When Space Junk Fell on My Neighbor’s Farm, the Law Had Few Answers for Us
A Saskatchewan farmer’s near miss with potentially lethal debris falling from orbit highlights the skyrocketing risks and murky politics of space junk
I found it interesting also to read this account of a Saskatchewan farmer who found SpaceX debris on his land, and what it says about how little responsibility they seem to have to take for their debris and how little transparency there seems to be www.scientificamerican.com/article/spac...

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

Shoutout to my grandma, who gave my grandpa the exact same Valentine’s Day card every year for decades. He’d read it, or convincingly pretend to, like it was brand new. She’d smile, take it back, and put it in the drawer for next year. Recycling. Romance. Ruthless efficiency. RIP, lovers.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

And, now you know why we attacked Venezuela. I mean we always know every conflict is about oil, but this clears things up nicely, don’t you think?
