A federal judge has sided with two Virginia high school boys who were suspended last month for expressing concerns about a trans-identifying female classmate using the boys’ locker room.

Judge Leonie Brinkema of the US District Court in Virginia granted the plaintiffs an emergency injunction on Tuesday, ruling that the teenage boys from Stonebridge High School would likely suffer irreparable harm if suspended for the first 10 days of school.

The teens came under a Title IX sexual harassment investigation earlier this year after they were videotaped by a female student who identifies as transgender inside the boys' locker room, complaining to one another about the trans classmate using their facilities.

The Loudon County Public School District in Northern Virginia determined, after launching its investigation based on the video and the transgender student's complaint, that the two boys were responsible for sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination. The plaintiffs received 10-day suspensions and a no-contact order, which includes not being in the same classes as the trans-identified female student.

The boys' parents appealed the district's Title X ruling, but were denied, resulting in the case being taken to federal Court. Judge Brinkema blocked the suspension while the case moves forward. One of the boys moved out of state, while the other teen remains in the school district.

"For a Court to issue a temporary restraining order, a plaintiff must establish that he is likely to succeed on the merits, that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest," the judge wrote in her order. "The loss of 10 days of in-person school early in the school year could have serious negative effects on [the plaintiff], and it appears from the record before the Court that [the plaintiff] has not had contact with the complaining student or continued communicating about that student. Therefore, the Court finds that the balance of equities tips in [the plaintiff's favor, given that [the plaintiff] is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of a temporary restraining order…The Court also finds that the public interest is best served by ensuring high school students remain in school and receive adequate process before being suspended."

Ian Prior, senior counsel for America First Legal (AFL), welcomed the judge's ruling, writing in a statement to Fox News: "We are very pleased with the Court's decision, and we look forward to fighting on behalf of our clients."

The lawsuit argued that the "false Title IX [sexual harassment] charge" against both boys has resulted in "severe emotional, reputational, and educational harm," and must be immediately dropped from their records.

Seth Wolfe, one of the boys' fathers, told Fox News in a statement: "This isn't just about our sons—it's about every child in Loudoun County. If the district can weaponize Title IX in this way, no family is safe. No parent should have to fear their child will be branded a 'sexual harasser' simply for standing up for their privacy."

NASA Scientist Convicted of Mortgage Fraud After Fabricating Pay Stubs To Buy $850K Luxury Home and Defaulting on the Loans

September 18, 2025

A former NASA scientist has pleaded guilty to mortgage fraud after fabricating income records to finance the purchase of an $850,000 luxury home in Texas.

Noreen Khan, 52, and her husband, Christopher Mayberry, 53, purchased the luxury home in Missouri City, TX, in 2017, when Khan was working at NASA as a space toxicologist and Mayberry was employed as a NASA contractor.

In plea agreements, Khan and Mayberry admitted to taking out numerous, significant personal loans to cover the down payment on the home based on falsified income documents, before defaulting on those loans and falsely claiming identity theft.

Court documents stated that in 2019, the couple applied for a new loan to finance the Missouri City home, but said the property would be used as an investment or resale property and not as their primary home. A loan was approved for $820,000.

The government's investigation also revealed that, in 2020, Khan tried to wipe away the loan debt by claiming her identity had been stolen and disputed the accounts on her credit report.

Kahn filed lawsuits against the creditors to try to eliminate the debt. The lenders eventually "charged off" $276,709.42 of debt owed by the couple.

It didn't end there. Court documents state that in 2021, the couple refinanced their Missouri City loan for $895,000.

During that process, an October 2020 bank statement was altered, changing the account owner's name from Khan to her husband, Mayberry.

The investigation also found that tax records and pay stubs were falsified to show that NASA was Mayberry's employer, when in actuality, Mayberry was just a NASA contractor on behalf of Mori & Associates.

All of the loans were signed by Mayberry.

Kahn resigned from NASA on Sept. 29, 2021, and closed on the refinance on Oct. 6, 2021.

The couple pleaded guilty to the fraud charges and face up to five years in federal prison and up to a $250,000 maximum fine.

They also risk losing the Missouri City home. They must also pay restitution of $276,709 before sentencing, which is set for Dec. 18.

Mortgage fraud on the rise

About 1 in 116 mortgage applications contained fraud in the second quarter of 2025, according to Cotality's National Mortgage Application Fraud Risk Index.

The data shows the two riskiest investments for mortgage fraud are investment properties and multiunit properties.

"The increase in the fraud risk can partly be attributed to the volatility starting to be seen in the real estate market," Matt Seguin, senior principal of mortgage fraud solutions, said in the Cotality report.

"Interest rate cuts haven’t come at the rate expected over the last year, so purchase transactions, which, historically speaking, have higher fraud risk, continue to represent almost 70% of the applications seen by Cotality."

