The February 1990 What Now claims to be a "Low-Venom Edition," then lashes out at Combos and Child's Play for no good reason on the very same page, so we're not sure what to believe. (We aren't going to "bail" on it, though we now know that's a slang term we could use if we did!) After we learn about Alyssa Milano's Japanese pop album, illicit Norwegian skateboard imports, and so much more, it's on to Watch It, where Courage Mountain (a Heidi take with Charlie Sheen, of all people) and The War Of The Roses get surprisingly good reviews, and Steel Magnolias gets one that's surprisingly mid?! Neill renews his Australian passport with a rave about Max Q, the self-titled Michael Hutchence side project début; we play you some so that you know Neill is wrong, as usual. One To Watch notches another one for the W column, and then Mike makes up a person who hates rap, gets mad at them, and tries to get them on board by profiling four positive artists. Which one sideswipes Public Enemy? The answer may surprise you! Listen and enjoy! QUICK LINKS

Elon Musk's SpaceX launched the first-ever integrated Starship rocket on April 20, 2023, from the Starbase facility at Boca Chica Beach in South Texas. Boca Chica Village, a remote Texas outpost, lies at the confluence of the Rio Grande and the Gulf of Mexico, where the Earths glory coexists with the awe-inspiring silhouettes of SpaceX's Starship rockets, symbolizing the union of natures beauty and human ambition.Year Of The Opposite - Travis Stoliker's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Boca Chica has fewer than 50 residents and before SpaceX arrived the site didn't have electricity, water, or sewer.  5 years ago some of  the smartest engineers from all over the world converged on the small desert strip motivated by a singular gargantuan mission: Make humanity a multi planetary species. These engineers moved to the middle of nowhere and many of them lived in trailers because they were so motivated by their mission. The 394-foot-tall Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built, lifted off successfully and flew for about 4 minutes. For comparison, Lansing's tallest building, the Boji Tower, reaches a height of 297 feet. In contrast, the complete Starship system, including the Super Heavy booster, stands approximately 394 feet tall, making it around 100 feet taller than Lansing's highest structure. Starship Passed Max Q. Passing Max Q is a very important milestone. Max Q, short for maximum dynamic pressure, is the point during a rocket's ascent when it experiences the greatest aerodynamic stress. It occurs when the combination of the rocket's velocity and the density of the Earth's atmosphere results in the highest pressure on the rocket's structure. This is a critical moment in the flight, as the rocket has to be designed to withstand the structural load it experiences at Max Q. Once the rocket passes through Max Q, the air pressure decreases as it climbs higher, reducing the stress on the vehicle.However, the Starship upper stage failed to separate from the Super Heavy first stage about three minutes after liftoff, resulting in an explosion just under four minutes into the launch. This destruction was intentional, as the vehicle experienced multiple engine failures during the flight test and lost altitude. Despite the explosion, SpaceX celebrated the progress made during the test, as the rocket reached a maximum altitude of about 24 miles and passed Max Q. An Aside: What is “Rocket Stage?” Why does it separate? Imagine you want to launch a rocket into space. The rocket is made up of different parts, and each part has a special job to do to help the rocket reach its destination.The different parts of a rocket are called "stages." Each stage is like a piece of the rocket that is designed to work at a different time during the launch. When the rocket takes off, it needs a lot of power to overcome the force of gravity and lift off the ground. The first stage of the rocket is usually the largest and has the most powerful engines. These engines use a lot of fuel to provide the initial thrust needed to lift the rocket off the ground.As the rocket climbs higher into the sky, it starts to move faster and faster. At a certain point, the first stage of the rocket has used up all its fuel and can no longer provide enough power to lift the rocket any higher. That's when the first stage separates from the rest of the rocket.After the first stage separates, the second stage takes over. The second stage has its own engines and fuel supply. It's designed to work at higher altitudes and with less air resistance than the first stage. The second stage continues to push the rocket higher and higher until it reaches its destination.The reason why the stages separate is to make the rocket lighter and more efficient. Once a stage has used up all