Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced the creation of Autonomous Warfare Command, or AutoWarCom, “a functional combatant command that will lead the Joint Force in unmanned and autonomous warfare.”

Your officers and force are a joke…

YOU ARE BEING INFILTRATED!

I KNOW ITS reHARD!

There is no true unmanned autonomous system. Every artificial (SUPER) intelligence system has been coded by the same RETWARTS that are enslaving you.

They want mitary power consolidated out of the hands of the warfighter, (WE THE PEOPLE), and retained by psychopaths.

Pete Hegseth is a terrorist and infiltrator.

NO JIM CROW SIGNER BUT I PUT YOU IN THE GRINDER

Neighborhood white peacock incapacitated by mailman.

The peacock was following the mailman on a driveway, residential security footage appears to show. Initially, the mailman appears to try to wave the bird away, but he then picks up an object and throws it at the peacock, according to footage.

Security footage later shows the peacock standing near the mail truck in the roadway. The mailman emerges from the side of the mail truck and hits the bird with an object, causing the peacock to flail on the ground, unable to get up.

Thornton said her father found the peacock xlying in the street, incapacitated,' shortly after the altercation took place. The mailman had left the scene, she said.

….Pasadena Humane’s animal control division has … completed its investigation into the altercation. The team has sent the case to the District Attorney’s office for consideration of formal charges, McManus said.

The results of the animal control’s investigation were not shared as of Wednesday, Sept. 30.

The U.S. Postal Service also was reviewing the incident internally following the August attack, said Kristina Uppal, a strategic communications specialist with the USPS. As of Wednesday, Sept. 30, an active investigation with the Office of the Inspector General remains ongoing.

Uppal declined to comment further on the details of the investigation, but said that the Pasadena Post Office reached out to Pasadena Humane as early as April 2025 with the carrier’s concerns about the bird along that route.

Pasadena Humane previously said that it had no record of requests from USPS for assistance concerning peacocks in the last several years. It also had no record of any previous reports or complaints about Sugar from USPS or other members of the

…. The white peacock named Sugar was relocated to a private ranch in Northern California after recovering from his injuries incurred from a U.S. Postal Service worker in August.

NASA, International Partners Advance Work on Space Crops

Sep 30, 2026

NASA, CSA (Canadian Space Agency), and the German Aerospace Center signed a joint statement of intent to begin coordinated, preparatory work toward an Earth-based demonstrator to learn how to grow crops on the Moon, which will be essential to helping astronauts go farther and stay longer in space.

The Lunar Agriculture Module-Ground Test Demonstrator aims to develop the technologies needed to grow space crops and study how they perform under atmospheres and controlled environments similar to those expected during missions at Moon Base.

Through Moon Base, NASA and its partners will build the infrastructure to support an enduring human presence near the Moon's South Pole, advancing science and technology while preparing for future human missions to Mars.

Space crops will provide deep space crews with whole-food nutrition and increase dietary variety. They can also absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, and recycle water.

These capabilities will become increasingly important as human missions extend farther from our home planet.

SpaceX just launched the 1st US astronaut mission to embrace the 'unlucky' number 13 since the Apollo era

October 10. 2026

SpaceX just launched NASA's first mission numbered "13" in more than 50 years.

Crew-13, the 13th flight of the company's Crew Dragon capsule flying under the agency's commercial crew contract, lifted off at 11:10 a.m. EDT (1510 GMT) on Thursday (Oct. 1) from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

Commander Jessica Watkins and pilot Luke Delaney of NASA, mission specialist Joshua Kutryk with the Canadian Space Agency and mission specialist Sergey Teteryatnikov of Roscosmos are on their way to a rendezvous and docking with the International Space Station, beginning their planned five-and-a-half-month expedition.

Their time on the orbiting outpost will begin with a brief handover period with the outgoing Crew-12 astronauts, as would be expected for anyone familiar with the normal procession of numbers. But that was not always the case throughout NASA's history.

Triskaidekaphobia

NASA's first human space program to reach a 13th numbered flight was Apollo.

The April 1970 mission was planned to be the third time U.S. astronauts landed on the moon, but as now is famously known, Apollo 13 was derailed by an inflight explosion that made the flight's primary goal returning Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Dick Gordon safely to Earth.

Both before and after the flight, the crew had little concern about their mission being numbered 13. They were aware of the superstition — that "13" was an unlucky number — but if they paid any attention to it, it was to make a joke.

"I never thought of it in a superstitious sense, that we would have a problem on 13," said Haise, the mission's lunar module pilot, in a 50th anniversary interview with collectSPACE.com in 2020.

