I think a lot of what's driving it isn't just the rivalries between the commercial companies in the United States, but the geopolitical space race between the United States and China, too that's really driving a lot of this, and the technological change that we've seen has moved very fast. Again, how fast SpaceX is launching, Blue Origin coming online, new launch vehicles, potentially new commercial space stations, and a broadening of the space ecosystem, it's moving fast. Does that mean it's perfect? No, companies start, they fail, they have setbacks, they go out of business, but hey, that's capitalism.Ten years from now, how many space stations are going to be in orbit around the earth?I think we'll have at least one or two commercial space stations for the United States, I think China. Is it possible you've got the US space stations, does that satisfy the demand? People talk about US-China, but clearly Russia has been a long-time player. India, now, has made extraordinary advancements. Of course, Europe, Japan, and all those countries are going to want to have a foothold in space for their scientists, for their engineers, for their pharmaceutical companies that want to do research in a zero-G environment. I think it's possible that there are, within 10 years, three, maybe even four space stations. Yeah, I think that's possible.Friendly competition (24:53)I honestly believe [Elon] . . . wants Blue to be better than they are.Do you think Musk thinks a lot about Blue Origin, or do you think he thinks, “I'm so far ahead, we're just competing against our own goals”?I've talked to him about this. He wishes they were better. He wishes they were further along. He said to me years ago, “Jeff needs to focus on Blue Origin.” This is back when Jeff was still CEO of Amazon, saying he should focus more on Blue Origin. And he said that one of the reasons why he was goading him and needling him as he has over the years was an attempt to kind of shame him and to get him to focus on Blue, because as he said, for Blue to be successful, he really needs to be dialed in on it.So earlier this year, when New Glenn, Blue Origin's big rocket, made it to orbit, that was a moment where Elon came forward and was like, respect. That is hard to do, to build a rocket to go to orbit, have a successful flight, and there was sort of a public high five in the moment, and now I think he thinks, keep going. I honestly believe he wants Blue to be better than they are.There's a lot of Elon Musk skeptics out there. They view him either as the guy who makes too big a prediction about Tesla and self-driving cars, or he's a troll on Twitter, but when it comes to space and wanting humanity to have a self-sustaining place somewhere else — on Mars — is he for real?Yeah, I do believe that's the goal. That's why he founded SpaceX in the first place, to do that. But the bottom line is, that's really expensive. When you talk about how do you do that, what are the economic ways to do it, I think the way he's funding that is obviously through Starlink and the Starlink system. But I do believe he wants humanity to get to Mars.The problem with this now is that there hasn't been enough competition. Blue Origin hasn't given SpaceX competition. We saw all the problems that Boeing has had with their program, and so much of the national space enterprise is now in his hands. And if you remember when he had that fight and the breakup with Donald Trump, Elon, in a moment of peak, threatened to take away the Dragon spacecraft, which is the only way NASA can fly its astronauts anywhere to space, to the International Space Station. I think that was reckless and dangerous and that he regretted it, but yes, the goal to get to Mars is real, and whatever you think about Elon — and he certainly courts a controversy — SpaceX is really, really good at what they do, and what they've done is really unprecedented from an American industrial perspective.My earliest and clearest memory of America and space was the landing on Mars. I remember seeing the first pictures probably on CBS news, I think it was Dan Rather saying, “Here are the first pictures of the Martian landscape,” 1976, and if you would've asked me as a child then, I would've been like, “Yeah, so we're going to be walking on Mars,” but I was definitely hooked and I've been interested in space, but are you a space guy? How'd you end up on this beat, which I think is a fantastic beat? You've written two books about it. How did this happen?I did not grow up a space nerd, so I was born in 1973 —Christian, I said “space guy.” I didn't say “space nerd,” but yeah, that is exactly right.My first memory of space is actually the Challenger shuttle exploding. That was my memory. As a journalist, I was covering the military. I'd been embedded in Iraq, and my first book was an Iraq War book about the national guard's role in Iraq, and was covering the military. And then this guy, this was 10 years ago, 12 years ago, at this point, Elon holds a press conference at the National Press Club where SpaceX was suing the Pentagon for the right to compete for national security launch contracts, and he starts off the press conference not talking about the lawsuit, but talking about the attempts. This was early days of trying to land the Falcon 9 rocket and reuse it, and I didn't know what he was talking about. And I was like, what? And then I did some research and I was like, “He's trying to land and reuse the rockets? What?” Nobody was really covering it, so I started spending more time, and then it's the old adage, right? Follow the money. And if the richest guys in the world — Bezos Blue Origin, at the time, Richard Branson, Paul Allen had a space company — if they're investing large amounts of their own personal fortune into that, maybe we should be paying attention, and look at where we are now.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were Promised Faster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.

