@COMSPOC

Space Sustainability time at #SGC2022! We got
Dan Oltrogge of @COMSPOC, @LecasMorgane of @astroscale_HQ, and Al Tadros of @RedwireSpace on stage.

Livestream is here:

Dan starting off by recognizing that we are past the era of "space is big, don't worry about it."

Between ASATs, megaconstellations, and a very busy LEO, we can't ignore it anymore. Even if only ~25% of the orbit applications actually turn into reality.

@COMSPOC

@COMSPOC is an #SSA company who is thus quite invested in space sustainability.

@astroscale_HQ is a space debris removal company (who have an excellent podcast, btw)

@RedwireSpace does a lot of space hardware including sensors

The possibility of a #parallel govt — capable of rallying several presidential candidates & other anti-Dabaiba forces — has been pre-announced by #Aqila for months.

Such an entity may indeed emerge now.

Beyond symbolism & posturing, will it affect the current reality?

Militarily, bcos Dabaiba has secured the mobilization of Mahjub, Halbus, & al-Jahawi, Bashagha won’t be in a position to contribute much in Misrata, Tajura, or Tripoli itself.

For the #parallel govt to create pain for Dabaiba, it’ll have to consider being in cahoots w/ the #SSA.

In the eventuality above, a new #parallel govt may pull off truly bothersome disruptions in the greater #Tripoli area, but Dabaiba will not be removed from power by force in the foreseeable future.

No can do.

The Turkish-backed setup now protecting the PM is just too formidable

செல்வமகள் திட்டம்ன்னு நம்பி போய் பணத்தை அதுல போடாதீங்க. அவங்க உங்களுக்கு தர்ற வட்டி 6.6% (புதிய வட்டி). வருடாந்திர பணவீக்கம் 4.5-5%. உங்க மகளுக்கு கிடைக்கிற net returns வெறும் 2% க்கு கீழதான்.

#செல்வமகள் சேமிப்பு திட்டத்துல முதலீடு பண்றத முதல்ல நிறுத்துங்க. #SSA

இந்த மாசத்துலேர்ந்து, தனியா ஒரு டீமேட் அக்கௌன்ட் ஓபன் பண்ணி, மாசா மாசம் ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட தொகையை பங்குகளாகவோ, mutual fund யூனிட்டாகவோ வாங்கி சேமியுங்கள். 20 வருஷம் கழிச்சி திருமணம் நடக்கும் தருவாயில், உங்கள் மகள் கோடீஸ்வரி. #SSA

செல்வமகள் திட்டத்துல பணத்தை போட்டா, திட்டத்து பேர்ல மட்டும்தான் செல்வம் இருக்கும். உங்க மகள் கிட்ட இருக்காது. நினைவுல வச்சிக்கோங்க. #SSA was created by govt to borrow money from the public at lesser rates. Not the other way around.

The Revolving Door Project

@revolvingdoorDC

THREAD: When it comes to political appointees, the Trump admin has 1 standard: personal loyalty to the president. In typical norm breaking fashion, applicants for political positions have been asked to their describe public commentary on Mr. Trump

1/8

Political appointees are also subject to “reinterviews” to further test their loyalty. Those who fail to advance Trump’s agenda are swiftly removed. At RDP we are wary of these lasting appointees who have survived the admin’s loyalty tests.

2/8

While the vast majority of Trump’s loyalists will step down on Biden’s inauguration day, a small but powerful group will not. These appointees could sabotage a federal government that works in the public’s interest.

3/8
