The mitigation of orbital debris is an increasingly serious problem that has not gotten enough attention, but this is changing. Commercial companies are addressing orbital debris, and one of them, KMI Space, has flown its experiments aboard the International Space Station, performing over 170 individual rendezvous-and-grab operations. The results are very promising, and the company is moving ahead with ever more ambitious designs. Adam Kall of KMI joins us to discuss their work on the ISS, the goals of the company, and how nature—via the humble octopus and gecko lizards—may have provided the answers for this vexing problem.

Story of the Week (DR):L3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conduct MML3Harris Technologies, the company that overhauled a Qatari plane now used as Air Force One, has replaced Christopher Kubasik as chairman and chief executive after an investigation determined he violated the defense contractor's code of conduct.Kubasik's alleged conduct didn't involve and has no impact on the Melbourne, Fla., company's financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance, L3Harris said Monday.The company didn't give details on when it received a report of the potential violation. With the aid of independent counsel, the board determined that Kubasik's removal would be in the company's best interest, L3Harris said. He will be allowed to retain and exercise some previously vested stock options but won't receive severance payments, benefits or accelerated stock-based awards.L3Harris Technologies Appoints Sam Mehta, Proven Aerospace and Defense Executive, as President and Chief Executive Officer“The Board determined that the Executive engaged in conduct that was not consistent with the values of the Company as outlined in its Code of Conduct.”Kubasik will still hold onto some of his options that can net him stock worth about $23 million, as well as more than 200,000 shares of stock in L3Harris that he already owns, valued at nearly $57 million. L3Harris has paid Kubasik compensation valued at $66.3 million during the past three years, including $25.6 million in fiscal 2025.The separation disclosure says the L3Harris board decided to reach a deal with Kubasik to get him to leave rather than trying to fire him for cause. Kubasik did not admit to any violation of the company code of conduct, and the deal expressively forbids any of the parties or their representatives from making public statements “inconsistent” with Monday's disclosure.AND THIS:Women at L3Harris Shared Concerns About CEO's Behavior Years Before OusterIt was a warning that was shared among women who worked for Chris Kubasik: Avoid being alone with the executive and be careful on the corporate jet.Multiple women at defense contractor L3Harris Technologies LHX had raised concerns about Kubasik's behavior, including a formal complaint from one woman to human resources that was made around 2023, according to people familiar with the matter. The employee accused the CEO of sexual harassment, the people said.Kubasik stayed on in his role. The woman left L3Harris. Not all L3Harris board members were briefed on the 2023 complaint and it is unclearOusted L3Harris CEO was previously forced out of Lockheed Martin jobChristopher Kubasik's ouster as the L3Harris CEO was not the first time he was forced out of a company amid an allegation of misconduct.In 2012, Kubasik was set to become the CEO of Lockheed Martin when he was forced to resign after an ethics investigation confirmed that he had a close personal relationship with a subordinate employee.Why Do Boards Keep Giving Misbehaving CEOs Second Chances?L3Harris Technologies' LHX chief executive is out because of misconduct allegations, and it isn't the first time: More than a decade ago, Christopher Kubasik resigned from Lockheed Martin because he was accused of having a relationship with a subordinate.The Crucial Moment That Companies Miss After They Oust a CEOIt matters how a company responds to a scandal once it's caught in one, most blow the moment by choosing secrecy over transparency. It's an opportunity to reset the culture that led to the breach in the first place, but instead “your PR team and your legal team tell you ‘Don't dig into these things—it's not good for the company,' so you silence all the debates.”.Meta faces a $1.4 trillion threat that could mean ‘turning in the keys and walking away'—but the stakes of the case reach across techThe trial involves a coalition of 29 state attorneys general in a unified case against Meta that was brought in 2023, and will be argued by lawyers representing California, Colorado, New Jersey and Kentucky. The stakes are enormous as leading government officials across the country push for Meta to be held accountable for allegedly violating federal and state laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, and various consumer protection statutes.States accuse Meta of targeting children for Facebook, Instagram addiction: 'The young ones are the best ones'Meta whistleblower told jury the company took a 'don't ask, don't tell' approach to kids' safety‘Harvest their data and hide the truth from the public': Four states seek billions from Meta over child safety practicesSEC says it will stop responding to no-action requests ‘entirely'The Securities and Exchange Commission plans to stop responding to no-action requests “entirely … effective immediately,” the agency said in a statement Friday.The decision comes after the SEC sat out the bulk of the no-action process during the 2025-26 proxy season. Investor advocates have since sued the agency, alleging the change violates the Administrative Procedure Act.AI data center outrage is showing up everywhere from ads to electionsAI data center outrage is showing up everywhere from ads to electionsGOP Begs AI Firms to Fix Data Centers' “Toxic Brand” to Help Midterm Chances As A.I.

Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Ben Horowitz serves on the board of Databricks, and partner Martin Casado is a board member of Fivetran. Both companies help businesses collect, organize and analyze massive troves of data.Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):MacKenzie Scott gave California public education $461 million—and let the recipients decide how to spend every dollarMM: Andreessen Horowitz Focus of DOJ Probe Over Board Directors DRAssholiest of the Week (MM):Bill Brown and Robert Millard DRNever accountable for anything directorsL3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conductHistory lesson:Kubasik hired in 2015 after Lockheed disaster firing, hired as COO and PresidentPresiding CEO: Michael Strianese, Chair from 2008, CEO from 2006Board: Claude Canizares (71, MIT physics professor, 2003)Thomas Corcoran (72, Carlyle, consulting, 1997)Ann Dunwoody (64, only woman, US Army Gen, 2013)Lewis Kramer (69, EY accountant, 2009)Robert Millard (66, MIT Chair, Lehman until 2008 collapse, LID, 1997)Lloyd Newton (74, only PoC - token black guy - US Air Force General, 2012)Vincent Pagano, Jr (66, lawyer, Simpson Thacher, chair of nom, 2013)Hugh Shelton (75, US Army Gen, 2011), Arthure Simon (85, accountant, 2001)8 white men, 1 woman, 1 black dude2018, Kubasik named CEO of L3 TechnologiesMichael Strianese retires and Kubasik takes overSame exact board minus Strianese2019, L3 and Harris merge to be L3HarrisKubasik added to L3Harris board, named COO and President of the company under Bill Brown, CEO and ChairSurviving the board merger:Thomas CorcoranRobert Millard - LID, nom memberLloyd Newton - chair of nomLewis KramerAdjacent - Roger Fradin of Carlyle on board, Corcoran also of CarlyleJune 2021, Kubasik becomes CEO and Bill Brown moves to exec chair (obviously)Board:Sallie BaileyBill BrownPeter ChiarelliThomas CorcoranThomas Dattilo (nom) - ex tire CEORober GradinHarry HarrisLewis Hay III (nom) - lawyer, ex CEo of NextEraLewis KramerRita LanRobert Millard (nom) - MIT Chair, LehmanLloyd Newton (nom chair) - generalSo given that the CEOs choose their successors, the nom committees approve them, the rest of the board rubber stamps it… we can thank:Michael Strianese - hires Kubasik, names him CEO at L3, despite Lockheed problemsNom approval: Ann Dunwoody (64, only woman, US Army Gen, 2013), Vincent Pagano, Jr (66, lawyer, Simpson Thacher, chair of nom, 2013), Hugh Shelton (75, US Army Gen, 2011) - a nom committee composed of the ONLY woman, two generals and a lawyer - all of whom are the LOWEST TENURED ON THE BOARD at the timeThen Bill Brown - names Kubasik CEO of combined L3Harris, one year of babysitting as exec chairNom approval: Thomas Dattilo (nom) - ex tire CEO, Robert Millard (nom) - MIT Chair, Lehman, Lloyd Newton (nom chair) - generalFamiliar names: Millard and Newton - see Kubasik all the way throughAnd the CEOs and directors can keep failing… Bill Brown on the Becton Dickinson boardRobert Millard on the Green Dot Corp (nom!), iHeartMedia, Evercore (nom!) boardsBrought on to iHeart board just 3 years after an exec there went on a racial slur rant, the company was sued for gender and wage discrimination, and a radio host of the companies were accused of severe harassment - not sure what will change?Dario Amodei“Public benefit corporation” Anthropic: Anthropic Prepares Supervoting Power for Founders as it Readies for Mega-IPOBoard: Dario Amodei, Daniela Amodei (President, Dario's sister), Yasmin Razavi (VC, crypto and prediction market investor), Reed Hastings (Netflix), Chris Liddell (ex Trump WH Deputy Secretary), and Vas Narasimhan (Novartis) - zero “public benefit” (or even public safety) peoplePublic Benefit Corporation: “A benefit corporation's directors and officers operate the business with the same authority and behavior as in a traditional corporation, but are required to consider the impact of their decisions not only on shareholders but also on employees, customers, the community, and the local and global environment”What is the impact of supervoting shares? AI on society? AI on the environment? Who on this board is even remotely qualified to answer those questions?Paul AtkinsExhausting and perpetual gaslightingSEC says it will stop responding to no-action requests ‘entirely'In order to focus Division resources on the review of Securities Act and Exchange Act filings, including those reviews that are statutorily required, for the protection of investors and facilitation of capital formation, and in light of the extensive body of guidance from the Commission and the staff available to both companies and proponents on Rule 14a-8, the Division has determined to discontinue responding to Rule 14a-8 no-action requests entirely, including those submitted under Rule 14a-8(i)(1),[2] effective immediately, unless and until the Division announces otherwise. It also will no longer respond to notices filed under Rule 14a-8(j) with a letter indicating that it will not object if a company omits a proposal from its proxy materials.From the 1934 House Report about the importance of Rule 14a-8: “Fair corporate suffrage is an important right that should attach to every equity security bought on a public exchange.”“Managements of properties owned by the investing public should not be permitted to perpetuate themselves by the misuse of corporate proxies. Insiders having little or no substantial interest in the properties they manage have often retained their control without an adequate disclosure of their interest and without an adequate explanation of the management policies they intend to pursue. Insiders have at times solicited proxies without fairly informing the stockholders of the purposes for which the proxies are to be used and have used such proxies to take from the stockholders for their own selfish advantage valuable property rights. Inasmuch as only the exchanges make it possible for securities to be widely distributed among the investing public, it follows as a corollary that the use of the exchanges should involve a corresponding duty of according to shareholders fair suffrage. For this reason the proposed bill gives the . . . Commission power to control the conditions under which proxies may be solicited with a view to preventing the recurrence of abuses which have frustrated the free exercise of the voting rights of stockholders.Investors Slam SEC Plan to Remove Best-Price RuleAtkins also is listening to the crypto bros who want to offer “tokenized securities” off exchanges and is hoping to eliminate a really basic rule that says “investors are entitled to the best price available for stocks they buy”Separately, DOJ Withdraws Antitrust Guidance for Proxy Advisory Industry - no antitrust protections for ISS (good!) but still can't do anything about the socialist NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA (bad!)Headliniest of the WeekDR: Popular breakfast chain closes half its restaurantsDR: The man leading Trump's RTO charge for government workers says he filmed a video in front of a blank wall to avoid work-from-home suspicionOffice of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor, the key driver of President Donald Trump's return-to-office agenda, admitted in a hot mic moment that he intentionally filmed a video in front of a blank wall while he was working from home so he wouldn't get blowback over working at home.“I was in my bedroom, but I was trying to find—because I knew someone was going to give me shit if like, they knew, ‘You were out of the office.' …I was trying to find something that was not recognizable as being in my house, basically. So I was just trying to find a plain corner with a white wall, which was not that easy to find.”Kupor was the first employee hired by Andreessen and Horowitz's venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz.MM: Flock Says It's “Taking a Break” From Responding to Media RequestsMM: Eric Schmidt is selling his superyachtWho is this headline for?

Im Sport steht LEA für Low Energy Availability (niedrige Energieverfügbarkeit). Studien zufolge sind je nach Sportart zwischen 20 bis über 60 Prozent der Leistungssportlerinnen von unzureichender Energiezufuhr und dem daraus resultierenden RED-S-Syndrom (Relatives Energiedefizit im Sport) betroffen. "Iss einfach mehr und mach weniger Sport." ist oft die Empfehlung. Für viele Frauen ist das verständlicherweise leichter gesagt als getan. Deswegen spreche ich in dieser Folge mit Psychologin Janina darüber, welche psychologischen Faktoren eine Rolle bei der Entstehung von LEA und RED-S spielen und warum es für viele so schwer ist, mehr zu essen, obwohl sie eigentlich wissen, was zu tun ist.

