NASA Astronaut Don Pettit, Crewmates Complete Space Station Expedition

Apr 19, 2025

NASA astronaut Don Pettit returned to Earth Saturday, accompanied by Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner, concluding a seven-month science mission aboard the International Space Station.

The trio departed the space station at 5:57 p.m. EDT aboard the Soyuz MS-26 spacecraft before making a safe, parachute-assisted landing at 9:20 p.m. (6:20 a.m. on Sunday, April 20, Kazakhstan time), southeast of Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan.

Pettit also celebrates his 70th birthday on Sunday, April 20.

Spanning 220 days in space, Pettit and his crewmates orbited the Earth 3,520 times, completing a journey of 93.3 million miles. Pettit, Ovchinin, and Vagner launched and docked to the orbiting laboratory on Sept. 11, 2024.

During his time aboard the space station, Pettit conducted research to enhance in-orbit metal 3D printing capabilities, advance water sanitization technologies, explore plant growth under varying water conditions, and investigate fire behavior in microgravity, all contributing to future space missions.

He also used his surroundings aboard station to conduct unique experiments in his spare time and captivate the public with his photography.

This was Pettit’s fourth spaceflight, where he served as a flight engineer for Expeditions 71 and 72. He has logged 590 days in orbit throughout his career.

Ovchinin completed his fourth flight, totaling 595 days, and Vagner has earned an overall total of 416 days in space during two spaceflights.

NASA is following its routine postlanding medical checks, the crew will return to the recovery staging area in Karaganda, Kazakhstan.

Pettit will then board a NASA plane bound for the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. According to NASA officials at the landing site, Pettit is doing well and in the range of what is expected for him following return to Earth.

For more than two decades, people have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge and making research breakthroughs that are not possible on Earth.

The station is a critical testbed for NASA to understand and overcome the challenges of long-duration spaceflight and to expand commercial opportunities in low Earth orbit.

As commercial companies focus on providing human space transportation services and destinations as part of a strong low Earth orbit economy, NASA is focusing more resources on deep space missions to the Moon as part of Artemis in preparation for future astronaut missions to Mars.

You know, thinking back on my behavior towards Fox in 2022, with the abrasive play by plays and whatnot. I was quite the asshole. Looking back on that now and taking the state of the current administration into account, I'll admit I feel a little foolish right now. There were so many red flags going off in my head at that time with COVID and the start of the Ukraine war and the symbology started coming out that was in their military. Any apologies owed are given freely, though based upon my behavior I don't expect those apologies to be accepted because I did say some unacceptable things about good people there. KEK. C'est la vie. Guess I'm just getting what I deserve is all.

NASA Science, Cargo Launch on 32nd SpaceX Resupply Station Mission

Apr 21, 2025

Following the successful launch of NASA’s SpaceX 32nd Commercial Resupply Services mission, new scientific experiments and supplies are bound for the International Space Station.

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, carrying approximately 6,700 pounds of cargo to the orbiting laboratory for NASA, lifted off at 4:15 a.m. EDT Monday, on the company’s Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Live coverage of the spacecraft’s arrival will begin at 6:45 a.m., Tuesday, April 22, on NASA+. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of platforms.

The spacecraft is scheduled to autonomously dock at approximately 8:20 a.m. to the zenith, or space-facing, port of the space station’s Harmony module.

The resupply mission will support dozens of research experiments during Expedition 73.

Along with food and essential equipment for the crew, Dragon is delivering a variety of science experiments, including a demonstration of refined maneuvers for free-floating robots.

Dragon also carries an enhanced air quality monitoring system that could help protect crew members on exploration missions to the Moon and Mars, and two atomic clocks to examine fundamental physics concepts, such as relativity, and test global synchronization of precision timepieces.

These are just a sample of the hundreds of investigations conducted aboard the orbiting laboratory each year in the areas of biology and biotechnology, physical sciences, and Earth and space science.