"I had no sense at all, nor do I relate to the launch time [13:13 CST] and all the other thirteens that people have tried to tie to things as being connected with the flight."

Jim Beggs reportedly felt differently. The NASA administrator when the agency reached its next 13th numbered mission in 1984, Beggs was against tempting fate.

"'There's not going to be [another] Apollo 13 or a Shuttle 13," he said, according to Bob Crippen, commander of the space shuttle's STS-41C mission, in a NASA oral history interview.

Giving in to triskaidekaphobia — the fear of the number 13 — Beggs ordered NASA to adopt a new but convoluted numbering system for all shuttle missions after STS-9.

"Hence, what would have been STS-13 became STS-41-C, where the '4' was the fiscal year [1984], the '1' was the launch site [Kennedy Space Center in Florida] and 'C' the order of launch [C was the third planned flight of the year]," said Crippen.

Beggs left office after the Challenger tragedy in 1986 and with him went the complex number and letter system. The first mission to return the space shuttle to flight — the 26th in the program's history — was designated STS-26.

It comes after 12

Before SpaceX's Crew-13, the closest NASA had come to having to consider the question was Expedition 13, the 13th crew to take up residency on the ISS. It was not, however, a solely American crew, with only a NASA astronaut, a Russian commander and German flight engineer aboard.

Other missions were not strictly the 13th, such as STS-113, which flew to the International Space Station in 2002, or were not American and so were not NASA's to decide. Russia's Soyuz TMA-13M and Soyuz MS-13 flew without so much as a black cat getting in their way.

As for Crew-13 astronauts, they seem be unfazed by reintroducing "13" to the order of U.S. missions, going so far as to style their official crew insignia after the emblem worn by the Apollo 13 astronauts.

"We took a lot of inspiration from the Apollo 13 crew as Crew-13," said Watkins, answering a question from the press gathered for their pre-launch arrival at the Kennedy Space Center.

"We have a couple of nods in terms of just the Roman numerals, the golden color [and] the dragon looking upward."

"We really wanted to honor their legacy, honor their resilience and their grit and bring a little bit of that with us on our crew," she said. "We stand on the shoulders of giants."

"We were joking a lot about being number 113," Ken Bowersox, STS-113 commander, told the press at the time. To play it safe, though, the crew's mission patch used the Roman numerals (CXIII) instead.

UnderSec sees Ramstein AB Airmen, Guardian readiness firsthand

Oct. 1, 2026

Under Secretary of the Air Force Matt Lohmeier visited with U.S. Air Forces Europe-Air Forces Africa and U.S. Space Forces in Europe and Space Forces Africa leadership, Airman and Guardians during an immersion visit at Ramstein Air Base, Sept. 24.

The visit, which included stops at the USAFE-AFAFRICA headquarters, SPACEFOREUR-AF headquarters, 86th Air Wing, 603rd Air Operations Center, and 435th Air Ground Operations Wing, provided an opportunity for Lohmeier to meet with command leaders and subject matter experts, who offered insights on current and future missions, challenges and opportunities.

“It’s a true privilege to visit Ramstein and see firsthand all the critical missions they execute in support of our warfighters,” Lohmeier said.

“The motivation, service and expertise they display give me confidence our warfighters are ready to fight and win. We, as senior leaders, need to ensure they receive the most technologically advanced capabilities to execute their mission.”

He started the day off with a workout session with SPACEFOREUR-AF Guardians and leadership, reinforcing that maintaining physical standards helps ensure military members are resilient and ready for anything the service demands of them.

“Fitness is part of readiness, and leaders have to set that example,” Lohmeier said. “Whether you are at home station, deployed or on the road, taking care of yourself physically helps ensure you are prepared to lead and accomplish the mission.”

Then Lohmeier received briefings on command missions and current operations.

He spoke with U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Jason T. Hinds, USAFE-AFAFRICA commander, to discuss how the command defends the strategic approaches to the United States and generates airpower across two continents in support of U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command.

“It was extremely valuable to meet with General Hinds to discuss how USAFE-AFAFAFRICA protects the U.S. homeland with our allies and partners,” Lohmeier said.

“It is clear that our forces project combat-ready airpower in Europe, Africa and beyond, deter aggression, and are prepared to win decisively should deterrence fail.”

He also joined Airman and Guardians for a working lunch at the installation dining facility where he heard directly about their mission challenges and successes, offering ongoing leadership support as they work to maintain readiness and a focus on warrior culture.

The visit continued with a tour of the Air Defense Operations Center, a first-of-its-kind facility in the Air Force to become operational. The ADOC is designed to detect and counter emerging aerial threats to help subject matter experts build an approach that is catered to those threats and host nation considerations throughout Europe.

