Adidas Jabulani: The World Cup Football So Bad NASA Decided To Study It

July 15, 2025

If you're old enough to remember the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, you will likely remember the controversy that year surrounding the official ball of the tournament.

Developed by Adidas, the Jabulani ("be happy" or "to celebrate" in Zulu) was supposed to be an improvement on the 2006 ball, using new methods.

"The newly-developed 'Grip’n’Groove' profile provides the best players in the world with a ball allowing an exceptionally stable flight and perfect grip under all conditions," Loughborough University, who helped develop the ball, explained in a statement ahead of the World Cup.

"Comprising only eight, completely new, thermally bonded 3-D panels, which for the first time are spherically moulded, the ball is perfectly round and even more accurate than ever before."

While initial testing by football players yielded acceptable results, when it came to the World Cup the ball was highly controversial. It would swerve in the air unpredictably, and was not well liked by strikers or goalkeepers of the tournament.

“It’s terrible, horrible,” Brazil’s Julio Cesar complained at the time. “It’s like one of those balls you buy in the supermarket.”

"It's very weird," Brazil striker Luis Fabiano added. "All of a sudden it changes trajectory on you. It's like it doesn't want to be kicked. It's incredible, it's like someone is guiding it.

You are going to kick it and it moves out of the way. I think it's supernatural, it's very bad. I hope to adapt to it as soon as possible, but it's going to be hard."

Not everybody was displeased with it, with some enjoying the unpredictability it brought to the game.

"They're doing anything but staying in my gloves," England goalkeeper Joe Hart said. "It's hard work with them, but good fun.

It makes the game exciting and I think that's what they are trying to do with it."

"The ball is dreadful," fellow England goalkeeper David James added. "It's horrible, but it's horrible for everyone."

So, why exactly was it so unpredictable in the air? Fortunately, US space agency NASA stepped in to investigate.

NASA scientists at the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at NASA’s Ames Research Center subjected the ball to a number of laboratory tests including wind tunnels, ahead of discussion of aerodynamics with an audience of students.

"It's quite obvious. You're seeing a knuckle-ball effect," Rabi Mehta, an aerospace engineer at NASA Ames, explained in a statement.

When a smooth ball like the Jabulani flies through the air without much spin on it, the air close its surface is affected by the ball's seams, producing an asymmetric flow, which in turn produces the unpredictable swerves and swoops.

Through testing, Mehta believes that the knuckle-ball effect kicked in at around 72–80 kilometers per hour (45 to 50 miles per hour), which wasn't ideal given that that is roughly the speed the ball moves at during a free kick near the goal.

Older balls are less smooth than they are today, making them less inclined to knuckle.

“The newer balls have a smoother surface. In the past, the soccer ball had a rougher surface, making the knuckling speed about 30 mph [48 kilometers per hour]," Mehta added. "Today, the ball starts to knuckle, or go wobbly, at a speed of 45 – 50 mph.”

So at higher speeds, the ball started to act unpredictably. Making it more complicated still, a lot of the 2010 World Cup games were played at high altitude.

The density of air is lower at higher elevations, meaning that there is less drag acting on it, while there is also less lift, meaning it is less likely to swerve. But wind is another factor altering play.

“It’s relative speed that matters,” Mehta added. “If you have a 20 mph headwind, and you kick the ball at 20 mph, the ball is really going 40 mph.

With a strong cross wind, you can make the ball curve without putting much spin on it. Wind is an important factor in all ball sports.”

On top of this, the ball's lack of panels likely played its part too.

“The more panels you have, the more seams you have on the ball, and that affects surface roughness," Mehta continued. "The surface roughness in turn affects the speed at which the ball will knuckle.”

The result was an unpredictable World Cup, where the ball could fly high into the sky unexpectedly during play, or swerve erratically past a confused goalkeeper.

While a lot of the players may not have been fans, it was certainly entertaining to watch.

Congress moves to reject bulk of White House’s proposed NASA cuts

Jul 15, 2025 3:05 PM

A budget-writing panel in the House of Representatives passed a $24.8 billion NASA budget bill Tuesday, joining a similar subcommittee in the Senate in maintaining the space agency's funding after the White House proposed a nearly 25 percent cut.

