SpaceX’s Starship returned to Earth and was captured by the Claw. It launched more satellites when it was in orbit.

The booster rocket wasn’t captured this time, but others have.

Musk has built a fully recyclable rocket and spaceship.

SpaceX is launching rockets and satellites all the time. The ChiComs aren’t. Neither is Bezos.

My prediction is that Jensen Huang is hired by SpaceX. Given that he was the founder of Nivida, I bet he doesn’t have a covenant not to compete.

No Disclosed Separation Agreement. Nvidia's November 12, 2026 Form 8-K filing confirming Huang's resignation did not include or disclose any separation agreement, cooling-off period, or post-exit restrictive covenants.

You can't make a Tomlette without breaking some Greggs as they say. Space is hard, so hopefully the next attempt is more successful.

Starship video showed the method of deploying the 26 2 ton satellites was done like a pez dispenser. Very cool leverage of a classic American favorite candy. Who needs innovation when you have a pez dispenser nearby?

Trump and Hegseth still don't seem to have a clue as to how to win this war. I appreciate the inherent difficulties, but I don't appreciate the dishonesty and incompetence of the Administration.

Trump spent his first term warning that China was taking advantage of the U.S and threatening American technological leadership. Now, his administration is making decisions that appear to accommodate Chinese access to the technology he once argued needed to be protected.

His actions seem to contrast with his stance on China during his first term. What makes the details of this article especially troubling is the apparent willingness of the Trump administration to leave loopholes open that allowed China access to the very advanced AI chips the United States was trying to keep out of its hands.

The administration revoked restrictions on overseas data centers in May 2025, yet 18 months later, replacement safeguards still haven't been implemented. Meanwhile, Jensen Huang lobbied Trump to preserve access to the Chinese market, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick advocated for a lighter approach to chip exports.

Are these decisions affecting America's technological advantage and national security being made in America's best interests? Trump's close relationships with business executives like Jensen Huang, along with his family's extensive foreign business interests, raise serious questions about whose interests are driving these decisions. And how would we know whether large amounts of money are flowing through cryptocurrency ventures into companies associated with Trump and his family, for the purpose of advancing Chinese interests?

Incoming Democrats, take note.

Mutaman needs to answer my objection here: link. If it's true that the Secretary of State and National Security Advisor is not permitted to travel commercial, several of his comments on that thread are refuted.

As for 'my guy' being Donald Trump, I much prefer him to the alternatives presented, but I do not in fact follow any Trumpist party line. I've posted hundreds of comments here over the few years vehemently disagreeing with Trump's policy on Ukraine. Perhaps Mutaman should have been paying more attention.

Finally, unlike some of our more voluble commenters, I write all my own comments with no help from AI, much less talking points provided by a paymaster.

So The Chosen released the first episode of their new season yesterday afternoon on YouTube, as part of a livestream with the show runner Dallas Jenkins. Some thoughts:

After the ep itself, Dallas showed a conversation he had with Jonathan Roomie, the guy who plays JC. Every season, Jonathan grows his own hair and beard, and after each season is shot, he cuts at least some of it. Also, he is really a New York artsy guy, and dresses like one, even though he is also a devout RC. So in the interview, he looked like Frank Zappa! Wavy hair cut a bit below his ear, big bandido 'stache, soul patch, leather jacket, black T-shirt. And of course he drops the Middle Eastern accent and formal usage from playing JC. Pretty hilarious. And it also means he doesn't have to worry about being typecast.

As for the episode itself:

- Still not convinced by the silver angels. There are more of them than the 3 in the trailer, including a literal army marching in the area outside the Garden of Gethsemane. Later in the ep, angels stand guard outside Lazarus's house where the 11 disciples are strategizing, and walk with the women on their way to watch the Passion - all invisible to any humans. During the livestream, Dallas countered the argument about the angels not being down with the Father's plan: we don't know what the angels knew and when they knew it. I would also add that angels, like humans, have free will, so just like the humans who are running around each with his own reaction to Jesus's arrest, the angels could be doing the same thing. But never mind the doctrinal part: the angels are just cheesy. Silver-painted buff people in vaguely ancient armor. Big departure from the show's light touch on matters supernatural. For instance, last season, in the scene where JC calls upon the Father to glorify his name and there's a voice from heaven that only some people understand, the sound people did a great job of dubbing in a rumbling with a vague voice woven through: depending on your hearing and the specific settings of your audio, you might hear all, some, or none of the words.

(continued)

Sorry, addendum: after the Ego Eimi, two disciples have non-biblical reactions: Nathaniel says “Do it again!” to urge JC to divine-blast his way out of this. Judas’s eyes light up and he says something like ‘Rabbi, you could have done this before!’ This supports the theory that Judas was trying to force JC into a confrontation that would make him unmask and start the messianic-warrior eschatological battle. Of course, neither student understands what is really happening.

I also liked the FX decision to turn on the wind machine. YHWH was the near eastern storm god before the Hebrews adopted his traditions for the one God. Anytime JC is controlling the weather he is making a visceral statement about his divinity. The air blast is non-biblical but consistent with the Bible. CC, JSM