its fuel, it becomes dead weight that the rest of the rocket has to carry. By separating the used-up stage, the rest of the rocket becomes lighter and can move more efficiently through space.What may have caused the failure? During the launch, 'car-sized' chunks of concrete from the launchpad were thrown around as a result of the intense force generated by the rocket's 31 engines. It is speculated that these flying concrete debris may have impacted and damaged some of the engines, leading to the failure of six engines. This damage could have affected the engine gimbaling and control, ultimately causing the Starship to spiral out of control and fail the scheduled stage separation.Here are some important points about Starship: * When perfected, Starship will be the world's largest rocket, capable of carrying passengers to the Moon and Mars, as well as taking 100 people on long-duration, interplanetary flights. The cargo area in Starship is so huge, the entire international space station can fit inside the interior of Starship! * Starship is designed to be cost-effective, potentially delivering 100 tons of cargo to any planet in the solar system for as little as $50 million.  * The SpaceX Starship is expected to significantly reduce the cost of delivering cargo to orbit compared to current methods. With the ability to deliver 100 metric tons of cargo to orbit for a variable cost of only $2 million, Starship is expected to offer an improvement of approximately 44 times (or 1.64 orders of magnitude) in cost per metric ton when compared to the current cost of about $15 million for 17 metric tons. This breakthrough in cost efficiency will greatly impact the accessibility and affordability of space missions and payloads in the future.* Unlike the Space Shuttle, Starship will be reusable, leading to rapid turnaround and relaunch cycles. This could significantly reduce launch costs and enable daily launches.* With reduced costs and the ability to carry heavy loads, Starship will make space exploration and colonization more financially sustainable and accessible. It could lead to space tourism and more opportunities for scientific experiments.* The ability to launch tens of thousands of satellites into space at minimal cost will revolutionize communications and Earth observation, leading to improved weather prediction, crop monitoring, earthquake prediction, air traffic control, and navigation aids.* While many of these ambitions are still years away, the development and testing of Starship will contribute to significant scientific advances and change the paradigm for NASA science and human exploration of space.Many people may not realize that today's explosion is not a failure, but rather an essential step in the rocket development process. The event provides valuable data that can be used to enhance the rocket's performance. Designing a rocket like Starship involves an iterative process where each iteration is built upon the lessons learned from the previous one. For example, the 31 engines utilized in Starship were produced in just 1 year. They have already undergone over 1,000 individual improvements within just a year. With the data from this liftoff, they will be able to make further improvements to improve the reliability and lower the cost of each rocket. This is the beauty of the iterative approach to building rockets. 1,000 Flowers Will BloomThe advancements by SpaceX will lead to inventions and industries that we could never have anticipated.  Let's remember all the inventions from the space race. The space race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the mid-20th century spurred a wealth of unforeseen technological advancements that have since transformed everyday life. Satellite communication systems revolutionized global communications, paving the way for technologies like GPS and satellite TV. Innovations in digital imaging, such as the charge-coupled device (CCD), accelerated the development of digital cameras, which have become ubiquitous in consumer devices. Memory foam, initially created for aircraft seat safety, now provides comfort in mattresses and pillows, while cordless tools, born from a collaboration between NASA and Black & Decker, have become essential in households and industries. Scratch-resistant lenses, derived from astronaut helmet visor coatings, have improved eyewear durability, and water filtration systems, designed for space missions, have enhanced drinking water quality and filtration efficiency. Lastly, the space race fueled advancements in solar cell technology, driving greater efficiency and affordability that underpin the growing adoption of solar power in various applications.What Are the Near Term Possibilities for This Technology? While Starship is primarily designed for space travel, its potential applications could have a significant