The budget bills making their way through the House and Senate don't specify funding levels for individual programs, but the topline numbers—$24.8 billion in the House version and $24.9 billion the Senate bill—represent welcome news for scientists, industry, and space enthusiasts bracing for severe cuts requested by the Trump administration.

The spending plan passed Tuesday by the House Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies covers NASA and numerous other federal agencies.

The $24.8 billion budget the House seeks for NASA is $6 billion more than the Trump administration's budget proposal, and keeps NASA's funding next year the same as this year.

The corresponding subcommittee in the Senate passed its version of NASA's fiscal year 2026 budget July 9.

The Senate bill maintains funding for NASA's science division at $7.3 billion, the same as fiscal year 2025, while the House bill reduces it to $6 billion, still significantly more than the $3.9 billion for science in the White House budget proposal.

Flat is the new up

In reality, a flat budget is effectively a cut in funding once you account for inflation. But spaceflight and space science advocates celebrated the bills written to restore NASA's budget.

"Though the House and Senate have much still to debate on full-year appropriations, this much is clear: Congress is rejecting the full extent of the unprecedented, unstrategic, and wasteful cuts to NASA and NASA science proposed by the White House’s Office of Management and Budget," the Planetary Society said in a statement.

However, there remains a sense of urgency among NASA's backers for Congress to pass a full appropriations bill. NASA has already directed teams to submit "closeout plans" for dozens of missions teed up for cancellation in Trump's budget.

Many scientists view this as an effort by the Trump administration to cancel as many NASA science missions as possible before Congress passes a budget for the upcoming fiscal year, Ars reported earlier this month.

"The Planetary Society calls on the OMB and the current NASA leadership to acknowledge clear congressional intent to support NASA science, and avoid the premature implementation of irreversible structural changes such as imposing research grant cancellations, indiscriminate reductions in force, and active mission terminations."

"We rejected cuts that would have devastated NASA science by 47 percent and would have terminated 55 operating and planned missions, and instead we provide $7.3 billion, said Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), ranking member of the Senate's Commerce, Justice, and Science appropriations subcommittee, during a budget markup hearing last week.

The full text of the Senate bill hasn't been released, but the budget blueprint would postpone the Trump administration's plan to cancel the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, according to Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), the Senate subcommittee's chairman.

The SLS and Orion vehicles are core elements of NASA's Artemis program to return US astronauts to the Moon, and the White House proposed canceling both after two more flights, long enough to make a single Artemis lunar landing attempt.

NASA would then procure commercial rides to the Moon on rockets and spaceships from companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin, while the government's focus would pivot to mounting human missions to Mars.

Update By NASA’s Chief Information Officer

July 15, 2025

OCIO Team, I wanted to provide an update on our current situation and related planning efforts as we navigate significant organizational changes, first starting with my plans.

As many of you may have heard, after 35 years at NASA, I have decided to bring my career to a close – but this is not happening immediately.

I’ll be here through the end of the calendar year to support the many challenges we are working and enable an effective transition while continuing to partner with you in doing great things for NASA.

Now about some of those challenges…

Current Status

NASA has many employees participating in DRP 2, totaling more than 3,000 current or planned departures across both DRP 1 and 2.

Within OCIO, we have approximately 115 team members departing through the current flexibilities and when combined with other separations, the hiring freeze, and DRP 1, our OCIO civil servant team is down about 30% since January with another week and a half before the DRP 2 window closes.

We’re also planning for a ~$170M budget reduction between FY25 and FY26, based on the proposed NASA budget. While these are planning numbers, we must prepare today for reduced funding in the near future.

Our Approach

OCIO leaders have identified more than 100 service reductions, eliminations, efficiency opportunities, and charging model changes to continue delivering critical NASA services within a reduced budget.

We’re working through implementation details in multiple weekly meetings. We’re also evaluating options to optimize contracted service support, building in time for necessary contract changes, some of which must happen this fiscal year to meet a reduced budget in the coming fiscal year.