Cotality analyzed data in six categories of mortgage fraud: identity, transaction, property, income, occupancy, and undisclosed real estate. The research found that every category except occupancy saw an increase in the second quarter.

The largest year-over-year increases were in undisclosed real estate debt and transaction fraud risk. Undisclosed real estate debt rose 12% this year, compared with a 5.9% decline year over year in 2024.

Transaction fraud risk increased 6.2% this year, following a 4.9% increase last year.

The study found several factors contributing to the increase in fraud, including higher insurance costs, home prices, mortgage rates, and the growing popularity of non-qualify mortgage loans—where applicants do not need to meet the strict guidelines for qualified mortgages that are set by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The three states leading the way when it comes to mortgage fraud are New York, Rhode Island, and Florida.

SpaceX Starlink Mission

September 19, 2025

Just launched.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is targeting the launch of 24 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.

This is the 10th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched NROL-126, Transporter-12, SPHEREx, NROL-57, and five Starlink missions.

Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

There is the possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the launch, but what residents experience will depend on weather and other conditions.

>>23623483 - Was he not compensated?

Yes, Israel paid compensation to the United States for the attack on the USS Liberty. In May 1968, Israel paid $3,323,500 to the U.S. government on behalf of the families of the 34 Americans killed in the attack.

A further payment of $3,566,457 was made in March 1969 to compensate the 171 crew members who were wounded.

Finally, on December 18, 1980, Israel agreed to pay $6 million as the final settlement for material damage to the ship, plus 13 years of interest, resolving the remaining claims.

These payments were made following Israel's apology, which stated the attack was a mistake due to confusion about the ship's identity.

Whomever planned this had intricate detail about how the US government operates in an emergency.

Note why is being told not to drink coffee is this the mormon extremist? Or are they pretending to be Mormon?

Law suit if I was a Mormon I would look at this as false representation of them. I think it very winnable law suit.

>>23623515

Note they are eluding to they want to take my fire arm. Which is this type of 92fs…

I have an extremist woman that wants to force me to join a sec if christianity thar seems like an occult that is against anyone not ethic enough. That they want to make anyone that is Hebrew that is made out to be a supremest unless they join their sec or religion.

I no feel nor comfortable going to any religious institutions period. I would like the Jewish and the Islamic faiths people to know I would not think to weapons this bs against their places of worship the same as christian places or worship. That these people think they are all just different grooming and human trafficking schools.

This is what is going on in this aspect is things. They also want to force me to get a tattoo I believe not this is like because I am not ethic to try to force me to be more ethic to them.

More I am very mixed I have a lot of ethic background mixed in including Native American and Mexican. It is not bough unless your African American it seems in this way.

So in order of things worst so far that are major

1) ethic discrimination against Hebrew such as Holocaust type things as in we want you to get a tattoo… this is also like testing I am not Islamic by putting pork in my food or when I order it. This is about as bad in this aspect of things.

2) implying they will be abusive if I drink coffee to try to irritate me as a way to try to force me to be a mormon. If not mormon then the Mormon church should consider suing them as defamation of character. This is because they imply that I have to be their version in Christianity.

2) trying to imply that they want to take away my fire arm for no reason what so ever in this aspect. This is a form of discrimination that they are committing as to why me and not others ad they are singling me out.

3) that they are making it hard for me to want to practice my faith in any form.

4) that they are also voter intimidation constantly to the point I took down and hid anything that is Trump on it in my own home.

5) I have people that are constantly harassing me and trying ti imply that they are government intelligence, police, FBI, CIA, and military to intimidate me and try to influence.

6) They have kidnapped my family including my father his wife my brother and sister in these aspects that they for all o know have been murdered.

7) believe they are having fake family functions and things to try to get me to go visit doubles that they have created.

8) I believe they are trying to say if you support Donald Trump we will frame you as a racist and a pedo.

9) constant skits now about gender equality are also being run and are to the point woman have sexually harassed me or violate osha laws and I can’t say anything. They double my family in ways and my boss. It is obvious not them in this aspect.

10) they have had me get into a car accident in order to search my Truck and other vehicles mult times now I believe.

11) they have people motioning to me on the road making threatening gestures quite often.

12) they are constantly implying I need to give them money or pay offs in some aspect of things

13) they want me to give them money off of jobs I bid in projects I bid.

14) they want me to strip or floss is said in auto correct in this way as a form of sexual harassment that is being done in this aspect constantly.

15) they constantly dragging our contracts and things I am doing at work as a means of harassment.

16) they are constantly hacking all electric devices that I have to the point I just understand that this how this is in these aspect. That I would not try to use anything period as they may try to frame me using social media or anything else.

17) I am almost positive they doubled me and also made fake social media accounts in ways to try to harass people that maybe I do not even know that well.