Dès le lancement de son « opération militaire spéciale » (SVO) contre l'Ukraine, le 24 février 2022, le Kremlin, qui dispose de l'un des plus vastes arsenaux nucléaires au monde, a adopté des mesures de dissuasion agressives et une rhétorique résolument menaçante. Décryptage d'un possible emploi de l'arme nucléaire par Moscou, avec Dimitri Minic, chercheur à l'Institut français des Relations internationales, l'Ifri.  RFI : Dès les premiers jours de la guerre, Moscou adopte une rhétorique nucléaire agressive. Quelle est sa stratégie ? Dimitri Minic : Le 24 février 2022, sa stratégie, c'est de prendre Kiev en quelques heures et au pire quelques jours, et de soumettre politiquement l'Ukraine. Quand Vladimir Poutine fait son discours sur l'opération militaire spéciale le 24 février, qui annonce son déclenchement, il fait une allusion à un emploi possible de l'arme nucléaire, face à ceux qui voudraient s'impliquer directement dans ce conflit pour aider l'Ukraine. Ce qui, au fond, a permis à la Russie d'éviter effectivement une escalade de la guerre locale en guerre régionale, impliquant d'autres pays, d'autres puissances, mais qui n'a pas suffi non seulement à dissuader effectivement l'Ukraine de résister, mais surtout qui n'a pas permis d'éviter le début d'un flux d'aide militaire à l'Ukraine. Et par ailleurs, ces menaces nucléaires russes n'ont pas permis d'empêcher l'instauration de sanctions économiques très importantes de l'Occident contre la Russie. Donc, c'est un succès relatif de la stratégie nucléaire russe, mais qui, en réalité, ne permet pas à la Russie d'isoler l'Ukraine de l'Occident, ce qui était son principal objectif. Mais il y a quand même une véritable inquiétude qui plane en Occident, puisque le nucléaire tactique fait partie de l'arsenal russe. Le nucléaire a été étendu à la guerre conventionnelle, en quelque sorte ? Oui, absolument. En fait, à la chute de l'Union soviétique, les élites militaires russes héritent d'une doctrine de non-emploi en premier. Et progressivement, elles se rendent compte que la théorie de la dissuasion et ses mécanismes étaient peu développés par rapport à ce qui existait en Occident. Dans les années 90, vous avez une grande période d'élaboration conceptuelle, de théorisation qui conduit l'armée russe, au plan théorique et doctrinal, à effectivement étendre la dissuasion nucléaire aux guerres conventionnelles de toute ampleur, locales, régionales et à grande échelle. Il y a un emploi possible de l'arme nucléaire, un emploi démonstratif, limité, censé mettre fin aux combats dans des conditions favorables à la Russie. On aurait pu se dire, puisque l'opération militaire spéciale est un échec pour la Russie, il est possible que ces concepts soient appliqués. Mais en réalité, cette doctrine exigerait des conditions qui ne sont pas du tout réunies dans la guerre en Ukraine. Pour que Moscou prenne des mesures de dissuasion nucléaire très claires, il faudrait par exemple un transfert des têtes nucléaires depuis les entrepôts centraux vers les unités, vers les bases. Un transfert démonstratif médiatisé qui montrerait que la Russie commence à penser sérieusement à employer l'arme nucléaire ou un essai nucléaire réel, ou d'autres types de mesures qui montreraient qu'elle a vraiment la volonté de le faire. Mais il faudrait qu'elle se trouve dans des conditions extrêmement graves. Il faudrait qu'elle soit en passe de perdre de manière irrémédiable face à un ennemi conventionnel, aidé par des États d'ailleurs dotés de l'arme nucléaire, qui non seulement aient envie de conquérir des territoires russes ou bien aient envie de changer le régime russe. À lire aussiRussie: Vladimir Poutine annonce une révision de la doctrine nucléaire et menace les Occidentaux On le voit au début de la guerre, les Américains vont sonder les Russes afin de savoir dans quelles conditions ils pourraient utiliser l'arme nucléaire. Absolument. Et à l'époque, Valeri Guerassimov répond qu'il y a trois conditions : l'utilisation d'armes de destruction massive contre la Russie, une volonté, une tentative de changer le régime, une déstabilisation profonde du régime provoqué par un État étranger. Et la troisième condition serait des pertes catastrophiques sur le champ de bataille. Et c'est intéressant parce que, à l'époque, à l'automne 2022, la Russie subit des pertes et surtout des revers militaires importants en Ukraine, dans le Donbass. Valeri Guerassimov, à ce moment-là, en évoquant ces trois conditions, abuse de son interlocuteur parce qu'il est évident que la Russie aurait pu compenser ses pertes assez rapidement et qu'elle a de telles réserves matérielles et humaines qu'il est très peu probable qu'elle recourt au nucléaire dans ce type de conditions loin d'être inacceptable ou en tout cas catastrophique pour elle. Vous identifiez trois failles théoriques et pratiques révélées par cette guerre en Ukraine de la doctrine nucléaire russe. Et l'une d'elles, c'est la limite de la dissuasion stratégique conventionnelle, avec les fameux missiles Kalibr,  Kinjal, dont l'usage n'a pas produit l'effet escompté… Non, non, ça n'a pas fonctionné. Effectivement, la Russie débute la guerre en Ukraine avec une conception de la dissuasion qui est une conception très agressive, offensive, mais surtout inter-domaines. C'est à dire que la Russie ne conçoit pas la dissuasion comme quelque chose d'exclusivement nucléaire. La dissuasion russe concerne à la fois les domaines non militaires et subversifs, le