#Amazon said it had established communications with all of the satellites, and the sequence of turning them on was “proceeding as planned.” The #FCC’s approval of the constellation came with a requirement that at least half 📊 the #satellites needed to be deployed by 📆 July 30, 2026. Industry analysts say the company could get an extension if it has demonstrated substantial progress by then nytimes.com/2025/04/28/science

An Atlas V rocket earlier this month when United Launch Alliance scrubbed the first flight of 27 Amazon Project Kuiper satellites because of poor weather.

I am old enough to have lived through the transition of "think tanks" from groups of smart people trying to come up with creative solutions to intractable problems to their present version as groups of rich arseholes trying to sway public opinions.

Launch prices for #NASA missions soared 📈 after the late 2000s, following the creation of #ULA through a merger of the #Atlas and #Delta rocket programs developed by #LockheedMartin and #Boeing. The merger eliminated 🚫 #competition for most of NASA's launch contracts until #SpaceX's #Falcon9 became available arstechnica.com/space/2025/04/

From 'The Sunday Shot';
'Last weekend’s Sunday Shot should scare the living daylights out of you.
Turns out when Hillary Clinton said there was a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy at work, she was 100% right. Lucy Hamilton took us through the Atlas Network, an extraordinary clandestine web of organisations established and lavishly funded by the likes of the Koch Brothers for the sole purpose of deceiving citizens and enabling corporate interests to endlessly increase profits at everyone else’s expense. Including the planet’s.

Along the way, Atlas coopts extremist ideological warriors to be their foot soldiers, unconcerned about enabling fanatical White supremacist, Christo-fascist agendas if it allows them to make a few more dollars.

It's terrifying stuff. And its tentacles reach deep into the Australian political and corporate right-wing elite, with Advance merely the tip of the iceberg.

Trans Justice Project’s Jackie Turner reminds us there are human consequences to the culture wars these people launch to distract citizens from their grift. Anthony Klan joins the dots on the handful of wealthy Australians masquerading as democracy’s grassroots who defeated the Voice and are fighting to derail our transition to renewable energy.

And now they’re buying TV licenses.'

@ 6 mins Lucy Hamilton speaks about Atlas.

Well, lookie there: the #ATLAS experiment that I worked on from 2009-2022 won a share in this year's #BreakthroughPrize! Congratulations to all my colleagues who remain active on the experiment!

I am proud of my contributions to the measurement of the Highs boson's quantum numbers in 2013 and the first direct observation of its interaction with the bottom quark in 2018.

I am even prouder of my pivot to #UndergroundScience and all the discoveries yet to be made.

irina 🐇🌷:eggbug:

if you're the kind of Australian who's interested in having a physical street atlas for the current year - be warned, UBD Gregory's is shutting down.

Rumor is Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth will get one more edition in August[?], but for everywhere else (seemingly including Melbourne and Tasmania), what's on shelves is probably the final edition.

now please excuse me while i tag spam