For workforce reductions, we’re streamlining operations by looking at how we might combine similar functions, reduce management layers, and focus on essential work – we simply can’t do all the things we used to do, or work in all the same ways we have in the past.

On two specific fronts, OCIO leadership is discussing consolidating Agency Level Offices into fewer offices, with similar planning focused on Service Line streamlining scheduled for later this month.

All of these changes will impact people – both our customers and our OCIO team members, so we are also looking for the best way to begin discussing changes at the right times and in the right settings – more to come on that front.

Moving Forward

We’re awaiting guidance on agency ARRP restructuring and will adjust our operating model accordingly once we receive direction.

We believe the budget and organizational planning described above will align with any agency direction taken.

We’ll schedule another Town Hall after the DRP 2 window closes and we have more planning details and updates to share.

Even with all of the changes that are taking place, including the departure of many colleagues and friends, the OCIO team is continuing to do a tremendous job supporting the NASA mission.

While we are actively developing an approach that meets mission needs and preserves critical IT services, I want to express that our people are the most important resource we have.

Please continue to take care of yourself and take care of each other.

Finally, along the idea of caring for one another, over the next several days I am going to share a few thoughts about how I am personally navigating these challenges.

Starting tomorrow, and running through Thursday, I am going to share a few things that I have found useful and have spent time considering – maybe you will find some value in thinking about some of these ideas yourself.

With gratitude,

Jeff

‘Not that into peace doves’: The Apollo-Soyuz patch NASA rejected

Jul 15, 2025 7:58 AM

Fifty years ago, on July 15, 1975, three NASA astronauts and two Russian cosmonauts lifted off to meet up in orbit for the first time.

Representing the joint Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP, or Soyuz-Apollo in the Soviet Union), both crews wore a cloth patch that featured the artwork of an accomplished space artist.

The design that flew, however, was not the astronauts' first pick. That patch idea was rejected because Paul Calle opted to highlight the détente nature of the international handshake in space.

"Our first choice for a patch... has been disapproved," wrote Deke Slayton, the mission's docking module pilot, in a letter to Calle. "It seems the powers that be are not that into peace doves and olive branches at the moment."

It was an odd objection, given that Soviet General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev later described the ASTP flight as "a symbol of the... improvement of Soviet-US relations on the basis of the principals of peaceful coexistence," and Gerald Ford welcomed continued cooperation in space "to ensure peace."

“You forgot your patch...”

Paul Calle was not new to capturing the essence of space history in the making.

One of the first members of NASA's art program, which recruited artists to document human spaceflight, Calle sketched the Apollo 11 crew as they had breakfast and donned their spacesuits prior to lifting off on the first mission to land astronauts on the Moon.

He also designed the popular US postage stamp that celebrated that achievement in 1969.

Calle got to know the ASTP crew—NASA astronauts Thomas Stafford, Vance Brand, and Slayton and Soviet cosmonauts Alexei Leonov and Valery Kubasov—while accompanying them to the Soviet Union and sketching them as they trained in Star City, outside of Moscow.

So when asked by the American crew members to design their patch, Calle came back with concepts that prominently featured a white dove holding an olive branch in its mouth.

Other versions incorporated the peace sign and a rendering of Earth showing both the United States and the Soviet Union, the flags of the US and USSR, and his simplified illustration of the Apollo and Soyuz docked together.

Some of Calle's designs included all of the crew members' names, some had only the American astronauts' names, and others had no names at all. But none of the versions were to NASA's liking.

"We would be happy to see any new sketches you would come up with," wrote Slayton. "The top choice would be heavy on red, white, blue, and gold colors, if that is any value to you."

Calle, though, was more drawn by the call of the West than by the cooperation with the East.

"He had just started his career painting and drawing the American West, so he really wasn't taking any more illustration assignments," said Chris Calle, Paul Calle's son and a successful space artist in his own right.

"He really wasn't doing much for NASA [any longer], so I think that's why, when they came back balking about the patches with the doves and olive branches, he just didn't have the time to put toward that."