Such research benefits humanity and helps lay the groundwork for future human exploration through the agency’s Artemis campaign, which will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future missions to Mars.

The Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to remain at the orbiting laboratory until May, when it will depart and return to Earth with time-sensitive research and cargo, splashing down off the coast of California.

NASA’s EZIE Mission Captures ‘First Light’

April 22, 2025

NASA’s EZIE (Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer) mission has taken its first measurements.

These “first light” observations show that EZIE is poised to reveal crucial details about Earth’s auroral electrojets — powerful electric currents that flow through our upper atmosphere where auroras glow in the sky.

This information will help us better understand Earth’s connection to space and mitigate the negative impacts of space weather on society.

With a trio of CubeSats, EZIE launched in mid-March to map the auroral electrojets up close and in detail for the first time.

These intense currents are generated in the northern and southern polar regions of our atmosphere, about 65 miles (105 kilometers) above the ground, when tremendous amounts of energy are transferred into Earth’s upper atmosphere from the solar wind.

The same process can also ignite colorful auroras (northern or southern lights) in our skies.

The EZIE spacecraft are designed to map the strength and direction of these currents by studying emission from oxygen molecules about 10 miles (16 kilometers) below the electrojets.

The oxygen molecules emit microwaves at a frequency of 118 gigahertz.

But in the presence of magnetic fields, such as those created by the electrojets, this emission line divides in a process called Zeeman splitting.

The stronger the magnetic field, the farther apart the 118 GHz line is split. The polarizations, or wave orientations, of the oxygen emission reveal the direction of the magnetic field.

On March 19, one of the three EZIE satellites successfully recorded Zeeman splitting of the 118 GHz oxygen emission line for the first time with its Microwave Electrojet Magnetogram (MEM) instrument.

The observations reveal the strength and direction of the responsible magnetic field — in this case, Earth’s own magnetic field near the magnetic equator.

“The EZIE team is very excited about these first-light results,” said Sam Yee of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, the mission’s principal investigator.

“The observations demonstrate that both the spacecraft and the MEM instrument onboard are working as expected.”

The EZIE mission is expected to begin its formal science investigations in about a month, following final checkouts and calibrations.

Wall Street Journal: Trump Should End H-1B Visa Caps Now that Southern Border Is Secure

Neil Munro21 Apr 2025

President Donald Trump has successfully stopped the inflow of economic migrants via the southern border, so he should invite more economic migrants via the nation’s airports, says the Wall Street Journal.

The political “question is whetherMr. Trump can use the political capital from his border victory to achieve a more lasting immigration success,” the newspaper’s pro-migration editors declared. According to WSJ-owner Rupert Murdoch’s editors, Trump’s “opportunity” for “immigration success” should:

include more pathways for legal immigration to address the labor needs of a growing economy. Half of small businesses say one of their largest problems is finding workers.If Mr. Trump wants more fruits and vegetables grown at home, who’s going to pick them?(He didn’t limit temp visas for farm workers, they start with a lie)

… If Mr. Trump wants Silicon Valley to win the AI race, why are H-1B skilled visas capped at a low number and handed out by lottery?

The newspaper’s illegal=bad/legal=good message comes as Trump’s deputies are charting a course back to a lower-migration, high-productivity United States, away from the post-1990 cheap-labor economy that transfers ordinary Americans’ wages into profits for quarterly CEOs and Wall Street investors.

The promise of cheap labor is “a drug that too many American firms got addicted to … [and] cheap labor is a problem precisely because it’s been bad for innovation,” Vice President JD Vance told his audience of investors in March:

Real innovation makes us more productive, but it also, I think, dignifies our workers. It boosts our standard of living. It strengthens our workforce and the relative value of its labor.

Breitbart News has posted many articles about migration’s harmful impact on productivity and innovation — and also how tight labor markets help pressure companies to invest in wage-boosting automation and productivity.