IonQ Signs MOU With DOE For Quantum In-Space Demo

September 19, 2025

Quantum computing firm IonQ ($IONQ) signed an MOU with the US Department of Energy to build on the company’s work to bring quantum tech to orbit.

Next steps: The MOU aims to allow IonQ to perform an in-orbit demo of quantum-secure comms.

The partnership will also study the use of quantum tech in space for other priorities—options include offering a secure alternative to GPS and investigating quantum networking.

“This collaboration is about turning possibility into practice, and learning by doing,” Rima Kasia Oueid, DOE senior commercialization executive and lead architect of the department-led Quantum-in-Space Collaboration that includes IonQ as a new partner, said in a statement. “This collaboration will help us seed a quantum sandbox in space to support resource exploration, and manufacturing of high-value products.”

How we got here: During the past year, IonQ has announced two important acquisitions to build out its quantum offerings.

- In January, IonQ completed its acquisition of quantum networking company Qubitekk.

- In May, it announced that it would acquire SAR imaging company Capella Space.

Bigger picture:

Quantum computing could open up many benefits for the space industry, including quickly processing and analyzing data in-orbit, tracking space debris more precisely to increase safety and cut down required maneuvering, and increasing the security of satellites and their data—something that’s of great interest to the national security and intelligence communities.

Skywatching alert! See 2 bright comets on the same night as a meteor shower this October

September 19, 2025

A long-tailed comet has been spotted close to the sun, and some astronomers are predicting it could be seen with the naked eye in mid-October — just as another comet is forecast to do the same.

It could mean two bright comets will be visible in the night sky at the same time, on the peak night of a meteor shower.

Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN), or SWAN R2 for short, was discovered on Sept. 12 by NASA's orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory, whose Solar Wind Anisotropies (SWAN) instrument is used to find comets close to the sun.

The previously unknown comet was found in SWAN's images by Vladimir Bezugly, a Ukrainian amateur astronomer, according to Universe Today, and it was initially called SWAN25B.

Three days later, the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center classified the object as a comet and renamed it C/2025 R2 (SWAN).

This long-period comet appears to orbit the sun every 22,554 years, according to EarthSky, and its tail is about the same length as five full moons.

Although SWAN R2 is still very close to the sun — passing close to Mars just after dusk, and best seen from the Southern Hemisphere, for now — that's set to change on Oct. 21, when SWAN R2 will be only 0.27 astronomical units (AU) from Earth, according to The Sky Live.

That's about one-quarter the distance from Earth to the sun.

At that time, the comet could get as bright as magnitude 4, potentially making it visible to the naked eye in dark skies, even in the Northern Hemisphere.

Earth may even pass through debris from the comet around Oct. 4-6, which could potentially cause a unique meteor shower.

Even if it doesn't brighten sufficiently to be seen with the unaided eye, the comet should be easily visible through a pair of stargazing binoculars or a good backyard telescope.

This comet has come to light just as another comet is brightening. Discovered in January by the Mount Lemmon Survey in Arizona, Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) will get closest to Earth on Oct. 21 — the same day as SWAN R2's closest approach.

Comet Lemmon will be about 0.60 AU from Earth and will be visible in the morning and evening. According to Space.com, Lemmon could also get as bright as magnitude 4, which would make it possible to see with the naked eye in a dark sky.

The best nights to see both comets — if they survive their increasingly close approaches to the sun, which is not guaranteed, and they brighten as predicted — will be Oct. 20-23, when they are closest to Earth.

Oct. 21 is the date of the new moon, when night skies will be free of moonlight. Oct. 20-21 is also the peak of the Orionid meteor shower, when about 20 "shooting stars" per hour are expected. You won't want to miss the prospect of two bright comets and meteors in a dark sky.

The last bright comet that was visible to the naked eye was C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE), in summer 2020, although in October 2024, Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) became visible through binoculars during a close approach to Earth.

US Navy robot spacecraft for satellite servicing survives punishing space test

Updated: Sep 19, 2025 05:03 AM EST

The US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has tested a robotic system, which could soon inspect, repair, and even upgrade satellites already in orbit.

NRL announced a major milestone on September 18, stating that the robotic satellite service system completed its “space-readiness testing.”

For the testing, the Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites (RSGS) payload was integrated with the Mission Robotic Vehicle (MRV) spacecraft bus.

In the thermal vacuum (TVAC), the duo battled with the punishing extremes of space — intense heat, bitter cold, and the absolute vacuum — within a specialized chamber on Earth.

This milestone is the culmination of over two decades of research and development.

NLR has partnered with Northrop Grumman’s SpaceLogistics, with additional funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for this initiative.