‘Unconscionable Result’: Former WI City Clerk Under Fire In Ballot Debacle

By: M.D. Kittle July 16, 20251/2

Satya Rhodes-Conway,Madison’s far-left mayor, has long wagged her finger at the most basic election integrity efforts. Voter ID, to Madison leftists like the mayor, is “voter suppression.”

In 2022, when the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled against the expansive use of ballot drop boxes,Rhodes-Conway called efforts to check their use an act of “racist voter suppression” and an “attack on voting.”

But Wisconsin’s capital city, which loves to applaud itself for its“inclusivity,” is dealing with quite the black eye after its city clerk’s office disenfranchised nearly 200 voters.

A damning report by the Wisconsin Elections Commission finds Madison’s top election official oversaw a “confluence of errors” leading to an “unconscionable result” in her office’s failure to count 193 absentee ballots in November’s election. As The Federalist reported, it appears longtime City Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl was more interested in going on vacation than righting a series of wrongs in a system that lost track of ballots and cost Madison voters a vital right.

“These actions resulted in nearly 200 lawful voters’ votes going uncounted – an unconscionable result,” states the bipartisan report, authored by WEC Chairwoman Ann Jacobs, a Democrat appointee, and Commissioner Don Millis, a Republican. “This profound failure undermines public confidence in elections.”

‘Dereliction of Duties’

At its meeting on Thursday, the commission is expected to consider a draft decision letter and proposed order with conclusions drawn from the election regulator’s six-month investigation.The purpose of the probe was to determinewhether “Witzel-Behl tookactions that were contrary to law, or abused her discretion, with respect to 193 absentee ballots that were properly received, but not counted, during the November 5, 2024, General Election.”

Spoiler Alert: She did, according to WEC investigators.

The report’s legal analysis notes five counts of election law violations, including a failure to train election inspectors and a failure to have charge and supervision over post-election tasks.

The disgraced clerk resigned in April amid investigationsand after being placed on leave. A city report issued in late April found Witzel-Behl violated administrative policy and the terms of her employment contract. Her handling of the uncounted ballots showed a “dereliction of duties,” according to the report. Investigators also found the former election official’s accounts of events inconsistent.

“There issignificant evidence to support the contentionthat her responses to questions given in interviews related to this investigation, her responses to WEC, information she provided to the Office of the City Attorneyand information she provided to the Mayor’s Office deviated significantly from, and was inconsistent with, the recall of all other interviewees,” the city report states.

‘Astonishing Lack of Action’

The city’s and the commission’s reports lay out the timeline of events, from pre-election to the discovery on Nov. 12 of the first sealed green courier bag continuing 68 uncounted absentee ballots from two wards to the discovery of another 125 unprocessed ballots from another ward during the early December reconciliation process.Witzel-Behl’s office failed to report the problem to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, as required by law, until Dec. 18, nearly a month-and-a-half after the election.Even then, the city didn’t alert the WEC to the uncounted ballotsas much as it requested help in a“reconciliation override” to enter the “unprocessed” votesinto the state’s election system.

Elections Commission investigators found that “there was a complete lack of leadership in the City Clerk’s office.”

Φsat-2 begins science phase for AI Earth images

15/07/2025

Φsat-2, a miniature satellite, has completed its commissioning and has begun delivery of science data, using algorithms to efficiently process and compress Earth observation images, as well as detect wildfires, ships, marine pollution and more.

The cubesat measuring 22 x 10 x 33 cm was launched in August 2024 and the first image was delivered four days after launch.

Since then, the Φsat-2 team has spent nine months commissioning the satellite’s multispectral imager and its onboard AI applications, which carry out a range of activities.

These AI capabilities include selecting images with clear visibility, while discarding images obscured by cloud cover.

The algorithms can also detect and analyse disaster areas, for example zones affected by wildfires, earthquakes or floods, and identify access routes for emergency response teams.

It can also be used to detect ships, gather data on illegal fishing and marine pollution. Commissioning was concluded in the second quarter of this year and the satellite is now delivering scientific data.

The satellite orbits at an altitude of 510 km. It generates images using seven multispectral bands, from visible to near-infrared, as well as one panchromatic band, with a ground sampling distance of about 5 m.