In the white-collar sector, Breitbart News has shown how visa programs created by Congress and executives — such as the H-1B, J-1, L-1, CPT, and other visa programs — have imported debilitating Indian-style office politics into a wide range of critical U.S. companies, including Intel, IBM, Twitter, and Boeing. The damage was recently spotlighted by Citibank, which announced it would sharply reduce its reliance on foreign contractors after the contractors cost the company at least $600 million in routine operations and regulatory incompetence.The decision means Citibank will begin hiring at least 10,000 American technology professionals for jobs held by supposedly cheaper Indian visa workers.

The economic damage of migration has been noted by some business leaders who face competing temptations to either raise short-term profit via migration or raise long-term productivity and innovation via investment in American employees.

“I can argue, in the developed countries, the big winners are the countries that have shrinking populations,” BlackRock founder Larry Fink said at a 2024 pro-globalist event hosted by the World Economic Forum in Saudi Arabia. He continued:

That’s something that most people never talked about. We always used to think [a] shrinking population is a cause for negative [economic] growth. But in my conversations with the leadership of these large, developed countries [such as China, and Japan] that have xenophobic anti-immigration policies, they don’t allow anybody to come in — [so they have] shrinking demographics — these countries will rapidly develop robotics and AI and technology …

“If a promise of all that transforms productivity, whichmost of us think it will [emphasis added] — we’ll be able to elevate the standard of living in countries, the standard of living for individuals, even with shrinking populations,” Finksaid. (Fuck Finkand WSJ mouthpiece of Murdochs!)

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass Cuts 400 Police Department Jobs in ‘State of the City’

Joel B. Pollak22 Apr 2025

LOS ANGELES, California — Mayor Karen Bass tried to strike an upbeat tone as she delivered the bad news Monday in her “State of the City” speech, cutting 400 civilian jobs in the L.A. Police Department next year.

The Los Angeles Times reported:

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass released a proposed budget on Monday that would eliminate a nearly $1 billion financial gapby cutting more than 2,700 city positions — about 1,650 of them through layoffs.

…

The $14 billion spending plan, which covers the 2025-26 fiscal year, would provide funding for scores of new hires at the fire department, three months after the Palisades fire destroyed thousands of homes and killed 12 people.

…

At the Los AngelesPolice Department, more than 400 workers would be targeted for layoffs, all of them civilians, according to figures prepared by city budget officials. The number of police officers would continue on its gradual downward trajectory, with new hires failing to keep pace with attrition.

Bass also claimed that the process of recovery and building after the Palisades Fire was the fastest in the history of the state:(liar)

Today, in reporting on the State of our City, I report to Los Angeles that the recovery in the Palisades is on track to be the fastest in California history. We’re not just moving fast to move fast. We know that the faster we can rebuild, the faster we can heal. We still have a long way to go, and for those who have lost a home, each and every day is a day too long. We want to be fast, we want to be safe and we want to be resilient.

We have issued permits to rebuild twice as fast as after the Camp and Woolsey fires, we restored water nearly a year and a half faster than after the Camp Fire, and we restored power in just two months. Los Angeles, I assure you, rebuilding is underway.

Many residents, frustrated by delays in debris removal, building permits, and insurance company payouts, would disagree.

Bass said the city would start using AI technology to speed up the process of approving building permits, and called on the City Council “to pass an ordinance to waive all plan check and permit fees so that Angelenos can get home.”

However, skeptical residents are running out of time. And many refuse to forget that she was out of the country when the fires broke out in January, breaking a campaign promise to refuse international travel.

ESA welcomes inauguration of the African Space Agency

22/04/2025

The European Space Agency has joined the world space community in congratulating the African Space Agency on its official inauguration.

The African Space Agency (AfSA) is the second regional space agency after ESA and has been in development since 2015, with the African Union Commission adopting an African space policy and strategy in 2016.

The African Space Agency brings together the 55 member countries of the African Union to coordinate and implement Africa's space ambitions.

Its headquarters are in Egypt, which launched Africa's first satellite in 1998. Since then, 18 African countries have launched a further 63 satellites and many African nations have implemented their own space programmes to the benefit of their people.

