Journalist focused on tech and science reporting. Also keen on history and climate issues. Currently looking for a new role.
Remembering how the Secretary of Defense recently posted a "US Department of War" video montage featuring the Lord's Prayer and scenes of him praying with the troops, along with a lot of US military aircraft, tanks and warships.

I've had a @flightradar24.com alert set for NASA's experimental Lockheed Martin X-59 aircraft for months, so it was nice to see it take off for its first (subsonic) test flight on Oct 28th.

The aircraft design is intended to show how to reduce the disruptive shockwaves from supersonic air travel.

Tuesday, October 28 update. @flightradar24.com showed both NOAA and Air Force hurricane hunter aircraft monitoring Hurricane Melissa again this morning.

Now NOAA's hurricane hunters aboard "Kermit" are flying back toward the storm again after a midday break.

NOAA's hurricane hunters may finally be heading home after spending much of their Sunday flying throughout Hurricane Melissa to monitor the storm's progress toward Jamaica and Haiti.

Like other NOAA staff deemed essential, they have been working without pay during the US government shutdown.

Latest @flightradar24.com image showing the NOAA hurricane hunter aircraft "Kermit" flying a monitoring pattern through Hurricane Melissa.

Heck of a job to do while missing paychecks during the US government shutdown.

NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.

The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

Tony Gilroy, showrunner for the stellar Star Wars series Andor, said plans to release the full script of the show's first season were scuttled because of concerns that companies would train AI models on the writing.