This type of remote-sensing instrument is particularly useful for environmental monitoring, land management and mapping.

To mark the transition from commissioning to science phase, five images have been selected to show a range of capabilities for various end-uses over diverse types of terrain.

All images are true colour using red, green and blue spectral bands, except for the image of the Bahia Blanca Estuary, which is false colour using near-infrared spectral band.

Clavering Øer glaciers, Greenland

Bahia Blanca Estuary, Argentina

City of Innsbruck, Austria

Sediment in Gulf of Tunis, Tunisia

Ships in Port Said, Egypt

Φsat-2 was designed with the purpose of demonstrating and testing the use of onboard AI in Earth observation.

According to Nicola Melega, ESA Earth observation system engineer and responsible for commissioning Φsat-2, the initial plan was to process data onboard and then transmit information generated by the AI applications back to Earth.

Nicola said, “As often happens, we realised during the commissioning phase that there were ways of making the mission more interesting for AI developers and instead of making available only the end results of the onboard processing chain (Level 2 data) we now provide users with an entire collection of Level 1 data products that will help the application development and the training process.”

The ground segment is provided by Open Cosmos and CGI Italy; while Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) provides a ground station service, mainly from antennas in Svalbard.

Data are made available on the Insula platform by CGI Italy – and are freely available to anyone who wants to register (requests for registration should be sent to insula-info.it@cgi.com).

Φsat-2 is still a demonstrator mission: it is designed to find the limitations and gaps in new technology. Nicola explained, “But its purpose is also to build our understanding of the processes.

We can check the performance of the applications and we can also see what resources are needed to manage the mission and process the data.”

>Visa fraud.

Here’s what we know

According to federal officials, the indictment alleges that Patel, Doyle, Slaney, Dixon, Onishea, and others created false police reports in central parishes. Victims of supposed armed robberies who were listed in the reports could apply for U-Visas. People who sought visas allegedly contacted and paid Patel.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said the indictment alleges that Patel gave, offered, and agreed to pay a Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office employee $5,000 on Feb. 18, 2025, to reward them for a false police report.

Doyle, Slaney, Dixon, and Onishea allegedly submitted false statements regarding immigration applications between Sept. 27, 2023, to Dec. 26, 2024.

“The FBI and the majority of our law enforcement community is privileged to work on behalf of true crime victims every day. But in this case, people paid thousands of dollars to manufacture that status to get a shortcut to the privilege of staying in our great nation,” FBI New Orleans Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Tapp said in a statement.

Authorities said defendants could each face a sentence of up to five years in prison for conspiracy charges, up to 10 years for visa fraud charges, and up to 20 years for mail fraud charges if convicted. Patel could face up to 10 years on the bribery charge.

Officials added that defendants could be ordered to pay a fine of up to $250,000 on each count.

Q

The New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Childrenwas founded in 1874 (and incorporated in 1875) as the world's first child protective agency. It is sometimes called the Gerry Society[1] after one of its co-founders, Elbridge Thomas Gerry. It is commonly seen as having played a key role in the development of children's rights and child protective services in the English speaking world. Today it offers support and advocacy for high-risk and abused children, parental skills classes, and professional training in the identification and reporting of child abuse and neglect.

Origins

In 1866 Henry Bergh had founded the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, partly in response to the creation in Great Britain of the RSPCA some years earlier. In 1874 he and other officers of the society were approached by a church worker named Etta Agnell Wheeler regarding the mistreatment of a child called Mary Ellen McCormack, who was being beaten daily by her foster mother.[2] Wheeler had approached several others before appealing to an animal charity.[3]

Bergh swiftly managed to secure custody of the child. After the trial and conviction in April 1874 of the foster mother for assault and battery, Etta Wheeler is said to have approached Bergh and asked him why there should not be a society to protect children just as there was one to prevent cruelty to animals. He promised to create one.[1] Bergh and his ASPCA legal counsel Elbridge Thomas Gerry approached the Quaker philanthropist John D. Wright to gain support for the creation of a child protection society. On December 15, 1874 the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was formed. According to Gerry, the Society's purpose was:

... To rescue little children from the cruelty and demoralization which neglect, abandonment and improper treatment engender; to aid by all lawful means in the enforcement of the laws intended for their protection and benefit; to secure by like means the prompt conviction and punishment of all persons violating such laws and especially such persons as cruelly ill treat and shamefully neglect such little children of whom they claim the care, custody or control.[4]

On April 27, 1875 it was incorporated as the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children,with Wright as president and Bergh and Gerry as vice-presidents.[4] Three other members of the ASPCA board were recruited to the board of the NYSPCC, withWright subsequently attracting other wealthy benefactors including Cornelius Vanderbilt.[1]

After Wright's death in 1879, Gerry became president, retiring in 1901, but remaining legal advisor until his death in 1927. Bergh went on to found the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in 1878, with other similar organisations appearing across the United States.

US Satellites Capture China's Space Activities

Jul 16, 2025 at 4:30 AM EDT

United States satellites recently captured "crystal-clear" images revealing increased Chinese activity in space, as both powers race to dominate this domain beyond Earth's atmosphere.

Maxar Technologies, a Colorado-based satellite imagery company, told Newsweek that its non-Earth imaging (NEI) capability provides what it describes as "advanced visual intelligence" of any object in Earth's orbit by capturing "very high-resolution" images.

Newsweek reached out to the China National Space Administration for comment via email.

Why It Matters

China is advancing several programs as the East Asian power pushes for supremacy in space, including building a network of 16 space-enabling facilities in Latin America, operating the Tiangong Space Station, and planning to send astronauts to the moon by 2030.

Facing growing challenges from China, the U.S. Space Force was established in 2019 to maintain American superiority in space.

In April, a U.S. military satellite capable of maneuvering near objects in orbit was tracked buzzing a pair of Chinese satellites.

What To Know

Earlier this month, Maxar Technologies shared images of the Tiangong Space Station and the International Space Station, captured by one of its WorldView Legion satellites, on social media, saying that it is "unleashing a new era of high-fidelity, space-to-space imaging."

The level of resolution and structural clarity in these images opens new possibilities for monitoring orbital activities, the company said.

"This isn't just a technical achievement; it's a critical capability for space domain awareness and monitoring activity beyond Earth."

Susanne Hake, general manager of Maxar Intelligence's U.S. Government business, later shared on social media what she described as a "crystal-clear picture" of the Chinese optical remote sensing satellite ShiJian-26, captured on June 3 by the company's WorldView Legion satellites.

"This type of resolution is revolutionary for space situational awareness," said Hake, adding that ShiJian-26 is one of China's latest-generation optical reconnaissance satellites, and that the ability to photograph it this clearly marks a new era in satellite-to-satellite observation.

I hesitated to write this however, with the utmost respect and deference to you for all you’ve withstood (few know it better than me what the “deep state” can do when they want to turn on a person). The EPSTEIN AFFAIR is NOT about who killed him or if he committed suicide—personally, I’m glad this known pedophile is dead.

But neither is this a hoax.

This issue goes beyond all that. There are millions of Americans who overwhelmingly voted for you to be OUR President, and we want you to be massively successful. No one more than me. Personally, I still have a target on my forehead. I know that but, like you, I still fight.

Beyond all that, OUR country is facing a level of internal subversion and it is a relentless attack on the very foundation of our constitutional republic. If you’re not successful, our country may not survive. It is that extreme of a situation we currently face. Read Lincoln’s Lyceum speech of 1838. He knew, as you know (and as we all can see with our very eyes), our nation will not die from a foreign foe, NEVER, if we die, it will be by our own suicide.

There is an ongoing undermining by subversive elements inside and outside the USG. That is the essence of the deep state.

All we want at this stage is for a modicum of trust to be reestablished between our federal government and the people it is designed to serve. That’s all (PERIOD!).

An element that is of great importance surrounding this Epstein affair is the fact this man was a known pedophile, had a list of clients who represented the upper crust of society, and likely did untoward things to CHILDREN on his island, in his homes in NYC, and New Mexico (and maybe elsewhere). He was convicted of it.