AfSA has the goal of harnessing space science and technology for Africa's socio-economic development, promoting collaborative research and the peaceful exploration of outer space.

The inauguration of AfSA came just prior to the start of this week's NewSpace Africa conference, which brings together space agencies and space companies from around the world to discuss how space innovation can help empower Africa's economy.

ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher offered ESA's congratulations on the inauguration of the agency saying: “The establishment of the African Space Agency is a real milestone for the continent and signals an important advance for Africa’s space strategy.

Space has the power to spur innovation and inspiration, and I look forward to working together for the benefit of citizens on both continents.”

Speaking at the inauguration in Cairo, ESA Director of Internal Services Marco Ferrazzani said: "ESA is proud to partnering with this new regional space agency.

Collaboration with Africa dates back three decades and today ESA even runs a dedicated EOAFRICA Initiative. With AfSA, this cooperation will be brought up to the next level.”

ESA formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding with AfSA that will underpin the implementation of the EU-Africa Space Partnership Programme by the EU, which is designed to strengthen ties between Europe and Africa and encourage the use of space technologies by both public and commercial operators.

Since Africa is disproportionately affected by climate change, there is a particular goal to improve early warning systems for severe weather events or hardships related to climate.

In an additional project co-financed by the European Union, ESA already works with the African space sector on the implementation of a satellite-based augmentation system for air traffic control systems, that enhances the security of air traffic.

Furthermore, ESA is ready to collaborate on further bilateral activities with AfSA.

FCC grants AT&T, AST SpaceMobile permission to trial space broadband network

April 22, 2025

AT&T and AST SpaceMobile have been given the go-ahead from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to carry out direct-to-device (D2D) connectivity trials with emergency services later this year.

In an announcement this week, AT&T said it will work with AST SpaceMobile to begin testing direct-to-cellular satellite connectivity on public safety’s Band 14 spectrum for FirstNet, AT&T's first responder network.

FirstNet operates a network for first responders that is supported by AT&T.

The first responder network already uses satellite technology for its deployable assets, such as SatCOLTs — satellite cell on light trucks, which are vehicles equipped with mobile cell sites that connect via satellite when networks go down during natural disasters.

AT&T will test direct-to-cellular connectivity via AST's BlueBird satellites orbiting Earth. AST's BlueBird satellites launched in September.

It comes just a couple of months after AT&T carried out direct-to-device (D2D) video calls with AST SpaceMobile.

“Satellite connectivity on FirstNet is being built with public safety’s unique needs in mind,” said Matt Walsh, AVP – FirstNet and NextGen 9-1-1 Products, AT&T.

“First responders need more than the minimum, and we are excited to continue building out our comprehensive network to serve the public safety community.”

Founded in 2017, AST's first test satellite, Bluewalker 1, was launched in 2019; Bluewalker 2 was canceled. Its latest test satellite, Bluewalker 3, launched in 2022.

AST was planning a constellation of almost 170 satellites; the first 20 were originally due to enter operation by 2023, with another 90 deployed through 2024. According to more recent press releases, it seems to have revised its constellation plans down to 100.

Verizon and AT&T, along with Vodafone, are all investors in AST SpaceMobile, rivaling Elon Musk's SpaceX Starlink.

"Alongside integration efforts with partner networks, we are installing five gateways in the United States, and we are now accelerating our path to commercial activity, starting with testing service with off-the-shelf cellular handsets on AT&T and Verizon networks," said Chris Ivory, chief commercial officer of AST SpaceMobile.

During the recent direct-to-device video calls, AST received special temporary authority from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to test its satellite broadband network in the US.

The company also carried out separate calls with Verizon. To carry out the trial video calls, AST used AT&T and Verizon's 850MHz spectrum, which is compatible with standard smartphones.

Scientists left baffled after discovering lone black hole floating through space

Updated 16:31 22 Apr 2025 GMT+1

Scientists have been left stunned after stumbling across a lone black hole drifting through space.