impact on human travel on Earth. One such concept proposed by SpaceX is Earth-to-Earth transportation using Starship, which could revolutionize long-distance flights. For example, a flight from New York to Shanghai, which currently takes around 15-16 hours on a traditional commercial airplane, could be completed in under an hour using Starship.This dramatic reduction in travel time could transform global travel, making it easier and more efficient for people to conduct business, visit family, or explore new places. By utilizing point-to-point rocket travel, Starship has the potential to revolutionize the aviation industry and redefine the way we think about long-distance transportation.Starlink: Fast Satellite Internet EverywhereCurrently SpaceX can release about 60 satellites per space flight. But with Starship, they could be able to launch 600+ satellites at a time.  The FCC has already cleared them to release 12,000 satellites. This means that they could release all the satellites in a few dozen space missions and give everyone on the planet access to high speed internet.  Right now high speed internet is primarily only available in densely populated areas.  This could dramatically increase access to the internet around the world. I think 4/20/2023 will be looked back upon in history as an important date for humans and space travel. It could be the date that we look back and credit with the start of our species becoming multi-planetary.  It's an incredible accomplishment for America. It's an incredible accomplishment for humanity.  Another Sad Day For the MediaBut sadly, you wouldn't know how amazing this accomplishment was if you were paying attention to many news sources.  I'm on a news diet as a part of my Year Of The Opposite, but The All In Podcast and my buddy Drew mentioned that the vast majority of major news outlets talked about the space launch as a failure. So I had to check for myself. I was disappointed with what I found. Many in the news used the explosion as a chance to dunk on Elon and SpaceX.  It was sad, but unfortunately, not unexpected anymore.  The issue I found disheartening was the number of people who relied on the news for information. Many individuals, particularly children, believed that they were being educated by consuming news content. However, they were unwittingly being misled. The media's portrayal of this event as a failure deprived an entire generation of the pride and enthusiasm that this truly remarkable achievement deserved. It was, indeed, a monumental accomplishment for America and a day for every American to feel immense pride.The launch of Starship serves as a Rorschach test. If one based their understanding on the news stories surrounding the event, they would perceive it as an utter failure and a colossal waste of time. Conversely, if one actually witnessed the launch, they would be filled with a sense of American pride, as well as an intense excitement and optimism for the future.It often seems as though our nation is more divided and polarized than it has been in the past. While it is unclear whether this perception is accurate, the sentiment is undoubtedly pervasive. The SpaceX launch represented an opportunity for unity, a moment for us to come together and celebrate a truly remarkable achievement for humankind and America. I'm reminded of one of my favorite quotes from Denzel Washington:  “If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do read it, you're misinformed.”Choose your information sources wisely.  It could be the most important factor in your wellbeing. In my next post I plan to talk about what I call my “News Diet” that I started about a year ago. It was one of my first challenges in the Year Of The Opposite. I had the realization that I had become a news and politics addict. I vowed to try my best to avoid the news and politics. Everyday I rate myself on the metric: “Avoid Politics & News: Focus on what I can control.” Next week I will talk about how I did it and how successful I was. (Spoiler alert: it's SUPER hard to avoid news and politics.) Year Of The Opposite - Travis Stoliker's Substack is a reader-supported publication.

When he was a senior Pentagon official, Charles (or Chuck) Beames and his fellow military planners would speak forebodingly about “a day without space.” The nightmare scenario would involve a wide-ranging attack, kinetic or otherwise, on space systems, which could produce cascading communications and navigation failures for the armed forces (and wreak havoc on civilian technology systems as well). While that scenario hopefully never comes to pass, space is no longer a sanctuary nor uncontested higher ground. And securing civil, commercial, and military spacecraft is the order of the day. Today's episode is brought to you by Kepler Communications, a company bringing the internet to space.

