their delicate stealth coating is not particularly especially of the warm, salty sea air

Four decades and they've still got problems with the stealth coating

More food, more weapons, more men, more horses, bigger house, bigger fortifications etc

There is at least the idea that one could eventually have enough material needs met to relax - the profit motive has no limit

Musk no, the other thing!

probably their most inexcusable geopolitical offence

Supporting Islamists to own the Soviets in Afghanistan was pretty bad

wow almost half a single percent of China's annual national income

Fortunately the US system of government is weird and the executive branch doesn't set the budget. This is a proposal to Congress so time will tell whether it happens.

Incredibly damaging to make deep cuts that wouldn't even allow an agency to mothball assets and keep on the best staff.

Is there any evidence of educational benefit? I don't think there is (still put it on though)

in 2023 the total healthcare cost in China was 1,249,253,919,000.00 USD compare that to around 11-14 billion in Cuba.

This is the same amount per person.

I think you've defaulted to defensiveness because AES are often attacked by leftcoms but that's not necessary here

Yeah it should be a lot fucking easier to do as China than Cuba, they can barely import enough fuel to keep the lights on

I reread the article, I reckon it's about satellites in general deorbiting faster to avoid a Kessler syndrome scenario

Sean Elvidge at the University of Birmingham, UK, says this effect could benefit satellite operators like SpaceX by removing dead satellites from orbit more quickly that could otherwise pose a danger to other satellites. “It’s speeding up that process,” he says. However, it could limit our ability to operate satellites in orbits below 400 kilometres, known as very low Earth orbit. “It shows that could be challenging,” he says.
