Trump ordered a show of force on Oct 18th, directing the military to fire rockets over a California highway to intimidate US civilians. A rocket malfunctioned & detonated, damaging JD Vance’s security detail. Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's decision to close the highway saved lives.

A coaxial flow gas-core nuclear reactor where a 'fuel jet' of uranium is surrounded by hydrogen and scooped up to prevent it escaping:
ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citation...
Achieves 40-90 kW/kg at 2000s Isp, shielding included, but the scoop's leading edge must survive 800 MW/m^2 heating.

The international Cassini mission ended #OTD in 2017, when the spacecraft's trajectory, in orbit around Saturn since July 2004, took it into planet's upper atmosphere and the probe burned up in order to prevent any risk of contaminating Saturn's moons.
