Why position China as an 'enemy'? How many satellite debris has NASA created from the last century? Japan joined the Chinese space station & India is a solid Russia oil importer, be reminded. QUAD is only Yankees & 🦘, 🦘 is setting on the sacrifice path by Yankees Daddy.

This would violate the international treaty regarding space neutrality.

I would have thought that a launch vehicle for replacement satellites would be a higher priority.

America used that card on China when it was getting it's GPS system up. So China removed an obsolete satellite. See we can do that too. It's about time we stopped being America's cannon fodder.

Hate to say it, but to be honest, the only real defense is to aim nukes at the opponents' cities and be prepared to use them.

This made me laugh. Be able to shoot one down before talking about soft kill hahaha

Why space agencies want a set time zone for the MoonClocks don't tick on the Moon as they do on Earth, but space agencies still want to establish a time zone there. The Earth orbits the Sun + the moon orbits Earth so just base it off Earth's UTC🤦 We aren't sharing time critical moon missions with other planets. MST, Moon Standard Time 😄 It's moon o'clock

Rolling blackouts intensify China will build 150 new nuclear reactors over 15 years. China is approving more coal fired power station, 100 plus. Albo still flogging Wind & Solar farms. IF Roof Top Solar Panels are so good, Why do they need subsidies that I pay for on my power bills? a news bulletin from ABC with no balance and incomplete reporting. More BS from their ABC.

Why Australia is legalising medicinal psychedelics - ABC RadioFifty years ago, psychedelic drugs were successfully used to treat mental illness; that is, until politicians stepped in and banned them. But soon, Australia will lead the world in legalising the use of drugs like MDMA and psilocybin, which is found in magic mushrooms, to treat patients suffering depression and PTSD. Today, a leading researcher on the incredible success of the drugs in trials, and how they work. Featured: Dr David Nutt, professor of neuropsychopharmacology, Imperial College London Because it’s a pathway to recreational psychedelics. My condition is lack of endorphins. The medical staff agreed that if MDMA were legal they would give me a small dose in the morning. I dont like the idea really. I think CBD would be the go. But in australia its very difficult to get. Little ironic given certain natural opiates have proven to be even more effective for sufferers of PTSD and especially CDPTSD.