Lohmeier finished the visit by meeting with U.S. Space Force Brig. Gen. Christopher Fernengel, SPACEFOREUR-AF commander, to discuss joint warfighting initiatives and integration with other combatant command components.

As a rapidly changing warfighting environment unfolds, a shared understanding and collaboration of how space capabilities are planned and employed is critical to the success of the joint force.

Lohmeier’s visit is a part of a larger European area of responsibility immersion to engage with Airmen and Guardians throughout the theater. He also recognized multiple members with coining ceremonies for their exemplary service.

“Readiness starts with our people,” Lohmeier said. “The professionalism and commitment to readiness from the Airmen and Guardians I met at Ramstein today are exactly what our Air Force needs as we prepare to defeat the threats in theater.”

Tiny thrusters 3D-printed in space

01/10/2026

The fifth metal sample 3D-printed on the International Space Station (ISS) has made its way to Earth. Made by ESA’s Metal 3D Printer onboard the station’s Columbus module, it was retrieved in July by ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot, and contains the first thrusters created in space.

Only a few months after being launched to the ISS in January 2024, the printer produced its very first complete sample, the first metal part ever created in space.

ESA’s material scientists at ESTEC, the agency’s technical heart in the Netherlands, then examined and tested it to investigate how microgravity affected its printing process.

They used their findings to improve the printing procedure for the two bigger parts of the fifth sample. The two smaller parts have been designed by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and take the form of tiny thrusters – satellite parts used for propulsion.

Florian Merz, research associate and test engineer at DLR, explains the next steps: “We have designed two versions of the thruster: one manufactured as closely as possible to the desired shape, and one with thicker walls that allow for post-processing to refine the thruster’s inner diameter.

“At our vacuum test bench in Lampoldshausen, Germany, we will assess the functionality and performance of the thrusters in hot-fire tests under representative operating conditions, demonstrating that space-manufactured components can achieve the precision required for propulsion and withstand relevant temperatures and pressures.”

Sonja Steinbach, DLR’s project manager, adds: “By comparing the space-manufactured thrusters with equivalent components produced on Earth, we can investigate how microgravity influences the manufacturing process and how these effects translate into the performance of the finished components. The results will help us further optimise metal 3D printing for future in-space manufacturing.”

“Even though we have already received four samples from the ISS at ESTEC, the thrill of opening these very special packages remains the same,” comments Rob Postema, ESA’s technical officer of the project.

Norway probes senior state officials’ Epstein links

Eleven current and former foreign and development ministers face parliamentary questioning over government grants and contacts linked to the late US sex offender

Norway’s parliament has begun a public inquiry into ties the country’s political and diplomatic elite had with US pedophile and financier Jeffrey Epstein. Eleven current and former foreign and development ministers, including Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere, who served as foreign minister from 2005 to 2012, will face questioning.

The Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice earlier this year revealed his often toxic connections to politicians, royals, and other prominent figures, for whom he is thought to have provided underage girls for sex. The disclosures have prompted parliamentary and police investigations in Norway.

The Norwegian parliamentary Standing Committee on Scrutiny and Constitutional Affairs is examining the Foreign Ministry’s handling of international aid funds, internal oversight mechanisms, and whether personal relationships involving Epstein may have influenced government decisions. Committee member Jonas Andersen Sayed has said the government must explain what it is doing to restore trust in the foreign service.

Questions are also swirling over Norway’s funding of the International Peace Institute (IPI), which received around 130 million kroner ($13.5 million) from the Foreign Ministry between 1997 and 2018. The international think tank was led by Norwegian diplomat Terje Roed-Larsen from 2005 to 2020.

Norway, home to the Nobel Peace Prize and a longstanding player in international diplomacy, has faced heightened scrutiny over Epstein’s connections to its political and diplomatic circles.

Roed-Larsen, a central figure in the 1990s Middle East peace talks and a key architect of the 1993 Oslo Accords, is among several prominent Norwegians under investigation by Norway’s economic crime authority, Oekokrim, following the disclosure of the Epstein files.

Former Prime Minister Thorbjoern Jagland and former diplomat Mona Juul are also under investigation. Juul and Jagland are suspected of aggravated corruption, while Roed-Larsen is suspected of complicity in aggravated corruption. All three have denied wrongdoing.

Former Foreign Minister Boerge Brende, meanwhile, testified before the committee after stepping down as president and CEO of the World Economic Forum in February amid scrutiny of his contacts with Epstein.

Separately, the parliament has appointed an independent commission of academics and legal experts to examine matters raised by the Epstein files. The commission is due to submit its findings by January 31, 2028.