domaine conventionnel, donc les forces conventionnelles et les armes conventionnelles et les forces nucléaires. Donc, la Russie n'a pas une vision exclusivement défensive de la dissuasion. Car, pour le dire rapidement, la Russie ne conçoit sa sécurité qu'à travers l'insécurité de ses voisins. Donc, cette situation stratégique échoue effectivement à trois niveaux. C'est d'abord l'échec du concept de contournement, pour permettre à l'État russe de gagner une guerre avant la guerre. En fait, il n'était pas question de déclencher une guerre à grande échelle, de longue durée et très meurtrière, mais plutôt de soumettre l'ennemi sans combat, ou en tout cas sans combat de grande ampleur. C'est aussi un échec des moyens et des méthodes psychologiques ou informationnelles, comme disent les Russes, puisqu'ils pensaient les Ukrainiens et les élites ukrainiennes complètement soumises, rendues apathiques par la Russie et ses manœuvres. Ça n'a pas été le cas. Ils pensaient que les Occidentaux avaient été anesthésiés par cette pratique psychologique ou informationnelle, qui vise non seulement à modifier la psyché des individus et des sociétés, mais en fait à transformer les individus et la société. Et donc surtout, ce que j'observe dans cette étude, c'est que la phase conventionnelle, a subi un échec important. Pourquoi : parce que les élites militaires russes et les élites politiques russes ont surestimé pendant 35 ans l'efficacité de ces moyens conventionnels. Parmi ces moyens conventionnels, effectivement, on a d'abord les forces générales, les exercices, les déploiements de forces aux frontières. Bon, ça n'a pas produit l'effet désiré. Ça n'a pas forcé l'Ukraine à capituler. Mais surtout, les armes modernes duales, donc, qui peuvent être à la fois équipées soit d'une tête nucléaire, soit d'une tête conventionnelle. Ces armes, le Kinjal, le Kalibr, l'Iskander, ont été utilisées sur le champ de bataille. On se rappelle le Kinjal, une arme hypersonique utilisée à un moment qui était censé être décisif pour la Russie, puisque c'était le moment des premières négociations entre l'Ukraine et la Russie en mars 2022, au moment où les Ukrainiens sont très réticents à accepter un accord très favorable à la Russie. Et la Russie emploie dans l'intervalle, au moment de ces discussions ultimes, le Kinjal sur le champ de bataille. C'était sa première utilisation opérationnelle, puis un deuxième deux jours plus tard, avant de se retirer du nord et de l'est de l'Ukraine. L'utilisation de ces missiles conventionnels confirmait en fait des vulnérabilités qui étaient identifiées par les militaires russes depuis les années 90 ! Il faut bien comprendre que la défense antimissile présente en Ukraine, d'origine occidentale notamment, a été efficace et a plutôt montré la surestimation que les élites militaires, russes et politiques russes avaient de l'efficacité de l'emploi de ces missiles contre des cibles stratégiques comme des bases aériennes, etc. Non seulement en termes d'ampleur, de nombre indispensable pour détruire une cible stratégique, mais en plus la vulnérabilité des vecteurs. On voit bien que la Russie a fait face à un ISR, c'est à dire un renseignement occidental qui a été puissant et efficace. Cette double vulnérabilité, à la fois la difficulté à détruire des cibles stratégiques avec ces missiles modernes et en même temps la difficulté à protéger leur plateforme de lancement, ça tend à remettre en question, même partiellement, cette stratégie de frappes nucléaires limitées dont je parlais tout à l'heure, avec un missile unique. Donc, on voit bien que d'un point de vue technique, c'est un affaiblissement. Et les excès rhétoriques de Dmitri Medvedev (vice-président du Conseil de Sécurité de Russie au discours violemment anti-occidental, ndlr), de Ramzan Kadyrov (président de la République de Tchétchénie, un proche de Vladimir Poutine, ndlr) également, ont abîmé la dissuasion nucléaire russe ? À force de crier au loup et à menacer d'hiver nucléaire, l'Occident, ça ne prend plus ? Absolument. Parce que la Russie, dès qu'elle entre dans le conflit, produit une rhétorique nucléaire extrêmement agressive, mais dans les faits, les mesures qu'elle prend concrètement pour accompagner cette rhétorique nucléaire sont très modérées. Donc, vous avez un décalage très fort entre ce que la Russie dit, et ce que la Russie fait vraiment. Ça n'est pas une nouveauté en Russie. Sur quoi s'appuie cette pratique, ce décalage ? Il est dû à une culture stratégique, c'est à dire que la Russie considère que l'Occident est faible, lâche et déliquescent et qu'il est sensible aux menaces, qu'il a peur du nucléaire et qu'il cédera en réalité. Ils estiment qu'une frappe nucléaire unique, démonstrative, limitée sur le théâtre, obligera, forcera finalement les Occidentaux à rentrer chez eux et à demander pardon. Ils ne sont pas vraiment revenus de ça. Effectivement, ce décalage au bout d'un moment pose un problème. Vous ne pouvez pas hurler dans tous les médias que vous avez au moins dix lignes rouges et ne rien faire. Des officiers supérieurs généraux de l'armée russe ont expliqué en 2023/2024, ils ont eu un mot que je trouve très drôle, « Les lignes rouges russes ont rougi de honte », ajoutant « Les Occidentaux nous ont devancés de 8 à 10 pas dans l'escalade et nous, on les regarde ». Dans l'armée russe, il y a une forme d'incompréhension de l'attitude de la Russie. C'est à dire qu'ils sont tous d'accord pour maintenir cette rhétorique