My Bio

I'm an actual rocket scientist (Aerospace Engineer), but when I'm not doing that I'm making maps and flags of worlds that never were and have yet to be. If you like what you see here, check out my wikia of the Second Renaissance, a sci-fi worldbuilding project I've been working on for the last few years.

This is a good bit of analysis from Zeihan about the use of drone swarm tactics in Ukraine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibja8YSWaFw

Besides atmospheric water generators and probably ice mined from asteroids, what are the ways water is gets in the future?

In your opinion and analysis, what’s the future for electric vehicles (EVs) and perhaps also fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) that use hydrogen fuel cells, or maybe even a hybrid of both that use electric batteries and hydrogen fuel cells at the same time?

I just thought this was interesting. Apparently, a white paper was released yesterday from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies that calls for the creation of the "U.S. Cyber Force" to be stood up as the seventh military branch in the Pentagon, on grounds that current cyber forces are not ideally aligned and citing how China is centralizing its cyber, space, electronic warfare, and psychological warfare capabilities and that we should do the same. The proposed branch would be tethered to the Department of the Army and granted 10,000 personnel with a $16.5 billion budget. They indicated the analysis will soon be floated to lawmakers to lobby support to launch a study.

"I want to watch the Masters...You and your cyber...are going to get me in a war — with all your cyber shit."

-Donald Trump, in an excerpt from "Fear: Trump in the White House" by Bob Woodward.

What do you suppose will happen if the Supreme Court ends up getting rid of the NLRB?

Blue states will implement their own boards, some will offer even stronger protections than the NLRB. Red States will rejoice at the fact that within their borders being in a union will be functionally illegal, meaning treatment of workers will become egregious.

I've been wondering lately, do you think at this point all that's left to light the fuse for Russia is Putin's death? Because while I still believe the country is on borrowed time, I can no longer think of anything else that will bring it down like you predict.

I have a simple space-related question. In the future, is the suitport concept, in tandem with the current NASA’s rear-entry moon and Mars suits, use when exploring the surfaces of the moon, Mars, and other planets and moons?