It's not every day astronomers come across an isolated black mass roaming the Milky Way. In fact, it's a 'one in a million' chance, despite being seven times larger than Earth's sun.

The 'Galactic bulge' is also usually completely invisible to both eye and lens, since black holes absorb any light that falls over them.

Black holes are the compact remains of exploded stars which are so dense that its gravity stops anything, even light, from escaping its singularity.

The late cosmologist Stephen Hawking had a better explanation for how black holes essentially suck the life out of anything that comes in its path, writing in his novel that they cause 'spaghettification'.

The British professor explained how anything that gets too close to a black hole is distorted into a long, thin shape as a result of its gravitational pull.

Anyway, for decades astronomers have only been able to guestimate where they are based on the way gravity stretches spacetime and bends the light from distant stars.

Yet for the first time in history, scientists believe they have spotted a black hole based on deflections of a source star, though no star orbits it.

According to the group of researchers from the American Astronomical Society who published their findings in The Astrophysical Journal, a lonely black hole was seen from a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as early as 2011.

Over the course of a six-year period, the team monitored the segment of sky to watch stars were being abnormally moved from their positions, hinting at a hidden object causing havoc under a cloak of invisibility.

The researchers say the mysterious void is around 5,000 light years from our home planet in the constellation of Sagittarius, reports Science News, and is actually much closer to us than the other ginormous one in the Milky Way's center at around 27,000 light years away.

Kailash Sahu, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, said it's 'the only one so far.'

The news comes as Sahu and his colleagues discovered the looming mass coursing through the constellation in 2022 but a second team refuted the claim, saying the body could've been a neutron star.

Speaking at the time, researcher Dr Martin Dominik of the University of St Andrews, said: "Einstein did it again - black holes make themselves invisible, but they cannot hide their gravity," as per The Daily Mail.

Now, the new observations from the HST confirm that the mass is so large that is must be a black hole.

While singular black holes are probably frequent, with theoretical estimates suggesting there could be up to 100 million black holes hidden among the hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way, they are difficult to find.

This is largely because it's rare for them to line up with a large star, which reveals their presence.

But in this case, the hole in Sagittarius became exposed when it passed in front of a dim star, magnifying its brightness and slowly shifting its position as a consequence of the black hole's gravity.

“It takes a long time to do the observations,” Sahu added. “Everything is improved if you have a longer baseline and more observations.”

The scientist hopes to find even more black holes with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope which is scheduled to launch in 2027.

Kremlin outlines conditions for talks with Kiev

Ukraine has not yet lifted its self-imposed ban on negotiating with Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

Kiev needs to scrap its own self-imposed ban on talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin if it hopes to facilitate future bilateral talks regarding the Ukraine conflict, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

On Monday, Putin declared he was ready to discuss a potential unilateral halt on civilian infrastructure strikes in a bilateral format with Kiev. This came after Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky floated the idea of a halt on long-range strikes on non-military targets by both sides in a social media statement on Sunday.

In a press briefing on Tuesday, the Kremlin spokesman was asked if Ukraine’s ban on direct talks with Russia could be an obstacle to negotiations on the matter.

”If the Ukrainian side is willing and open, some steps should probably be taken to legally clear these obstacles on the path to such contacts, if there is such a willingness,” Peskov told journalists on Tuesday.

Putin’s statement was “yet another show of Moscow's readiness” to solve issues via diplomacy, he added.

”So far, we have a de facto/de jure situation, when the Ukrainians themselves have banned such contacts, and no action has been taken to lift this ban,”

Peskov said in a statement to Russia TV 1 journalist Pavel Zarubin.

In October of 2022, Zelensky signed a decree to ban all talks with Russia for as long as Putin was in charge. The Ukrainian leader has since repeatedly described his hatred of Russia’s president and his lack of trust in Moscow.

During Monday’s press conference, Putin noted that Zelensky’s initial reaction to the Russian offer of the recently-expired Easter ceasefire was that Moscow was playing “a game,” rather than being serious.