agressive, mais ils veulent qu'elle soit accompagnée de mesures pratiques, concrètes. Donc ce décalage a affaibli la crédibilité de la dissuasion nucléaire russe et ça a conduit les Occidentaux à poursuivre leur aide à l'Ukraine et même à l'intensifier. Aujourd'hui, la dissuasion nucléaire russe commence à s'adapter en entreprenant des actions beaucoup plus concrètes. On a évidemment la décision de transférer des armes nucléaires tactiques en Biélorussie. On a beaucoup d'autres actions de ce type. Il y a aussi la publication de la nouvelle doctrine nucléaire russe en novembre 2024, qui est une mesure de dissuasion en réalité. Il faut bien le comprendre, ça aussi. RFI : Et quel est le nouveau message adressé à l'Ouest, à l'Europe et à l'OTAN ? C'est de faire des démonstrations de force sérieuses. Un général russe important propose de rejouer le scénario cubain (crise des missiles de Cuba 1962, ndlr). Donc il y a une volonté de faire une démonstration claire de la force militaire nucléaire. Et à chaque fois qu'une ligne rouge est franchie, d'avoir une réponse nucléaire ou conventionnelle. Les militaires russes pensent aussi que les réponses conventionnelles doivent être beaucoup plus violentes, beaucoup plus fortes. Et cette dissuasion conventionnelle, en fait, ils en ont fait la démonstration avec le tir de missiles balistiques à portée intermédiaire. Ce tir d'Orechnik (Le 9M729-Orechnik, littéralement « noisetier », est un missile balistique russe à portée intermédiaire, ndlr) fait suite à la publication de la nouvelle doctrine nucléaire, qui elle-même s'inscrit dans ce que la Russie perçoit en 2024 comme une logique d'escalade continue. C'est aussi une réponse au discours d'Emmanuel Macron sur de possibles troupes au sol en Ukraine. Et n'oubliez pas, le plus important, en 2024 commence la levée de toutes les interdictions de l'administration Biden sur l'utilisation par l'Ukraine d'armes de fabrication américaine, non seulement à la frontière russe, mais en fait progressivement sur tout le territoire russe. Puis une autre séquence s'ouvre puisque Donald Trump arrive au pouvoir. À lire aussiRoyaume-Uni: les bonnes intentions envers l'Ukraine lors de la «coalition des volontaires» RFI : Qu'est-ce que change l'arrivée de Donald Trump pour la dissuasion nucléaire russe ? On a l'impression d'avoir changé de monde parce qu'avec l'ancienne administration, vous aviez une escalade très maîtrisée à laquelle la Russie a eu beaucoup de mal à répondre parce que tout est venu de façon séquencée. Envisager l'utilisation de l'arme nucléaire en cas de menace à l'existence même de l'État russe, ça devenait complètement obsolète pour ses officiers supérieurs et généraux. Parce que cette doctrine nous montre aussi que la Russie a peur que ses tentatives d'agression contre ses voisins suscitent l'aide de pays dotés d'armes nucléaires. En fait, elle a peur que le scénario ukrainien se reproduise. Et donc cette nouvelle doctrine est censée couvrir ces scénarios aussi. Elle élargit les conditions d'emploi et elle abaisse le seuil déclaré d'emploi de l'arme nucléaire. RFI : L'élection de Donald Trump a-t-elle permis de faire baisser la tension ? Plus tôt. Ça très clairement, c'est à dire que Trump et son indifférence relative à l'Ukraine et à l'Europe y participe, la collusion idéologique qui existe entre la Russie et les États-Unis aujourd'hui, le peu d'intérêt qu'il a pour l'OTAN et l'Europe orientale le permette. Ce qui ne veut pas dire que la rhétorique agressive de la Russie s'arrête. Au contraire, on voit bien que la rhétorique nucléaire agressive de la Russie se déclenche dès que le président américain envisage sérieusement, en tout cas rhétoriquement, de fournir des armes offensives et à longue portée à l'Ukraine. Ce qui s'éloigne, c'est la perspective d'un emploi. Il était déjà très faible depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine. Avec l'élection de Donald Trump, il est encore plus faible. Donc autant dire, très peu probable. En revanche, les ambiguïtés de Washington, les hésitations de l'Europe à l'égard de la défense du continent, à l'égard de la défense de l'Ukraine, alimentent l'agressivité de la Russie. Et donc ça augmente la probabilité d'actions déstabilisatrices conventionnelles russes. À lire aussiLa pérennisation de l'aide à l'Ukraine au menu d'un nouveau sommet européen à Bruxelles

Are the most important breakthroughs in physics deliberately hidden? In this deep, unfiltered conversation, Prof. Simon returns to explore how advanced physics may have been locked away since WWII — from zero-point energy and plasma stealth to the classified “black world” of defense research. We revisit legendary test pilot Dan Isbell's extraordinary UAP encounters and the physics they suggest, and we ask: Has mainstream science been steered off course for decades? Topics we explore: – Why WWII and the Manhattan Project may have shifted physics into secrecy – Test pilot insights on exotic craft, plasma sheathing, and zero-point energy – The quantum vacuum vs. the old “ether” — and why the words changed – Suppressed experiments from Faraday to Tesla to Chris Chiba today – Passive radar, Gorgon Stare, and citizen-built detection networks – The real split between mundane UAPs and the 5% that defy known physics – Consciousness, remote viewing, and the idea of a connected universe This is a rigorous but open-minded discussion for anyone serious about UAPs, advanced propulsion, and the future of physics.