Efterspørgslen efter energi er stor. Måske endda større end vi helt fatter. For mens verden i disse år formentlig er ved at tage et kvantespring frem mod helt nye teknologier, giver det sig selv, at energiefterspørgslen også kræver kvantespring. Millionærklubben undersøger, hvilke dele aktiemarkedet der kan tænkes at få gavn af den allerede igangværende udvikling og debatterer, hvordan man eksponerer sig bedst mod én af tidens helt store trends. I studiet ser chefanalytiker Lau Svenssen og aktiestrateg Michelle Nørgaard desuden på dagens aktuelle åbningsniveauer på børsen, og med på en telefon er også Mikkel Løgsted fra ABG Sundal Collier om halvårsregnskabet fra ISS.

Astronomy Daily · S05E160 · 6 August 2026. In this episode: a Falcon 9 upper stage confirmed to have struck the Moon; a live ISS spacewalk; supernova SN 2026gzf caught at first light; SpaceX Crew-13 previewed; and a both-hemispheres guide to the 12 August eclipse and Perseids. FALCON 9 LUNAR IMPACT (LEAD) ●        Spent upper stage 2025-010D struck near Einstein Crater (~19.4°N, 93.3°W) at ~06:35 UTC, 5 Aug 2026 — matching Bill Gray / Project Pluto predictions. ●        ESO's Very Large Telescope (Paranal) detected sodium and lithium in the impact plume for ~5–10 minutes — sodium from lunar soil, lithium likely from the rocket. ●        NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter holds a pre-impact baseline and will image the fresh crater, giving a rare before-and-after dataset to validate hollow-body impact models for future landers. ●        Origin: Falcon 9 launched 15 Jan 2025 with Firefly Blue Ghost 1 and ispace Resilience; the stage was left adrift and returned unplanned via solar activity and gravity. ●        Sources: NASA; ESO / VLT; CNN; Project Pluto (projectpluto.com); Fernando et al., arXiv:2607.14625. ISS SPACEWALK — U.S. EVA 96 ●        NASA's Jessica Meir (Expedition 75 commander) and Anil Menon; ~6.5 h EVA beginning ~08:35 EDT, 6 Aug; live on NASA+. ●        Task: reconfigure the 3B power channel to accept a seventh roll-out solar array later in 2026 — part of station upkeep ahead of the planned 2030 deorbit. ●        Menon's first spacewalk; two further EVAs scheduled 13 and 25 Aug. ●        Sources: NASA / NASA+ ; NASA ISS blog. SUPERNOVA SN 2026GZF ●        X-ray “shock breakout” (EP260321a) detected by China's Einstein Probe on 21 Mar 2026 from a galaxy ~500 million light-years away; follow-up revealed a broad-lined Type Ic supernova. ●        Unusually, no gamma-ray burst and no lasting relativistic jet — and the faintest shock breakout yet linked to this class; a possible missing link between ordinary and GRB-producing supernovae. ●        Follow-up used NSF NOIRLab facilities including DECam and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. Two teams: O'Connor et al. (CMU) and Rastinejad et al. (UMD), in ApJL. ●        Sources: NSF NOIRLab; Carnegie Mellon University; The Astrophysical Journal Letters. SPACEX CREW-13 ●        Targeting NET 12 Sep 2026 aboard Crew Dragon Grace from SLC-40, Cape Canaveral. ●        Crew: Jessica Watkins (NASA, cmdr — first NASA astronaut to fly Dragon twice), Luke Delaney (NASA, pilot), Joshua Kutryk (CSA), Sergey Teteryatnikov (Roscosmos). 180-day stay; moved up from November. ●        Sources: NASA; SpaceX; Houston Public Media. SKYWATCH — 12 AUGUST & BEYOND ●        Total solar eclipse 12 Aug: totality across E Greenland, W Iceland, N Spain and NE Portugal (max 2m18s). Partial across northern US (Alaska–N Carolina), most of Canada, much of Europe and NW Africa. NASA livestream from 1:15 pm EDT. ●        US partial highlights: Presque Isle ME ~29% (contiguous-US max); NYC ~9% from ~1:07 pm EDT; Boston ~16%; Toronto ~8%; Montreal ~18%; St John's ~53%. ●        Perseids peak 12–13 Aug under a new Moon (northern-favoured, up to ~100/hr from dark northern sites). ●        Southern Hemisphere: pre-dawn planet parade (Saturn best, near opposition; Mars, Mercury, Uranus, Neptune), brilliant Venus in the evening west, and the winter Milky Way high overhead. ●        Look-ahead: deep partial lunar eclipse 28 Aug (96% umbral), favouring the Americas. ●        SAFETY: use only ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses / solar filters during any partial phase. ●        Sources: NASA; ESA; Sky & Telescope; BBC Sky at Night; EarthSky; timeanddate.com; The Planetary Society.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-latest-space-news--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

Join us this month for a special Lesser-trod Paths episode with David the Ñoldo! Springing from our last Lesser-trod History episode about The War of the Jewels, David joins us to discuss the dwarves in Tolkien's legendarium. Looking through a lens of source criticism of secondary world authorship, David challenges us to consider who in the legendarium is writing about the dwarves, where these authors get their sources, and what potential biases are present. David asks us to consider whose history is written down and whose is silenced, and question why.    Citations:  Thank you to our guest, David the Ñoldo!  David's linktree: https://linktr.ee/davidthengoldo Voices of Arda Episode 65: David the Ñoldo, May 29, 2026, Season 1 episode 65 https://poddtoppen.se/podcast/1647183649/voices-of-arda-podcast/voices-of-arda-episode-65-david-the-noldo (Accessed July 9, 2026) David's Bibliography Agøy, Nils Ivar, “Viewpoints, Audiences and Lost Texts” in The Silmarillion Thirty Years On, ed. by Allan Turner, p.149-163.   Fimi, Dimitra.

