Continued thread

#Trump ally #ElonMusk's #rocket & #satellite company #SpaceX has emerged as a frontrunner alongside #software firm #Palantir & #drone maker #Anduril to build key components of the system, Reuters reported last month.

Many of the early systems are expected to come from existing production lines. Attendees at the WhiteHouse presser w/Trump on Tues named #L3Harris, #LockheedMartin & #RTXCorp as potential contractors for the massive project.

#Trump's South African-born adviser [& fellow #WhiteSupremacist] #ElonMusk has also been highly critical of #SouthAfrica's govt. He has slammed the country's affirmative action laws, which he says prevent his #Starlink #satellite company from entering the market🎻. On Tues, reports suggested that #Ramaphosa might offer the #Tesla billionaire some kind of deal ahead of his White House meeting [don’t do it!].

[I wonder if anybody from FEMA has compiled use case / effectiveness / robustness on/of the #WaffleHouseIndex in the southern USA, especially related to hurricanes?]

I Do Declare Tomorrow, May 10th 2025 As
"The Sky Is Falling" Day !!!

Because it is very likely that the Cosmos 482 (formerly known as Venera 4V-1 No. 671) will come crashing down on Earth, somewhere.

[BTW. It's a titanium alloy sphere, powered by a nuclear battery, which weights 1,091 lbs and is highly likely to reach the surface of Earth in one piece as it was designed to withstand 300 g of acceleration and 100 atmospheres of pressure.]

#Musk 1st announced his intention to build #space-based #internet, which he would eventually call #Starlink, in 2015. He had plans to settle #Mars, …the moons of #Jupiter, & maybe #asteroids too. All those space colonies would have to be connected via #satellite-based communication; Starlink itself might…be adapted for this use. Indeed, Starlink’s terms…ask customers to affirm they “recognize Mars as a free planet & that no Earth-based govt has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities.”