Interview with David Cates, President & CEO of Denison MinesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/denison-mines-tsxdml-first-in-situ-uranium-mine-in-canada-on-track-for-2028-production-6825Recording date: 4th September 2025Denison Mines Corporation (TSX:DML) represents a compelling uranium investment opportunity positioned at the intersection of accelerating nuclear demand and persistent supply constraints. The company stands out as one of the few developers with clear visibility to near-term production through its advanced Wheeler River Phoenix project in Saskatchewan's prolific Athabasca Basin.Phoenix has reached critical development milestones with regulatory panel hearings scheduled for October-December 2025 and expected decisions within 90 days. The project benefits from 75% completed engineering, ongoing procurement since 2023, and in-situ recovery (ISR) technology that reduces operational complexity compared to conventional mining. First production is targeted for mid-2028, representing a 20-year development timeline from discovery that CEO David Cates characterizes as exceptional persistence through market downturns.The company's recent $345 million convertible bond offering demonstrates sophisticated financial engineering that addresses traditional mining sector dilution concerns. The instrument features cap-call protection limiting dilution to 4% even with 200% share price appreciation, effectively functioning like traditional debt until shares exceed $4.32. This structure provides construction funding while preserving upside for existing shareholders and offers significant cost savings compared to conventional project financing.Denison enters production during what appears to be the most favorable uranium market dynamics in over a decade. Microsoft's decision to join the World Nuclear Association signals broader corporate recognition of nuclear power's role in supporting data centers and AI infrastructure. Simultaneously, established producers including Kazatomprom and Cameco struggle with production guidance, creating supply shortages precisely as demand accelerates. Utilities actively seek Western uranium supply sources to diversify away from concentrated suppliers.Unlike pure development companies, Denison generates immediate cash flow through its 22.5% interest in McLean North mine production and maintains 2 million pounds of physical uranium inventory. This diversified revenue profile provides operational flexibility and reduces dependence on equity financing during construction. The company's commercial strategy emphasizes contract diversification rather than betting entirely on spot prices or long-term agreements.Phoenix represents the foundation for broader growth initiatives. The Wheeler River property includes the Griffin deposit positioned for development using Phoenix cash flows. The company maintains annual exploration spending of C$10-15 million while pursuing strategic partnerships and potential acquisitions enabled by future cash generation. This approach creates organic growth opportunities without additional equity dilution.Denison's investment appeal centers on execution certainty, financial flexibility, and market timing. The combination of approaching regulatory approval, advanced engineering completion, innovative financing structure, and favorable uranium fundamentals creates multiple value drivers. The company's positioning as a new large-scale Western uranium producer entering a supply-constrained market during accelerating demand provides both near-term catalysts and long-term growth potential.With regulatory clarity approaching and construction readiness achieved, Denison appears well-positioned to capitalize on uranium market dynamics that many industry participants view as the most favorable in decades.View Denison Mines' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/denison-mines-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Thomas Lamb, CEO of Myriad Uranium Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/myriad-uranium-csem-60-boost-to-potential-100-mlbs-wyoming-project-7466Recording date: 4th September 2025Myriad Uranium (CSE:M) represents a compelling investment opportunity in the rapidly evolving uranium sector, where technological advancement and market dynamics have created significant value creation potential. The company's flagship Copper Mountain project in Wyoming has undergone a transformative resource upgrade through modern measurement techniques, with CEO Thomas Lamb reporting that advanced gamma probe technology and laboratory assaying have delivered 50-60% grade improvements over historical estimates established in the 1970s.The technological advantage stems from replacing outdated Delayed Fission Neutron probes with modern gamma probe technology, revealing substantially higher uranium concentrations than previously recognized. Laboratory assays have confirmed these improvements, with grades above 1,000 ppm showing 60% boosts and those above 500 ppm demonstrating 50% increases. This upgrade positions the project's resource estimate significantly above the historical 15-30 million pound baseline, with expansion potential to 65 million pounds through surrounding prospects and ultimate potential of 200 million pounds according to US Department of Energy assessments.Market dynamics have shifted decisively in Myriad's favor as operational challenges at high-profile ISR projects have created investor skepticism toward in-situ recovery methods. Fund managers are now explicitly seeking conventional mining projects, with Lamb noting that sentiment has transformed from questioning conventional approaches to actively pursuing them. This preference shift provides Myriad with a significant competitive advantage, as the Copper Mountain project's geology supports conventional mining in the northern section while maintaining ISR optionality in the southern portion.The company's strategic consolidation through its planned merger with Rush Rare Metals will eliminate joint venture complexity while adding complementary assets. Currently holding an option to earn 75% of Copper Mountain, the merger will provide 100% ownership while incorporating Rush's high-grade Boxy project in Quebec, which contains 11% uranium and up to 27% niobium grades. This