The Strange Case of Rob, Michele and Nick Reiner Episode 393 – It came as a shock when Rob and Michele Reiner were murdered late last year. Now, their son Nick, accused of the murders, is trying to fund his defense using money in a trust fund provided by his parents. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 393 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: the strange case of Rob, Michele & Nick Reiner. World-famous movie director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were both stabbed to death in their home in the early hours of December 14, 2025. Their son, Nick, was arrested soon afterward and charged with first-degree murder. No conviction has occurred, and Nick Reiner is entitled to the presumption of innocence while proceedings occur. Nick had gotten into a heated argument with his parents the previous evening, during a party at the home of Conan O’Brien, a well-known television talk show host.[1] Upon his arrest, Nick hired a well-known defense attorney named Alan Jackson, who had previously represented Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein, but Jackson eventually withdrew from the case. Jackson at first refused to specifically state why he withdrew, but it is believed that money was a main issue.[2] Reiner is currently represented by Los Angeles County Public Defender Kimberly Greene, but according to a petition filed on his behalf, Jackson is willing to come back to assist with the case. Reiner would like to rehire Jackson, but he needs to find a way to pay him.[3] Nick apparently has no current source of income, but he does have a trust fund, set up by his parents, which is estimated to be at least $1.5 million. Through his attorney, Nick is petitioning the court for access to the trust fund to help finance his defense.[4] In other words, he would like to use some of the money his parents gave him to help defend himself against the murder charges. The terms of the trust are specific: half of the funds were supposed to be distributed when he reached age 30 in 2023, with the other half to be distributed when he turns 35. The 2023 distribution apparently did not happen.[5] As for the second payment, due in 2028, the outcome is in doubt. If convicted, Nick would likely be prohibited from collecting it due to California's “slayer statute.”[6] Most U.S. states have a slayer statute. This type of law first gained attention in 1989 when the Menendez brothers were accused of killing their parents in Beverly Hills, CA. The brothers were convicted of murder and prohibited from collecting their inheritance from their parents' estate. In California, the statute states that someone who murders someone else cannot inherit assets or gain any financial profit as a result. The burden of proof varies, with some states requiring a criminal conviction to void a disposition, and other states requiring only civil liability.[7] In Nick's case, if the statute is ruled applicable, it would result in Nick being treated as if he had predeceased his parents.[8] A big part of the issue is the unmade trust distribution from 2023, which was scheduled before the crime was committed. The trustee apparently denied the payment due to Nick's history of substance abuse, and his alleged inability to manage the trust assets on his own.[9] [10] For his part, Nick's attorney classifies this as a subjective opinion, which, in his view, is not a valid reason to hold back the money.[11] But things get even more complicated from there. Nick's side has also argued that the assets in question are not assets of his deceased parents' estate, but assets of a trust that had already been funded before the crimes occurred. The argument is that once the assets went into the trust, they were no longer part of Rob and Michele Reiner's estates. [12] Then there's the issue of legal competence. The counterargument offered by Nick's lawyer is that the trustee has the authorization to make payments to a fiduciary, so competency shouldn't be relevant.[13] Reiner asserted in a court filing that his two siblings, Jake and Romy Reiner, had agreed at first to pay legal fees to retain Alan Jackson, but later changed their minds.[14] Their role in any future trial or litigation remains to be seen. Of course, Nick Reiner is presumed innocent until proven guilty. For now, his trust attorneys claim that by blocking access to what they characterize as his own funds, the trustee is effectively punishing him before he is convicted.[15] There’s still a lot to be determined here.