Among other things, Chuck is the executive chairman of SpiderOak, a startup focused on shoring up the digital defenses of satellites, space networks, and the ground segment. The company recently raised a $16.4M Series C to develop, test, and fly OrbitSecure 2.0. SpiderOak employs two novel security approaches—zero-trust encryption and distributed ledger technology (DLT)—to secure space assets, along with the creation, communication, and management of data. OrbitSecure wraps up the company's design philosophy and latest defensive techniques into one offering. The product securely compartmentalizes data for complex, interconnected space infrastructure. That's important, per SpiderOak, because “today, the horizontal integration of ground stations, spacecraft, and payloads means you're trusting third parties with mission-critical data.” Rest of the resume: Chuck is also the executive chairman of York Space Systems, a satellite manufacturer, and cofounder/chairman of the SmallSat alliance. In a past life, Chuck held executive positions in the Pentagon and served as the president of Vulcan Aerospace, where he oversaw $1B of AUM invested in space and tech initiatives and directed the Stratolaunch project. In one of his government posts, Chuck oversaw a $90B annual acquisition budget mostly focused on remote sensing, space-based communications, and orbital launch services. Lastly, Chuck served 23 years on active duty as an Air Force space and intelligence officer, and retired as a colonel. • Chapters •02:30 Chuck joins show 03:18 SpiderOak mission + raise 07:29 Waking up to cyber threat from peer/near-peer adversaries 09:14 Thoughts on the Chinese spy balloon? 12:10 Balance of offensive vs. defensive capabilities on orbit 15:44 Cybersecurity and the gray zone 17:22 Vulnerabilities of space systems 19:37 Should space have its own critical infrastructure designation? 21:12 A day wthout space 27:15 SpiderOak using COTS 32:09 The zero trust security framework 37:10 What's unique about cybersecurity in space (vis-a-vis terrestrial applications) 45:36 Max Q 49:01 Staying focused while dealing with diverse mission needs across military, commercial, and civil space 53:24 Chuck's hobby • Show notes •Chuck's Twitter — https://twitter.com/ChuckBeamesBio — https://spideroak.com/executive-chairman/Recent TV appearance — https://video.foxbusiness.com/v/6319232902112#sp=show-clipsOrbitSecure — https://spideroak.com/orbitsecure/Ryan's socials — https://twitter.com/Ryandoofy / https://www.linkedin.com/in/rfduffy/Payload's socials — https://twitter.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspacePathfinder archive — Watch: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_uY3GaNf67hP-i6TRWF2n06xMv1kdkZ6Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/episodes

Wat kun je vandaag verwachten in deze editie van EvdWL? We bespreken het bod dat Amazon de afgelopen week uitbracht op de Tomb Raider franchise. Dat was namelijk nog een al een hap geld. We kijken naar het excuus van Phil Spencer over het aanbod aan exclusieve games voor de Xbox in 2022. En we bespreken ook de berichten rond de aankomende E3. Die zijn niet positief. Wordt het nog wel wat dit jaar? Dit en meer is te zien en te horen in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 3 februari 2023. 'Amazon heeft 600 miljoen dollar over voor Tomb Raider' Naar verluidt heeft Amazon 600 miljoen dollar over voor de rechten op de Tomb Raider franchise. Dat is een hoop geld en logisch dus dat we ons de vraag stellen of Lara het bedrag wel waard is? En wat vinden we van het feit dat Redfall altijd online moet blijven ook als je de game in de singleplayer mode speelt? En is het positief dat Wolverine mature rated wordt? Dit en veel meer topics komen aan bod in deze editie van EvdWL.

MSI heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en zien de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site. Geen sneeuw, geen harde wind, geen regen. We kunnen dus gewoon in de winterjas naar de studio om een nieuwe editie van onze vaste talkshow op vrijdag op te nemen. Klokslag 17:00 uur staat hij bij jou op het beeldscherm. Ben je in één klap bij als het gaat om het meest belangrijke game-gelateerde nieuws van de afgelopen week. Wat kun je vandaag verwachten in deze editie van EvdWL? We kijken natuurlijk terug op de Xbox Developer Direct van afgelopen woensdag. In veertig minuten tijd leerden we meer van Minecraft Legends, Forza Motorsport 8, Hi-Fi Rush, The Elders Scrolls Online: Necrom en Redfall. Welke games vonden Koos en Huey tof en is Xbox nu helemaal terug als producent van grote exclusieve games? Ook kijken we naar de previews van Hogwarts Legacy, het mogelijke einde van de Uncharted-franchise en vele andere onderwerpen. Dit alles te zien en te horen in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 27 januari 2023. Is het einde verhaal voor de Uncharted-serie? Er valt nog echter veel meer te bespreken. Is Sony bijvoorbeeld nu al bezig met de PS6, terwijl normaliter een PS5 Pro op de markt zou moeten komen? Veranderen ze dus van strategie en zo ja waarom? Hoe moet het met 343 Studios verder na de fikse ontslagen bij de developer? Kunnen ze nog wel aan het roer staan van de Halo-franchise? Dit en veel meer topics komen voorbij in deze editie van EvdWL.