transaction exemplifies the "1 plus 1 equals three" value creation potential in the current uranium market.Myriad's Red Basin project in New Mexico has emerged as an unexpected value creator following the state's emergence as a nuclear technology hub. Acquired for just $525,000 Canadian, the project now attracts significant attention from major technology companies including Microsoft and Amazon Web Services, which are pursuing uranium supply partnerships to support data center and AI computing infrastructure. The convergence of Los Alamos National Laboratory expertise, state-level funding initiatives, and private technology investment is creating a unique development ecosystem.With $2.5 million in cash, Myriad maintains sufficient capital for immediate strategic objectives through a capital-efficient validation strategy. The company plans to conduct approximately eight targeted infill holes in Copper Mountain's central pit area to establish grade upgrades definitively before expanding to peripheral prospects. This methodology provides maximum leverage from limited drilling while building investor confidence in broader resource potential.The company's positioning as a US-focused uranium producer with assets in Wyoming and New Mexico aligns with domestic supply chain security objectives, positioning for potential strategic partnerships or acquisition scenarios. Management's plan to migrate toward US exchange listings could unlock significant valuation multiples while providing enhanced liquidity for investors seeking exposure to the uranium sector recovery.View Myriad Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/myriad-uraniumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Rupert Verco, CEO & Managing Director of Cobra Resources PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cobra-resources-lsecobr-unveiling-new-ionic-rare-earth-mineral-discoveries-at-boland-prospect-3851Recording date: 27th August 2025Cobra Resources PLC (LSE:COBR) is positioning itself at the forefront of the critical minerals supply chain through its innovative dual-asset strategy targeting both heavy rare earth elements and copper. The South Australian-focused explorer has secured two complementary projects that address key supply security concerns in the global energy transition.The company's flagship Boland project represents a potentially transformative approach to rare earth extraction, targeting dysprosium and terbium through proprietary in-situ recovery (ISR) technology. Managing Director Robert Verco explains the breakthrough: "We are planning on defining a bottom quartile cost source of dysprosium and terbium through a mining process called in-situ recovery. We have fantastic metallurgy - we're getting high recoveries at a pH of five which is the equivalent of a black coffee."This innovative approach has already demonstrated exceptional results at bench scale, producing mixed rare earth carbonate containing 63% total rare earth oxides with minimal acid consumption. The company's unique ionic mineralization enables ISR processing typically associated with uranium extraction, offering significant environmental and economic advantages over conventional rare earth mining methods.Complementing its rare earth strategy, Cobra recently secured an option over the Manilla copper project, featuring historic high-grade intersections of 48 meters at 2.2% copper and 78g/t gold from just 8 meters depth. The porphyry-style system offers potential to extend existing 1.6km mineralization by over five times, with geological characteristics analogous to Australia's most profitable mine, Cadia.The company's strategic positioning addresses growing institutional demand for supply diversification from Chinese-dominated markets. With China controlling 90% of global heavy rare earth supply, Western governments and corporations are actively seeking alternative sources. Cobra's ISR technology for rare earths and near-surface copper-gold mineralization in Australia's stable regulatory environment provides exactly this opportunity.Financial strength underpins the company's development strategy, with recent gold asset divestment generating up to AUD $15 million in non-dilutive funding. This positions Cobra to advance both projects simultaneously while maintaining disciplined capital allocation through structured option agreements that reward discovery success.View Cobra Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cobra-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with William M. Sheriff, MSc – Founder & Executive Chairman, enCore EnergyOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/encore-energy-tsxveu-us-uranium-leader-doubles-production-to-3700-lbsday-in-q2-turnaround-7356Recording date: 4th September 2025enCore Energy has emerged as a standout performer in the uranium sector, delivering remarkable operational improvements that increased daily uranium production by 200-300% while securing significant institutional investment. The company's transformation represents a compelling case study in operational excellence during a period of global uranium supply constraints.Following a strategic leadership overhaul in early 2025, enCore replaced key executives including the CEO and COO, implementing urgent operational improvements that dramatically enhanced production efficiency. The results have been striking: well completion times dropped from seven days to just 1.3 days, while the company expanded its drilling operations from 12-14 rigs to 29, with plans to reach 32 by October 2025.This operational discipline reflects both the rapid recovery characteristics of South Texas uranium deposits and the company's newfound focus on execution. As one of America's only two operational in-situ recovery (ISR) plants, enCore's ability to scale production quickly provides significant competitive advantages in an increasingly supply-constrained market.The company's operational success attracted unprecedented institutional interest, culminating in a $115 million convertible note offering at a 5.5% coupon rate—terms rarely seen in the uranium sector. Unlike typical convertible structures dominated by hedge funds, approximately 45% of this financing came from long-term oriented institutional investors, including funds managing $10-30 billion in