Au Cameroun et en République démocratique du Congo, des efforts sont faits dans la gestion du secteur aurifère, mais ils restent insuffisants et les revenus de l'or sont de moins en moins reversés dans les caisses de l'État. C'est en somme la conclusion d'un rapport de l'Institut d'études de sécurité (ISS) publié ce mois-ci. Selon l'ITIE (Initiative pour la transparence dans les industries extractives), le Cameroun a par exemple déclaré en 2023, 22 kilos d'or exportés, alors que les importateurs affirment en avoir acheté 15 tonnes. On en parle ce matin avec la professeure Aïcha Pemboura, chercheuse à l'Observatoire du crime organisé et de la violence en Afrique centrale de l'ISS. Elle répond aux questions de Magali Lagrange. RFI : Comment fonctionne au Cameroun l'exploitation des sites aurifères ? Qui les exploite ? Aïcha Pemboura : Il y a beaucoup d'acteurs sur le terrain de l'exploitation de l'or au Cameroun : des étrangers – des opérateurs notamment chinois – mais aussi des entreprises minières camerounaises.  Cet ensemble d'acteurs ont jusqu'ici souvent évolué dans une forme d'opacité. C'est pour cela que les autorités camerounaises, ayant reconnu ce dysfonctionnement, ont déployé des forces pour sécuriser certains sites illégaux et suspendre des activités illégales, dans un certain nombre de sites identifiés. Des autorisations sont délivrées aux exploitants des sites aurifères. Comment ces exploitants obtiennent-ils les autorisations, y compris d'ailleurs des exploitants étrangers ? Il y a eu, jusqu'ici, beaucoup d'opacité dans le secteur parce que, dans le contexte de fragilité de la gouvernance minière, l'existence d'un certain nombre de réseaux d'influence locaux économiques, administratifs ou parfois politiques, peut contribuer à limiter l'effectivité des contrôles et à faciliter certains contournements de la réglementation. Vous parlez dans votre document, par exemple, d'intermédiaires camerounais. Est-ce qu'on sait quel type d'intermédiaires agissent dans ce secteur ? Il faudrait davantage d'investigation pour vous donner des réponses encore plus précises.                                                                                                                                                                                 Vous parlez aussi de plusieurs entreprises chinoises, notamment, qui sont protégées par de puissantes élites. Est-ce qu'on a plus de précisions sur ces protections dont bénéficient certains opérateurs, y compris chinois ? Il a été documenté que certaines entreprises chinoises ont pu bénéficier des faiblesses des dispositifs de contrôle. En réalité, dans notre article, nous évoquons le cas de deux pays : le Cameroun et la République démocratique du Congo. Les problèmes sont très semblables, mais avec quelques différences contextuelles. Nous évoquons, en ce qui concerne ces opérateurs étrangers, chinois notamment, que les défis ont conduit ces autorités camerounaises et congolaises à renforcer progressivement leur dispositif de gouvernance. L'enjeu ici est également d'assurer un suivi, d'évaluer leur application réelle sur le terrain et de renforcer les capacités institutionnelles afin de garantir leur efficacité, leur impact et leur durabilité dans le temps. C'est tout l'enjeu. En République démocratique du Congo, vous notez aussi une présence dans le secteur aurifère, une présence chinoise dans les provinces de l'est notamment. Est-ce que ce sont les mêmes opérateurs qu'au Cameroun ? Est-ce que ce sont les mêmes réseaux d'exploitation ? Certes, les opérateurs de nationalité chinoise, nous pouvons les retrouver tant en République démocratique du Congo qu'au Cameroun. Mais les contextes étant différents, il faut préciser qu'en RDC, certaines zones minières sont affectées par la présence de groupes armés, ce qui complexifie fortement la gouvernance du secteur. Dans ce pays, les mesures sont plus développées en raison de l'importance du secteur aurifère et des risques de financement de groupes armés. Dans les deux pays, Cameroun comme RDC, l'exploitation de l'or échappe en grande partie au contrôle, et donc aux réglementations en vigueur, avec quelles conséquences pour les communautés riveraines ? La situation est préoccupante : destruction des terres, pollution au mercure, au cyanure. Il faut que les opérateurs nationaux comme étrangers rendent des comptes et que les communautés soient indemnisées. Concernant l'activité elle-même, ces communautés riveraines des sites aurifères participent-elles à l'exploitation ou sont-elles complètement exclues de ces activités ? Il est difficile de dire qu'elles sont véritablement exclues, parce qu'il y a l'exploitation artisanale. Il faudrait donc pouvoir avoir une vue d'ensemble des acteurs. Est-ce qu'on connaît le circuit de l'or qui est extrait du Cameroun et de RDC ? Le rapport ITIE a mentionné le marché de Dubaï, comme l'un des principaux débouchés. Il y a beaucoup de difficultés dans la compréhension de tout ce processus, dans la transparence et dans la traçabilité de cette chaîne de valeur. Il faut un renforcement des capacités administratives et une meilleure coordination entre les différents services de l'État pour qu'on puisse avoir une transparence des attributions de permis, déclaration des volumes produits, des flux commerciaux et des débouchés. Au Cameroun, par exemple, le gouvernement dit vouloir assainir le secteur. Qu'est-ce qu'il faut faire pour assainir durablement le secteur de l'exploitation aurifère ? Plusieurs actions sont déjà en cours. Il s'agit notamment de renforcer les inspections sur les sites miniers, d'améliorer la traçabilité de l'or, de formaliser davantage l'exploitation artisanale et d'assurer un meilleur suivi des opérateurs. Mais ces efforts gagneraient à être accompagnés d'une coopération régionale plus étroite. Les réseaux de contrebande ne s'arrêtent pas aux frontières, on le sait. La réponse doit donc également être régionale, notamment entre les pays de la communauté économique des États de l'Afrique centrale (CEEAC).

Join Book Worm on this out-of-this-world Story Snack and step aboard the International Space Station — the most extraordinary thing human beings have ever built — where everything floats, sixteen sunrises happen every single day, and six astronauts are living and working right now, as you listen, above your head. Meet Vera, an astronomer who has spent fifty years looking up at the ISS through her telescope — and has never once been inside it. Discover why orbiting Earth is really just falling sideways very fast, learn what the thin blue line hugging our planet actually is, and suit up for a spacewalk where the only thing between you and the silence of space is a helmet, a backpack full of oxygen, and a tether you really don't want to let go of. Together, you'll discover that seeing our whole planet at once — small, bright, and fragile in all that black — changes the way you look at everything.

In this inspiring episode of Reading With Your Kids, we blast off from a tiny Minnesota town all the way to the International Space Station—and then settle into the balcony of a creaky old movie theater. First, Jed chats with astronaut Dr. Karen Nyberg and her co-author Anne McCallum about their beautiful picture book A Quilt of Stars: Astronaut Karen Nyberg Stitches a Dream. Karen shares how her childhood love of sewing and her dream of space travel came together when she actually sewed in space, using Velcro, Ziploc bags, and a makeshift sewing nook on the ISS. She describes the powerful "overview effect" of seeing Earth without borders and how that perspective shaped both her life and this book. Anne talks about discovering Karen's story, the global quilt project that collected over 2400 star-themed blocks from more than 30 countries, and how this book can spark family conversations about dreams, perseverance, and our shared humanity. Then we head from orbit to the projection booth with author Brad Barkley, who introduces his YA novel The Real Life of Zara Keig. Zara is a 16-year-old still grieving her mother's death, hiding out as a projectionist in a rundown theater that only shows old black-and-white monster movies. As she navigates first love, loss, and a distant dad, the book gently explores grief, mental health, and figuring out who you are—for both teens and parents. Jed and Brad highlight how co-reading this novel can open honest, heartfelt conversations in families.

Astronomy Daily — S05E141 | Wednesday 15 July 2026 Anna and Avery bring you the biggest space and astronomy news of the day: Starship Flight 13 is cleared for Thursday after the FAA closes its Flight 12 investigation and SpaceX reveals exactly what went wrong; NASA astronaut Anil Menon rides a Soyuz to the ISS on his first flight; astronomers finally find the first of Omega Centauri's 10,000 "missing" black holes; the first-ever medical X-rays taken in space are published; four white dwarfs are found hiding within 65 light-years of Earth; and a new-moon dark-sky window opens with Comet 10P/Tempel 2 on the rise. In this episode •       Starship Flight 13 — FAA closes the Flight 12 mishap investigation (July 13); root causes revealed: hot-staging ignition sequence caused a 90° booster orientation error, five Raptors failed to relight, alarm settings shut engines down early. Launch window opens Thursday July 16, 6:45pm EDT (Friday 8:45am AEST) with the first 20 functional Starlink V3 satellites and an in-space Raptor relight. •       Soyuz MS-29 — NASA's Anil Menon with cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina launched from Baikonur July 14, docking three hours later for an eight-month stay. Menon and wife Anna Menon (Polaris Dawn) become a two-astronaut household; NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman attended in person. •       Omega Centauri's first stellar-mass black hole — oMEGACat BH-2, found via astrometry in 20+ years of Hubble data plus Webb observations (ApJL, July 13). Lower-than-expected mass; its companion star's 94-year orbit makes it the longest-period black hole binary known. The cluster is naked-eye visible in southern winter skies right now. •       First medical X-rays in space — RSNA publishes results from the Fram2 Crew Dragon mission: crew with 4 hours' training produced diagnostic-quality X-rays in orbit, opening the door to space radiology and non-destructive hardware testing on Moon and Mars missions. •       Four hidden white dwarfs — Warwick/Colorado Boulder team unmasks four white dwarfs within 65 light-years using Hubble near-UV spectroscopy (MNRAS). G 203-47, ~25 light-years away, is now the ninth-closest known white dwarf and closes a 27-year-old wobble mystery. •       Skywatch — New Moon (July 14) dark skies, Milky Way core season for the Southern Hemisphere, Comet 10P/Tempel 2 at magnitude 7–8 brightening toward early-August perihelion, and Mars near Aldebaran pre-dawn.