“This is more than a successful test, we are nearing the culmination of decades of work and partnership that began as a vision for on-orbit servicing and it’s exciting to be so close to this technology being space-qualified and ready for flight,” said Bernard Kelm, acting director of the Naval Center for Space Technology.

Geosynchronous orbit servicing

In geosynchronous orbit, some 22,000 miles (36,000 kilometers) above Earth, hundreds of satellites operate, from those used in the military to the commercial ones. However, this remote location makes inspecting, diagnosing, or repairing them impossible.

Even fully working satellites can become obsolete due to old technology, which is costly for owners. Currently, these satellites are built with expensive, heavy backup systems and extra fuel, since there is no possibility of in-orbit assistance.

But the new NRL-developed robotic servicing technology aims to change that equation.

This system will enable close inspections, orbital adjustments, hardware upgrades, and in-orbit repairs.

It features two robotic arms, avionics, and a variety of tools to safely execute Rendezvous and Proximity Operations.

In terms of tools, it is equipped with a suite of cameras, sensors, and infrared imaging to safely approach client satellites.

The RSGS’ robotic arms can perform capture, inspection, and upgrade tasks, with the ability to add new tools if required.

This technology promises to enable routine in-orbit servicing, leading to longer satellite lifespans, reduced costs, and new opportunities for innovation.

“The completion of spacecraft thermal vacuum testing marks the most critical milestone of recognizing that the NRL-developed payload and MRV are capable of working together as a system,” said Dr. Bruce Danly, NRL director of research.

Launch expected next year

The cryogenic thermal vacuum chamber testing was completed at the NRL’s Naval Center for Space Technology (NCST) in Washington, D.C., on September 5.

After this testing, the RSGS-MRV system will head to Northrop Grumman’s facility in Virginia for final integrated systems testing.

Once it reaches orbit after the launch, the MRV and its payload will first go through a checkout phase.

The system will begin a series of demonstrations, including proximity operations, rendezvous maneuvers, and client servicing.

These tasks involve everything from resolving satellite anomalies and adjusting orbits to performing hardware upgrades and inspections.

The demonstrations will ultimately prove the system’s ability to extend and improve the service life of satellites.

“With launch preparations starting soon, RSGS is poised to demonstrate its robotic capabilities in orbit for the first time, marking the beginning of a new era in resilient space operations,” the press release noted.

The launch date has not been specified, but reports suggest it is expected to take place in 2026 after initial delays.

Copper shape-memory alloy with outer space potential

19 September 2025

This has potential for space equipment and hydrogen-related technologies.

The study was led by various Japanese institutions, namely Tohoku University, Iwate University, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, the National Astronomical Observation of Japan, Tokyo City University and Kyoto University.

Shape-memory alloys can be deformed into different shapes when cold, but will revert to their original shape when heated.

However, prevalent shape-memory alloys that use nickel and titanium cannot maintain their shape-memory ability below -20°C.

While the team claims that known shape-memory alloys that can operate below -100°C are not suitable for practical implementation.

This research has reportedly developed the first functional actuator material capable of large work output at temperatures below -100°C.

Its memory foam characteristics are contributed to by 'the large entropy change in martensitic transformation even at low temperatures', says Toshihiro Omori, research lead in the Department of Materials Science at Tohoku University.

The team of researchers prototyped a mechanical heat switch using a new alloy made of copper (Cu), aluminium (Al) and manganese (Mn) as an actuator.

Four test samples of the Cu-Al-Mn alloy were made and tested as part of the study. The Cu-Al-Mn alloys contain approximately 17at% Al and 13-14at% Mn.

The one used in the actuator test was CAM#2 composed of Cu-17.24Al-13.50Mn. The optimum material was CAMN, composed of Cu-16.86Al-13.39Mn-3.12Ni at.%.

CAM#2 displayed 8.01% strain at 100MPa and 7.74% strain at 400MPa, characteristics that allowed it to work successfully in the actuator.

CAMN was not ready at the time of the actuator test but presents even better characteristics, with a strain of 6.23% at 250MPa and of 6.48% at 650MPa, with comparable strain (%) displayed in between this range.

The alloys were shown to operate effectively at -170°C, controlling heat transfer by switching between contact and non-contact states based on temperature changes.

Furthermore, the operating temperature can be adjusted by modifying its composition.

The material is manufactured using high-frequency induction melting, hot rolling, cold rolling and cycle heat treatment between 900°C and 500°C for obtaining single crystals.

Omori says this work came about because 'our research group has been investigating superelasticity at low temperatures. Superelasticity is one of the properties exhibited in shape-memory alloys.

'During our research activities, we realised that materials exhibiting some properties in low-temperature environments are required in the field of space science.'

Omori says this development paves the way for high-performance actuators that can operate even under cryogenic conditions.

Potential applications include a mechanical heat switch for cooling systems in space telescopes and for advancing hydrogen transportation and storage.