assets.This institutional validation extends beyond immediate capital needs, introducing enCore to an entirely new class of generalist investors and creating relationships that could support future strategic initiatives.enCore recently completed acquisition of the Tacubaya project, immediately adjacent to its flagship Alta Mesa operation, adding significant uranium resources while providing critical geological continuity. The company has also enhanced its data analysis capabilities, identifying new productive trends within existing assets by examining thousands of drill holes on a more granular basis.The development pipeline includes a South Dakota project with Fast-41 federal designation, providing timeline certainty for permitting while leveraging enCore's established regulatory track record. The company has identified approximately 20 advanced exploration projects across the US for potential acquisition, positioning itself as a consolidation catalyst in the fragmented uranium sector.With uranium demand surging globally and few new producers successfully reaching commercial production, enCore's combination of proven operations, expanding resource base, and institutional backing creates sustainable competitive advantages in an industry where execution capabilities increasingly differentiate winners from development-stage competitors.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/encore-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Bruce Lane, Executive Director & CEO of American UraniumOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/us-uranium-sector-gains-under-pro-nuclear-push-7164Recording date: 3rd September 2025American Uranium Limited (ASX:AMU), formerly GTI Energy Ltd, has strategically repositioned itself to capitalize on America's uranium supply crisis through its flagship Lo Herma project in Wyoming. The company's recent rebranding reflects a clear focus on developing in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium assets, with CEO Bruce Lane emphasizing the need for clarity in the company's mission amid growing industry momentum.The Lo Herma project serves as the foundation of American Uranium's development strategy, containing 8.57 million pounds of uranium resources with 32% classified as indicated resources. Located within Wyoming's proven uranium-producing geology, the project benefits from established infrastructure and decades of regional operational experience. The company has completed comprehensive technical work including mine unit location, central processing plant evaluation, and metallurgical testing, positioning the asset for potential commercial development.A strategic partnership with Snow Lake Resources through a 9.9% investment provides American Uranium with capital and board representation while maintaining operational independence. The partnership creates natural synergies, as Snow Lake maintains adjacent properties where geology extends into American Uranium's holdings, offering potential for future collaboration and enhanced scale.The company's growth strategy focuses on expanding the Lo Herma resource beyond 10 million pounds through systematic exploration, recognizing that scale drives investment attractiveness. This approach leverages proven geological understanding while addressing commercial realities in capital markets.Market fundamentals strongly support American Uranium's timing, with US domestic production remaining below one million pounds annually while demand surges from AI data centers, electrification initiatives, and nuclear plant restarts. Established ISR producers are still ramping operations after extended shutdowns, creating supply constraints just as electricity demand accelerates.Industry consolidation opportunities present additional value catalysts, as established producers like UR Energy and Encore Energy seek additional resources to fulfill long-term contracts. Such partnerships could validate American Uranium's technical approach while providing operational expertise.The investment thesis centers on strategic positioning within proven geology, clear supply-demand fundamentals, and multiple value catalysts including resource expansion and potential industry consolidation, positioning American Uranium at the forefront of America's uranium supply revival.View American Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/gti-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the question media pundits keep asking: what is happening to the democrat party? What happened is that the people have learned a great deal about the Democrat Party and its ideologies over the years and they don't like it. Ideas do have consequences. Educating and reading remain crucial. Unfortunately, too many people with microphones and TV cameras have forgotten about this. Scholarship, history, philosophy still matter. They have always mattered. It's called getting back to basics. Getting back to our founding principles, beliefs, and values, and exposing those who seek to pervert, undermine, and destroy them. The Democrat Party is struggling and failing because it stands for virtually everything most Americans reject. Also, the American people elected President Trump in a massive landslide, saving the country from four more years of destructive policies like open borders, anti-military degradation, and campus marches chanting "from the river to the sea." We should not be complacent in the midterms. Also, the U.S. has offered to provide intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), command and control, and air defense assets to support a European-led security plan for postwar Ukraine, including participation in an air shield and no-fly zone enforcement. This includes US aircraft, logistics, and radar to enable European troop deployments, while monitoring ceasefires via superior satellite capabilities. This is necessary. Later, Democrats support violent criminals, while Trump is quickly controlling crime in Washington, D.C., by enforcing the law with police backed by the National Guard. Finally, by 2040 Islam could surpass Judaism as the nation's second-largest religion. America's Christian foundations—rooted in individual liberty, personal responsibility, and devotion to God—are eroding due to silence and fear. Learn more about your ad choices.