Regardless of what class of society abuses and commits crimes against CHILDREN, it is NEVER acceptable.

This is where this argument went off the rails. It is NOT about Epstein or the left. It is about committing crimes against CHILDREN. If he were part of an intel operation known or run by our CIA (shame on them) and those responsible MUST be held accountable. If there is another country involved, then shame on them as well. If there are elites inside of our country that committed crimes against CHILDREN (shame on them) and they MUST be held ACCOUNTABLE.

Few know how many crystal balls you juggle on a daily basis (I do). And I know you cannot drop any of them.

With my strongest recommendation, please gather your team and figure out a way to move past this. The roll out of this was terrible, no way around that. Americans want America to be successful, therefore, WE NEED YOU TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

Please take this missive as though coming from someone who willingly and voluntarily fought for this country against multiple enemies overseas only to come home to face my greatest enemy right here at home. You know precisely what I mean.

God bless you and may God continue to protect you from the dark forces that do exist. I believe you were put on this earth for such a time as this.

You truly represent

ISAIAH 6:8 🙏🏼🇺🇸

Colossal eruption carves 250,000-mile-long 'canyon of fire' into the sun

July 16, 2025

On July 15, a colossal filament erupted from the sun's northeastern limb, dramatically reshaping part of our star's surface, albeit briefly, and unleashing a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space.

The outburst was so powerful that it carved a glowing trench of hot plasma more than 250,000 miles (about 400,000 kilometers) long, roughly the distance from Earth to the moon.

The explosive event was captured in stunning detail by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), showing the filament unraveling as solar material arcs and cascades through the sun's atmosphere.

As the filament collapsed, it left behind what some call a "canyon of fire," with towering walls estimated to rise at least 12,400 miles (20,000 km) high, according to Spaceweather.com

These glowing rifts form when the sun's magnetic field lines violently snap and realign after an eruption, leaving behind a searing hot trench of plasma that traces the reshaping magnetic field, according to NASA.

This fiery chasm isn't just a visual spectacle. Filaments are cooler, dense ribbons of solar plasma that can hang suspended above the sun's surface by magnetic fields, according to NOAA.

When these become unstable, they can erupt dramatically, sometimes launching coronal mass ejections (CMEs) into space — powerful blasts of solar plasma and magnetic fields that can trigger geomagnetic storms here on Earth.

Coronagraph imagery from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and GOES-19 satellite suggests that while the filament eruption did release a CME, there is no Earth-directed component.

"The CME is heading away from Earth," aurora chaser Vincent Ledvina wrote in a post on X. "Here is the CME in LASCO C2 (left) and CCOR-1 (right) which has a later frame of the CME further spread out.

The front is traveling pretty slowly and away from Earth."

Space Force releases Principles for Space Access Resourcing Decisions

July 16, 2025

ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) - The U.S. Space Force released its Principles for Space Access Resourcing Decisions Annex to the Commercial Space Strategy, July 16.

The annex details how the service will consider and prioritize commercial space sector requests for government resources, as well as government investment decisions.

The annex features nine principles, rooted in law, that will guide the Assured Access to Space Enterprise’s decision-making on a variety of resourcing decisions including acquisition strategies, investment priorities and property allocation.

“Our access to space is foundational to our national security and our way of life,” said Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Strategy, Plans, Programs and Requirements Lt. Gen. Shawn N. Bratton.

“These principles reflect our understanding that a strong commercial space industry is a force multiplier for the U.S. Space Force.

We are committed to working alongside our industry and allied partners to ensure safe, reliable and resilient access to space for decades to come.”

The annex signals an acknowledgment of the evolution of the space access landscape from the 1950s, in which the government was the primary customer, to today where commercial space activities account for the preponderance of launch manifest activities.

“For decades, our partnership with the commercial space sector has been instrumental in securing America's access to space,” said Lt. Gen. Philip A. Garrant, commander of Space Systems Command.

“We are committed to making strategic decisions that ensure our national security needs are met, while also fostering a robust and competitive commercial space industry.

The strength and innovation of the commercial sector is ultimately a force multiplier for our national security.”
