SpaceX Suffers a “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly”! (21.4.2023)

SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket, collectively referred to as Starship, represent a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond.

Starship will be the world’s most powerful launch vehicle ever developed, capable of carrying up to 150 metric tonnes fully reusable and 250 metric tonnes, according to SpaceX.

To date, the SpaceX team has completed multiple sub-orbital flight tests of Starship’s upper stage from Starbase, and also conducted numerous tests of the Super Heavy rocket, which include the increasingly complex static fires that led to a full-duration 31 Raptor engine test, according to SpaceX.

NASA awarded SpaceX contracts worth several billions of U.S. dollars to use Starship to ferry American astronauts to the surface of the moon under the space agency’s Artemis program.

NASA has announced plans to use a Starship to put astronauts on the lunar surface in 2025.

Alchemy: Phlogiston – A Retrospective! (10.4.2023) 

I think the theory of ‘Phlogiston’ was a good first effort and is certainly more realistic than suggesting that a disembodied theistic entity is controlling everything ‘from afar’ just as an act of arbitrary will! This theory even covered the human-breath – which was ‘hot’ because ‘Phlogiston’ was being ‘breathed-out’! If not enough ‘Phlogiston’ was breathed-out – then the human body would literally ‘burn-up’ and a fever would develop! Of course, modern Chemistry has replaced Alchemy and has long since washed away virtually all of the original foundation that once formed the bulwark of human logic in the face of theological domination. It is now understood that when substances ‘burn’ – nothing is ‘given-up’ – but rather a chemical reaction is experienced. Combustion is a chemical reaction that rapidly combines various substances with oxygen – generating heat and light in the form of a flame as a useful by-product. Whereas the ‘inverted’ thinking of religiosity was inadvertently retained through the theory of ‘Phlogiston’ (i.e., ‘something is lost’) – the non-inverted reality regarding the correct scientific interpretation of combustion – is that ‘something is gained’! This demonstrates just how powerful outdated or outmoded systems of thought are – even if it is believed that certain approaches to understanding reality have been firmly rejected and left in the past.

Ideological Update! (5.4.2023)

The point is that these errors, once understood as such, should be corrected immediately! Centralised democracy is designed to ‘limit’ these errors and maximise expertise in all circumstances. The liberal democracy of the capitalist system, however, is premised upon these beneficial errors that cause endless suffering to the masses but which are profitable to the ruling elites! These errors are NEVER corrected and become part of the capitalist Establishment! As a body politique – these capitalistic errors become the basis of ALL fascistic movements! As Scientific Socialists striving to build ‘Communism’ – we are committed to pursuing a ‘correct’ shining path of Revolution that leads to the non-defined ‘Communist’ state of existence!

China: Medical Experts Stress the Use of “Science” in Seeking COVID-19 Origins! (4.4.2023)

“The data have neither been removed nor deleted since they were added. In accordance with the usual practice of publication, and by agreement with the journal and GISAID, the data are released simultaneously with formal publication, but the link to access the data for journal review has always existed,” the scientists wrote.

However, they stressed that all these data only showed that the market acted as “an early amplifier during the pandemic due to the high number of consumers every day, resulting in many of the initially identified infection clusters”.

“The origin of the virus involving animal-to-human transmission cannot be determined based on current data,” they wrote.

The researchers said that hypotheses and conclusions presented in the report released by the WHO in March 2021 are both scientific and objective.

They added that tracing the origins of the virus is a scientific issue that requires scientific evidence and logical inference. Determining the origins of the novel coronavirus may still be a long way off.

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jung Un Personally ‘Guided’ Nuclear Testing Programme! (28.3.2023)

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said that we must never be satisfied with the work of establishing a thorough response posture for our nuclear force and that we must continue to strive for the ceaseless strengthening of our nuclear force. He said that nuclear weapons will never be used (only developed for self-defence), and only when an unimaginably powerful and superior nuclear force is deployed against the DPRK, the enemy will be deterred and will be afraid of us – not daring to touch our national sovereignty, system and people.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said that in order to thoroughly carry out the Party Central Committee’s plan to exponentially increase the number of nuclear weapons possessed by the Nuclear Weapons Institute and the nuclear power sector, production of weapons-grade nuclear materials should be expanded with the prospect of encouraging a continuous production of powerful nuclear weapons. In doing so, he set forth essential tasks for the nuclear weapons research institute and the nuclear sector.

The scientists and officials of the Nuclear Weapons Research Institute, who once again accepted the direct guidance of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, are always faithful to the important missions given by the Party and the Revolution, the country and the people, and have produced powerful nuclear weapons as befits the reliable “nuclear deterrents” of our Party. We expressed a fierce determination to faithfully defend the sacred Revolutionary Cause of Juche. (End)