John Clark is Senior Vice President of Technology and Strategic Innovation at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, the legendary advanced development program behind the U-2, SR-71, F-117, and F-35. Over his 27-year career, including 25 inside Skunk Works, he has led some of the most important innovations in aerospace and defense. Chris Moran is Vice President and General Manager of Lockheed Martin Ventures, the corporate venture arm investing in breakthrough startups across AI, autonomy, advanced manufacturing, power, and propulsion to bring critical technologies into Lockheed's programs. In this episode of Defense Tech Underground, we sit down with John and Chris to explore how a century-old prime contractor sustains a culture of innovation while working alongside a new generation of defense tech startups. We cover: Skunk Works culture and the 14 rules – why they still matter today, and how Clark applied them in leading programs from the F-22 to modern autonomy efforts. Innovation with purpose – Lockheed's philosophy of tying new technology directly to warfighter needs, from AI-tuned radar to layered defense systems. Lockheed Ventures – Moran's view on “gaps and hedges,” the fund's 90+ portfolio companies, and how primes and startups can create one-plus-one-equals-three outcomes. AI and open architectures – where generative AI, advanced autonomy, and spectrum convergence are reshaping design, manufacturing, and operations. The prime paradox – responding to critics who call primes slow and risk-averse, and why, in Clark's words, “don't believe the hype—innovation happens every day inside Lockheed.” This conversation highlights how the largest defense contractor in the world is leaning into venture capital, software-hardware convergence, and cultural lessons from Skunk Works to keep pace with evolving threats while partnering with startups. This episode is hosted by Josh Pickering and Andrew Couillard.

From counter-UAS task forces to the Pentagon's $330M-per-jet regrets, this episode tears into drone threats, Space Force drama, and Operation Midnight Hammer's massive flex… that also accidentally exposed all our weak spots. We're talking fleet gaps, busted tankers, munitions shortages, and decision-makers who keep canceling the wrong programs.

What's the real difference between ISR (Infant Swimming Resource) and traditional swim lessons and is one really safer? In this episode, I sit down with a certified ISR instructor to break down what ISR actually is, how it works, and why it's not the “throw-your-baby-in-the-pool” method people assume it is. With drowning being the leading cause of accidental death in kids ages 1–4, this conversation is a must-listen for any parent near water. We cover: The history and science behind ISR How ISR teaches self-rescue and survival skills How it compares to traditional swim classes (including one-on-one lessons) Why lessons are just 10 minutes a day and why that works Common misconceptions: trauma, tears, and floating myths What to look for in a swim instructor When babies and toddlers can safely start ISR Whether you're a pool owner, beach-goer, or just a parent exploring water safety, this episode will help you make informed decisions and feel more confident in protecting your child around water.

The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment is America's most lethal and versatile projection of combat power. When our Special Operations Forces require precision insertion, extraction and fire support, the pilots of the 160th deliver. Born from the need to develop an aviation regiment capable of anything, anywhere, anytime, the 160th SOAR is the only Special Operations Unit to have been deployed continuously since inception.To discuss the critical role of the 160th SOAR, their command team of COL Steve Smith and CW5 Pete Sullivan invited Fran Racioppi for a ride on an MH-47 Chinook and demonstration of the AH-64 Little Birds in action. From the tail ramp, we discussed the mission of the 160th, their interoperability supporting Green Berets, Navy SEALs and Army Rangers; and the various aircraft in their arsenal. We also explored the recruiting, assessment and selection process for pilots, crew and maintainers; the culture of an organization that has a no fail mission; and how technology is changing aviation as they prepare to combat both near peer adversaries and terrorist organizations. Watch, listen or read our conversation from the workhorse heavy lift aircraft responsible for the delivery of personnel and equipment in the harshest environments.

Regardless of what your job is, if you can't meet the standard, you won't be employed in the Regiment.”“You can't do precision if you do anything else.” “We can't always look at one adversary because something else might happen that we have to react to fairly quickly.”“If we can increase our range, survivability, and lethality, we have a major advantage for any adversary.”“Manned and unmanned teaming is the future.”“Don't let a speedbump become a roadblock.”“Not everything is going to go right the first time, but you can't make the same mistake three times and expect to be successful.”“Our people are critical problem solvers.”“I've had the highest of highs and lowest of lows in the regiment, but because of the people I'm around, they've made it the best of the situation that it could be.”The Jedburgh Podcast is brought to you by University of Health & Performance, providing our Veterans world class education and training as fitness and nutrition entrepreneurs.

Send us a textIf today's Pentagon brief were a movie, it'd be a dark comedy with no budget and a glitchy drone trying to play hero. Jared returns with another savage rundown of everything broken in military bureaucracy—from the $18B PCS debacle to the Air Force accidentally playing bumper cars with drones mid-flight.We're talking Space Force funding so bad it's practically space homelessness, transgender policy whiplash, B-21 bombers being bought like Costco bulk snacks, and a DoD so addicted to credit it'd make Congress blush. Add in China flexing its missile game and our response being “eh, maybe 145 bombers will fix it,” and you've got today's briefing.This episode's got radar bombs, hurricane hunters, lost civilian jobs, and a new Air Force Secretary who hopefully doesn't suck at graduation speeches.