Bob Zimmerman — China successfully recovered a reusable rocket stage, joining SpaceX and Blue Origin in the race for cheaper launches; on the ISS, a private company successfully manufactured human kidney and liver tissues, and SpaceX continues to break records, with boosters flying up to 36 times, significantly reducing satellite launch costs. (15)e

SCHEDULE JBS, 7-13-26.1914 PALESTINESamuel Ben-Ur — Israel controls 70% of Gaza, creating a buffer zone while Hamas remains on the coast; 98% of the population resides on the Hamas-controlled side, where the group exploits humanitarian aid for revenue, and the Board of Peace proposes a "pilot zone" in Tel Sultan for non-Hamas civilians. (1)Samuel Ben-Ur — The Board of Peace remains underfunded, with only $23 million confirmed of the $17 billion pledged; Hamas rejected an eight-month disarmament plan, its leadership has largely relocated from Qatar to Turkey, and Netanyahu's political standing depends on his hardline refusal to cede Gaza territory. (2)Bill Gertz and Gordon Chang — Rose Gottemoeller suggests Vladimir Putin nearly used tactical nuclear weapons in 2022 to stop a military rout, allegedly dissuaded by private pressure from the U.S., China, and India; reports indicate China is now providing covert military training to Russian forces. (3)Mark Simon and Gordon Chang — China released Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri following a request from Donald Trump, showing Xi Jinping can make concessions without losing face; however, billionaire publisher Jimmy Lai remains imprisoned for political crimes, viewed by the Chinese government as a significant threat and a "one-man wrecking crew." (4)Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter — Guests pay tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham, highlighting his role in the Abraham Accords and US-Israel relations; Israeli elections are set for October 27th, and regional tensions rise as the U.S. reimposes a naval blockade on Iran following renewed attacks on Gulf neighbors. (5)Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter — Anti-Semitism is surging in the UK, leading to a £250 million government allocation for protection; Iran continues to act as an "octopus" of instability across the Middle East, and guests argue that dealing with Iran is the only way to achieve regional peace and allow the area to bloom. (6)David Daoud — Hezbollah fighters are integrated into southern Lebanese villages, making evacuation north of the Litani River unfeasible; while Lebanese law requires disarmament, the government lacks the will to confront Hezbollahdue to its significant social support, turning Lebanon into a hollowed-out, failed state. (7)David Daoud — Prime Minister Netanyahu uses theatrical tours of the border to project strength ahead of the October elections; he faces criticism for being unable to say "no" to President Trump, and ultimately the fate of Israeli military deployments in Lebanon and Gaza depends more on Washington than Jerusalem. (8)Bridget Toomey — Saudi Arabia struck Sanaa airport to prevent Iran from establishing direct flights to Houthi-controlled territory; the Houthis have vowed retaliation, potentially targeting Saudi oil infrastructure or airports with drones and missiles, though they have avoided attacking U.S. vessels to prevent renewed air campaigns. (9)John Hardie — President Trump signaled he will grant Ukraine a license to produce Patriot missile systems, though standing up production will take years; meanwhile, Germany is financing 50,000 AI-guided drones for Ukraine, which use terminal guidance to strike targets despite electronic warfare interference. (10)Edmund Fitton-Brown — The U.S. is reimposing a naval blockade on Iran after the collapse of the poorly drafted memorandum of understanding; Iran's economy is "choking to death" under these measures, and guests argue the U.S.must prioritize controlling the Strait of Hormuz through international cooperation and naval power. (11)Edmund Fitton-Brown — The truce between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis may be over following strikes on Sanaaairport, with retaliatory attacks potentially targeting major Saudi international airports and oil facilities; despite Iranianinfluence, the new Iraqi prime minister appears to be drifting toward the United States for security and stability. (12)Ahmad Sharawi — President Trump has agreed to review lifting Syria's state sponsor of terror designation to aid its economic recovery; however, the country remains unstable, with rampant ISIS activity and foreign leaders facing security risks in Damascus, while Turkey and Saudi Arabia position themselves to invest heavily in Syria. (13)Jonathan Schanzer — The naval blockade on Iran represents the "maximum pressure" campaign, effectively dropping Iranian oil exports to zero; this economic strangulation poses an existential threat to the regime, which struggles to pay its personnel, and recent direct missile exchanges suggest diplomatic understandings between the U.S. and Iran have collapsed. (14)Bob Zimmerman — China successfully recovered a reusable rocket stage, joining SpaceX and Blue Origin in the race for cheaper launches; on the ISS, a private company successfully manufactured human kidney and liver tissues, and SpaceX continues to break records, with boosters flying up to 36 times, significantly reducing satellite launch costs. (15)Bob Zimmerman — SETI has tightened protocols for announcing alien life to prevent "clickbait" claims lacking evidence, with scientists encouraged to be more transparent about mistakes and maintain anonymity during discoveries; future missions include deploying helicopters to Mars and launching the Habitable Worlds Observatory in the 2040s. (16)Corrections: Samuel Bener → Samuel Ben-Ur; Bill Girtz → Bill Gertz; Pastor Jyn / Ezra Jin Mingu → Ezra Jin Mingri; Jimmy Lie → Jimmy Lai; Thaddius McCotter → Thaddeus McCotter; Bridget Tumeh → Bridget Toomey; John Hardy → John Hardie.One question: the batch ended with "1-8" — I've numbered the full run (1)–(16), but if you wanted this split as tails (1)–(8) across paired segments, or only the first eight numbered, say the word and I'll renumber.

