South Korea Unveils Hyunmoo-5 World’s Most Powerful Ballistic Missile Capable of Destroying Fortified Targets South Korea Unveils Hyunmoo-5 World’s Most Powerful Ballistic Missile Capable of Destroying Fortified Targets

Die Hyunmoo-5 ist eine echte konventionelle Abschreckungswaffe. Sollten wir uns zulegen.

The Aides Keeping the President in the Dark Donald Trump’s advisers are treating him like he can’t handle the reality of the war in Iran. They might be right—but that fact is a danger to the constitutional order.

Reason no. 4823 why the presidential system of government is a bad idea.

Sounds like an offer too good to refuse.

Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

For us, Zoom works well. The trick is to have everyone, including on-stage speakers, present in Zoom and to project the Zoom window onto the big screen. Is that an option for you?

"On March 12, 2020, the show suspended production due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Beginning March 30, 2020, the show was produced from Colbert's home, billed as A Late Show with Stephen Colbert (or A Late Show with Stephen at Home).[28][29] From August 10, Colbert presented the program from a smaller set within the building's office tower, built as a replica of his own personal office seen on A Late Show with Stephen Colbert, without a studio audience."

Well, Colbert has experience with setting up a show at his home, so ... 😉

#ArtemisII was a wonderful mission. But we should remember that the projects from which we gained the most knowledge were robotic: the Voyagers, Cassini/Huygens, Juno, Rosetta, the Mars rovers, Hubble, Planck, Chandra, ...

The Artemis II mission has ended. Where does NASA go from here? The work ahead is greater than the work behind us."

"For NASA, for its international partners, and for all of humanity the successful conclusion of the Artemis II mission marked a return to deep space by our species after more than half a century."

Well, not really. Our robotic spacecraft have been all over the solar system since the 1960s.

That's why I wished all of NATO's eastern border looked like this.

So, where do USA vs. Vietnam (1965–1973) and USSR vs. Afghanistan (1979–1989) fit the picture? 🤔

The catch is, as with practically all "healthy food", that you need to squint at a certain way at very carefully selected data and interpretations to make it look beneficial.

The moment you look for evidence for actual health benefits under realistic conditions it all turns into marketing smoke.

Today's calculation: how long does a satellite in a circular orbit stay up when it stops all reboost burns? Depends on a lot of things, especially solar activity, but let's average over all of that and do a Kaplan-Meier analysis in 50 km height bins on 69 years of actual data.

Title: Hunting for Easter eggs with Werner Herzog Panel one: Werner goes out looking for eggs saying “I despise this idiotic sanitized ritual, and yet I am unwilling to return home eggless” Panel two: Werner stands before an egg on the ground “The joy of discovery rings hollow against the monumental indifference of the universe” Panel three: Werner carries an egg “what, other than regret, can hatch from this empty chocolate vessel”

Happy Easter!
