- Blue Origin and the fast-food chain Shaq’s Big Chicken sign deal
When you read what this deal really entails, you will laugh. It is typical of the kind of engineering achievements we have come to expect from Blue Origin: Empty PR campaigns having nothing to do with actually building something that will fly in space.
- An update on the Epsilon F6 failure last October.
The release at the link is entirely in Japanese. According to Jay, “As of February 3 JAXA has now narrowed the cause of the RCS [reaction control system] failure to blockage of the diaphragm at the helium tank outlet.”
- Russian official claims his design bureau (part of Roscosmos) is beginning research on a single-stage-to-orbit rocket
The picture at the link is hilariously pure science fiction. This ain’t happening, ever.
No blacklist column today. Been too busy with personal matters.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Shaq’s Big Chicken…
“He’s everywhere , he’s everywhere!”

Single stage to orbit looks like a reentry body (RB)
Blue Origin is devolving from disappointing to comical.
Here’s a potential blacklisting of “conservatives” for chartering a bus to trumps rally on January 6.
https://headlineusa.com/whistleblower-fbi-tried-to-target-140-j6-rally-goers-for-taking-bus/
“FBI’s Washington office pressured agents in Boston to open a criminal investigation into 140 people because they rode a bus to the January 6th rally”
“absence of criminal suspicion did not stop the FBI from accessing private information without warrants, Hill testified to the House Judiciary Committee.”
“Hill said the FBI sifted through banking records of Americans who had never been accused of a crime to determine if they owned a firearm or had traveled to D.C. on Jan. 6.“
The latest “project veritas” has had over 30 million views… And yet you have not heard it on any main stream media nor can you see it by googling it.
Three videos in this article, the first is Tucker Carlson who gives a play-by-play. The second is the “confrontation” with the executive guy telling him ”he’s been recorded” by secret camera and the guy literally has a meltdown. (Not the actions of somebody who was just trying to impress the date) Third video is the analysis of the video (with backstory about the executive) by two famous doctors.
Pfizer has been committing a crime against humanity creating a biological weapon that could kill everyone.
It’s not “gain of function”… It’s “enhanced evolution”!

Zimmerman commented about Jeff Bezos rocket company;
“When you read what this deal really entails, you will laugh. It is typical of the kind of engineering achievements we have come to expect from Blue Origin: Empty PR campaigns having nothing to do with actually building something that will fly in space”
Drama and posting of high expectations over actual capabilities… All hat and no horse.
Ever since he stepped down as CEO, he’s been maneuvering his other businesses for maximum profit in the “public private partnership”. (why worry about putting satellites in space, when you control all the information that passes through those satellites… For a large fee of course)
He thinks of himself as “The emperor of intelligence” providing host services for all the “17 intelligence agencies in addition to its $600 million deal (now worth tens of billions) with the CIA.
“Amazon Web Services also does business with NASA, the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most recently, the Obama Administration tapped AWS to host portions of HealthCare.gov. off his cloud computing format hosted by Amazon.”
(what could go wrong? Their AI has everything under control)
This article is very old, much has happened since then including the marriage between the health department and the military under operation “warp speed”, The control of voting, banking, prescription health, face recognition information and “tracking” associated with the “clot shot” and the “prevention of accurate information” (fact checking) coming from the “vaccine event reporting center” (VERS) and other reporting agencies of the dangers associated with COVID vaccine/DNA genetic manipulation shot. The black listing of prominent doctors as well as liaison between FBI and social media in controlling who gets canceled or shadow banned…
I should also mention the permitted access by the “five eyes” (which would never think of selling the information to hurt the USA)
(It kind of makes the semi truck load a secret documents that they found at Biden’s, and the three truckloads of secret documents held and shredded by the Clintons, or a warehouse full of secret documents held by Obama is small in comparison…)
My search engine won’t give me any information about recent allegations that “Jeff Bezos has been using FBI and other agencies for his own personal goon squad”.
What was once “public”, is now “private” with his other billionaire partnerships. (ask yourself, how many new billionaires were created when nothing was moving? In a recession?) An oligarch in every sense of the word.

As for rings around nearby worlds, the idiots in charge are actually promoting saturating Lagrange Point 1, between the sun and earth, with lunar material to prevent photosynthesis on earth so the world (with everyone on it) will starve in a new Ice Age!
https://www.ksl.com/article/50575870/space-dust-could-offset-climate-change-impact-research-says
(as proof of concept, look how well billions of tons of ice makes Saturn’s temperature so low that it emits 2.5 times Times more energy than it receives from the sun… sarcasm, but true)
Of course, anyone living in space would be dead from meteor impacts from this endeavor, as well as all satellites, and space travel will be prohibitive for hundreds of years…
I hope Elon‘s Martian base will be established before climate cult of extremism destroys everything.
A dark age both literally and figuratively…