Investigativní zjištění odhalila, že miliardář František Fabičovic, sponzor vládní strany Motoristé sobě, navzdory deklarovanému odchodu z ruského trhu nadále obchoduje v Rusku a Bělorusku prostřednictvím holdingu Alca Group. Místopředseda vládní SPD Radim Fiala využívá svěřenské fondy k optimalizaci daní ze zisku a do kolegia NKÚ nominoval stranického právníka Přikryla. Analýza Českých elfů potvrzuje, že ruská dezinformační síť přesunula své útoky z Petra Fialy na prezidenta Petra Pavla. V oblasti mezinárodní politiky složil britský poslanec Nigel Farage mandát kvůli vyšetřování skrytých pětimilionových darů a v doplňovacích volbách čelí recesistovi s popelnicí na hlavě. Spojené státy oslavily 250 let nezávislosti sérií korupčních skandálů Donalda Trumpa, které zahrnují ovlivňování šéfa FIFA Infantina a přijetí diamantového prstenu od belgické asociace AWDC výměnou za celní úlevy. V technologickém sektoru čelí firma Anthropic odhalení spywaru v aplikaci Claude Code, zatímco Evropská unie obnovuje plány na legislativu Chat Control 2.0, která má prolomit šifrovanou komunikaci občanů.Celé epizody na https://www.herohero.co/kanarcivsiti .  A nebo si kupte naše trička na https://www.neverenough.shop/kanarci .

Warum essen wir manchmal, obwohl wir gar keinen Hunger haben? Warum greifen wir zu Schokolade, wenn wir gestresst sind? Warum fällt es uns schwer, aufzuhören? Warum fühlen sich manche Essmuster so mächtig an? Oft glauben wir: Mit mir stimmt etwas nicht. Aber was, wenn dein Essverhalten gar nicht dein Problem ist? Was, wenn du einfach geprägt wurdest? Am Familientisch. Durch Regeln. Durch Blicke. Durch Sätze wie: „Iss deinen Teller leer.“ „Süßes ist nichts für dich.“ „Mach keine Extrawurst.“ In meiner neuen Podcastfolge schauen wir gemeinsam darauf, was deine Kindheit mit deinem Essverhalten zu tun hat — und warum das eine unglaublich entlastende Erkenntnis sein kann. Denn: Du bist nicht dein Essverhalten. Du hast ein gelerntes Essmuster. Und alles, was gelernt wurde, kann sich verändern.

What does it actually take to become an astronaut? Shubhanshu Shukla, the second Indian to travel to space after more than four decades, joins South Park Commons general partner Aditya Agarwal to share the answer. During Axiom Mission 4, Shukla became the first Indian aboard the International Space Station (ISS). An astronaut with ISRO and a Group Captain in the Indian Air Force, he shares what it takes to get there, from the intense selection process and psychological testing to a seven-day isolation challenge and other unexpected requirements candidates must meet.He also reflects on life in orbit, from speaking Hindi aboard the ISS for the first time to the disorientation, the overview effect, and the physical changes the human body experiences. Along the way, Shukla and Agarwal explore India's space ambitions and what it takes to chase an outsized dream.Shubhanshu Shukla: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagan-shux/ Aditya Agarwal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adityaagarwal3/ South Park Commons: https://www.linkedin.com/company/southparkcommons/Apply to SPC: https://www.southparkcommons.com/apply(00:00:00) - Introduction: Becoming Comfortable With the Uncomfortable(00:01:54) - Why Saying "Yes" Changed the Course of His Life(00:07:15) - What It Really Takes to Become an Astronaut(00:11:40) - The Physical, Medical, and Psychological Tests(00:15:21) - What It Feels Like to See Earth From Space(00:17:20) - Microgravity: How Space Changes Your Body and Mind(00:25:35) - The Pressure and Responsibility of Representing India in Space(00:28:29) - The New Space Economy and Why the Next Decade Will Be Different(00:35:03) - Advice for Entrepreneurs Building the Future of Space(00:44:19) - The Future of Human Space Exploration: Moon, Mars, and Beyond

Episode 547 Nick the Rat crawls up from the Brooklyn sewers with a grab-bag of end-times energy — mourning the collapse of his favorite podcast, ranting about the video game industry's layoff apocalypse, and reviewing (poorly) a $22 pack of pens from Staples. Things take a darker turn when he dives into the creeping rollout of biometric logins, facial-scan authentication, and data-sharing agreements between government agencies and private contractors — plus a real NYC office-to-apartment conversion that literally started buckling mid-build. Naturally, there's also a tangent on the best way to pop popcorn. The back half brings the full Dark Sewer Network crew: Bigfoot Assault delivers a gruesome cryptid-vs-alien-hybrid showdown in the Pacific Northwest, Zindu rants about fast food and IBS from his usual filthy corner of the galaxy, and Jane Hanoi covers a haunted ISS, a cursed earthquake artifact, and aliens roasting a Spielberg movie.

NASA's plan for what comes after the International Space Station (ISS) has been anything but stable. Since 2019, the agency's commercial space station strategy has shifted from free-flying vendor-operated stations to a government-owned module attached to the ISS, and back again, all while the clock ticks toward the ISS's expected retirement around 2030. Clayton Swope, deputy director of the Aerospace Security Project and senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, joins Planetary Society Chief of Space Policy Casey Dreier to unpack this saga and weigh whether NASA can realistically select and fund a commercial successor to the ISS in time.

Anatoly Zak. Anatoly Zak outlines Russia's plans for an independent space station following the ISS deorbiting around 2031. The aging Zvezda module will be retired, while newer modules launched after 2021 will form the new station.