Kiev only agreed via a suggestion from “most likely foreign curators” that rejecting such a truce would be a bad media look, Putin said.

Gunmen kill at least 20 in Kashmiri tourist town

Militant group's claims of responsibility for attack in Pahalgam not yet verified

The attack, which took place in an off-the-road meadow, involved two or three militants, the Indian Express newspaper reported, citing an unidentified senior police officer.

A little-known militant group called the Kashmir Resistance claimed responsibility for the attack in a social media message. It expressed discontent that more than 85,000 "outsiders" had been settled in the region, spurring a "demographic change."

The regional government of Jammu and Kashmir, where Pahalgam is located, told its legislature this month that nearly 84,000 non-locals from within India had been given domicile rights in the territory in the last two years.

China Space Project Investigated by Newsweek Illegal, Chile Says

Updated Apr 21, 2025 at 5:09 PM EDT

Aplanned joint space observatory between China and the Latin American global astronomical hub of Chile was not permitted under Chilean law, the Chilean government has said, in comments that highlighted deepening regional geopolitical tensions over security and technology.

The project between a Chinese state astronomical institute and a private Chilean university in Chile's Atacama desert, aiming to track space objects over the southern skies, drew concerns and warnings from the U.S. that it would also be used to track satellites, thus aiding China's military space awareness in a region that the U.S. considers vital to homeland defense, as Newsweek reported last December.

Chinese astronomers involved in the project had said that the facility at Cerro Ventarrones would be civilian in nature.

Last week, the Chinese Embassy in Santiago, Chile's capital, said that it was similar to others undertaken by other countries in Chile including by the United States, and accused the U.S. of an "escalation of interference."

While Chile's Foreign Ministry stopped short of saying the Ventarrones Astronomical Park was or would be canceled, it noted that the project had not been legal since the local cooperation partner was a private institution.

"If this initiative is focused on astronomical observation, it should be noted that, according to current regulations, private entities are not permitted to enter into international agreements on this matter," Verónica Arqueros Sáez, a spokesperson for Chile's Foreign Ministry said in an email to Newsweek on Friday.

"There are two possible courses of action: one is through a state-to-state negotiation and agreement, and the other is to channel the initiative through the University of Chile, since, by law and as a public university, it is authorized to enter into such agreements," she said.

"Additionally, the project was being developed on public land, under the terms of a concession granted by the Ministry of National Assets.

Therefore, it is essential to assess whether the project meets the conditions established for granting the concession," Arqueros Sáez said.

Last month, the Chilean Foreign Ministry announced that the project was "under review," after the Newsweek investigation revealed that part of the 10-square-mile complex would be off-bounds to Chileans, and that it was not clear exactly what the Chinese side planned to do at the site, which was being built by a Chinese state-owned company that was also involved in construction projects for the Chinese military elsewhere.

The park was announced as a joint initiative between the Universidad Católica del Norte (UCN) and China's National Astronomic Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC).

China has made no secret of the link between its space interests and political and security goals, saying it will create "effective governance in space."

The Sitian Project, a Chinese state science plan seen by Newsweek, had identified the future Ventarrones Observatory as one of five overseas nodes in a global surveillance system to "fully scan" the skies of the entire Southern and Northern Hemispheres every half an hour to "meet national strategic needs."

Chile is one of the most coveted locations for space observation on Earth thanks to its clear skies, dry conditions and high altitudes.

The United States, European countries, and Japan also have facilities there. Up to 70 percent of the world's large telescopes are in Chile.

Chilean media Ex-Ante declared the project over: "The closure of the project is interpreted as a response to the signals that the United States has been sending for some time regarding China's technological advance in Latin American countries," the news site said, before suggesting that Chile needed a "national space strategy that considers both the scientific value of these facilities and their possible geopolitical and security implications."

The Universidad Católica del Norte did not immediately respond to Newsweek's written request for comment.