Matthew applies three interlocking frameworks to the conspirituality phenomenon—and to the podcast itself. Drawing on Jodi Dean's theory of neofeudalism, Yanis Varoufakis's technofeudalism, and McKenzie Wark's vectoralism, he argues that conspirituality is an epistemic crisis—a problem of bad information spreading through inadequately critical communities—but also a structural product of platform capitalism's feudal logic. Dean's four elements (parcellated sovereignty, new lords and serfs, hinterlandization, and catastrophic anxiety) explain why certain populations are rendered susceptible before they encounter any specific piece of misinformation. Varoufakis names the extraction mechanism as  cloud rent. Wark shows what this means for the producer: a hacker class worker who owns every tool except the vector that makes the work valuable.  Matthew then turns the analysis on himself, exploring what it means to have spent six years building critical content inside the infrastructure he is criticising.

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

In April, the four crew members of NASA's Artemis II mission were the first humans to ever glimpse something that cannot be seen from Earth—the so-called dark side of the moon. The mission's commander, the former Navy captain Reid Wiseman, is fifty years old, which also makes him the oldest person ever to travel beyond low Earth orbit. Wiseman sat down recently with the New Yorker contributor David W. Brown. They talked about the challenge of NASA returning to the moon after many decades, Wiseman's struggle to parent his two daughters while training, and the strangeness and beauty of returning to Earth. “One thing that really did surprise me was how quickly Earth gets so small out the window,” Wiseman explains. “It's like a fingernail, almost; the size of a quarter. It's just impossibly tiny out there. There's a little tiny super-bright crescent of an Earth.”  Further reading and listening:  “The Leader of NASA's Artemis II Mission Is Still Moonstruck,” by David W.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-5-2026.1900 ADAMS BOULEVARD LA. Jeff Bliss highlights the stark contrast between Seattle's controlled homelessness and the pervasive crisis in Los Angeles. The discussion transitions to California's jungle primary, where late-arriving ballots in the Los Angelesmayoral race show statistically improbable gains for Karen Bass and Nithya Raman, fueling accusations of election irregularities. Jeff Bliss previews the opening of a massive, multi-story In-N-Out Burger in Las Vegas, predicting it will become a celebrity destination similar to Hollywood's historic clubs or New York's Stork Club. He also reflects on a rare 1955 invitation from Walt Disney, noting its role in establishing Disneyland's enduring cultural legacy. Richard Epstein examines the 14th Amendment's opening clause, distinguishing the robust rights of citizens from the conditional privileges of aliens. He argues that naturalization was historically a federal prerogative, noting that early statutes, influenced by Thomas Jefferson, included explicit racial exclusions for persons of African or Asiandescent. Richard Epstein disputes the "plain meaning" application to the 14th Amendment, arguing that "subject to the jurisdiction" requires natural allegiance rather than mere physical presence. Critiquing the Wong Kim Ark ruling, he suggests that children of legal permanent aliens should inherit their parents' status rather than automatic citizenship. Jim McTague reports on the cautious economic sentiment in Lancaster County, where despite falling gas prices, consumers remain budget-conscious. While tourism remains strong at venues like the Sight and Sound Theatre, local officials recently rejected a proposed data center in Columbia due to technicalities and concerns over its utility. Lorenzo Fiori provides an optimistic update on Italy's economy, noting improved employment rates across various demographics. He highlights a landmark legislative shift toward nuclear energy, with small plants planned by 2034. For travelers, he recommends San Miniato, a strategic, less-crowded Tuscan village famous for its white beans. Bob Zimmerman dismisses NASA's sheltering orders on the ISS as an overreaction to routine Russian repair work on the Zvezda module. He details SpaceX's massive IPO, which aims to raise billions, and observes that private space station firms like Axiom and Vast continue to secure significant capital despite SpaceX's market dominance. Bob Zimmerman surveys global spaceport developments, contrasting Spain's investment in French Guiana with the liquidation of the UK's Sutherland facility due to red tape. He debunks claims that the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas is an alien craft and notes that unpredictable sunspot activity continues to defy scientific models. Andrew Bayliss recounts how Pericles provoked the Peloponnesian War by steering Athens toward confrontation with Sparta. He details the Athenian strategy of retreating behind city walls and relying on naval imports, a move that tragically facilitated a devastating plague, claiming thousands of lives, including Pericleshimself. Andrew Bayliss profiles Lysander, a Spartan general of modest origins who secured crucial Persian funding to challenge Athenian naval supremacy. Lysander achieved victory not through direct combat, but by using deception to capture the Athenian fleet while the crews were uncharacteristically casual and off their ships. Andrew Bayliss explores the aftermath of Sparta's victory, noting that Lysander's immense power and ambition ultimately led to his death during a failed siege. Sparta's dominance eventually collapsed at the Battle of Leuctradue to a dwindling citizen population, reducing the once-mighty superpower to a minor village. Andrew Bayliss critiques the modern application of the "Thucydides Trap" to US-China relations, arguing that the original Peloponnesian War was not inevitable. He suggests the conflict was precipitated by specific provocations and accidental circumstances, drawing parallels to the circumstantial outbreak of the First World War. Henry Sokolski warns of China's fast breeder reactor program, which produces super weapons-grade plutonium capable of fueling efficient nuclear triggers. He also notes South Korea's growing interest in developing independent nuclear capabilities and submarines to counter threats from North Korea and China, despite international non-proliferation standards. Henry Sokolski explains the strategic significance of deploying Dual Capable Aircraft (DCA), such as the F-35, to reinforce NATO's nuclear deterrent in Europe. He observes that while Moscow and Beijing oppose these deployments, the aircraft act as vital "glue" for alliances, ensuring that American nuclear guarantees remain credible. Richard Epstein analyzes the Wong Kim Ark decision, arguing that Justice Horace Gray erroneously applied birthright citizenship to the children of ineligible aliens. He further critiques the expansion of the Equal Protection Clause in the 20th century, claiming it was originally intended for criminal matters rather than civil benefits. Richard Epstein discusses the legal complexities of a proposed executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. He highlights the rise of "manufactured citizenship" through birth tourism and predicts the Supreme Court may eventually distinguish between transient visitors and those seeking permanent residency.

Bob Zimmerman dismisses NASA's sheltering orders on the ISS as an overreaction to routine Russian repair work on the Zvezda module. He details SpaceX's massive IPO, which aims to raise billions, and observes that private space station firms like Axiom and Vast continue to secure significant capital despite SpaceX's market dominance.1939
