Missouri Elementary School Contaminated With Radioactive Waste
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: military, nuclear energy
Sign up for the Morning Brief email newsletter to get weekday updates from The Weather Channel and our meteorologists.
A new report shows there is a significant amount of radioactive contamination inside an elementary school in suburban St. Louis, near where waste was dumped from a World War II nuclear weapons factory.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been working for years to clean up toxic waste near the St. Louis Lambert International Airport, where byproducts from the weapons manufacturing were dumped near a waterway called Coldwater Creek.

Space Force will be one of the first customers of a new gas station in space
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: military, satellites
This week, in-space refueling company Orbit Fab won a $13.3 million USSF contract to gas up geostationary (GEO) military satellites starting in 2025. Under the four-year contract, which was first reported by Bloomberg, the Colorado-based space startup will deliver hydrazine propellant to at least one Space Force satellite in GEO.
If you build it, they will come
Jeremy Schiel, cofounder and chief development officer of Orbit Fab, says he expects the Defense Department’s buy-in to boost the company’s credibility on the commercial market.

Astronomers just spotted the most powerful flash of light ever seen
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: cosmology, military, satellites
Astronomers just detected what may be the most powerful flash of light ever seen.
The so-called gamma-ray burst, the most energetic type of electromagnetic explosion known to exist in the universe, was first spotted by telescopes Sunday (Oct. 9).
Gamma-ray bursts, which were discovered accidentally by U.S. military satellites in the 1960s, are likely produced when giant stars explode at the ends of their lives before collapsing into black holes, or when ultradense stellar remnants known as neutron stars collide. Within seconds, these explosions unleash as much energy as the sun will emit during its entire 10-billion-year lifetime.

West makes plans to avoid panic if Russia uses nuclear bomb in Ukraine
Posted by Dan Kummer in category: military
Its still too early for nukes. i expect some weird event to escalate into a full scale conventional war between Russia vs. Nato; Russia will attempt an invasion into europe. When that takes place China decides might as well try an invasion across asia. India will be issue in doubt. All ^ above will last 3 to 6 months. Nukes will be end of it, when it takes place, ignore Anyone tellin you to Stay Inside of a blast zone, and run.
Western officials are engaged in “prudent planning” behind the scenes to prevent chaos and panic in their home countries in the event Russia was to detonate a nuclear bomb in or near Ukraine.
Although a nuclear crisis is considered highly unlikely, the insider said officials internationally were re-examining plans to provide emergency support and reassurance to populations fearful of nuclear escalation.

Quantum camera snaps objects it cannot ‘see’
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: military, quantum physics, satellites
Circa 2008 0.0!
A normal digital camera can take snaps of objects not directly visible to its lens, US researchers have shown. The “ghost imaging” technique could help satellites take snapshots through clouds or smoke.
Physicists have known for more than a decade that ghost imaging is possible. But, until now, experiments had only imaged the holes in stencil-like masks, which limited its potential applications.

China is developing AI-camouflaged ‘invisible’ missile launchers for future warfare
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: drones, military, robotics/AI, satellites
The launchers are for DF-17 missiles, which can allegedly breach U.S. missile defenses.
China is making launchers for its series of road-mobile missiles named “Dongfeng,” which could avoid being detected by drones, radars, and satellites.
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology will be utilized for the Dongfeng launchers, South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported on Thursday, quoting Chinese state TV broadcaster CCTV.

The Psychology of Artificial Superintelligence
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: biotech/medical, military, robotics/AI
This book explores the psychological impact of advanced forms of artificial intelligence. How will it be to live with a superior intelligence? How will the exposure to highly developed artificial intelligence (AI) systems change human well-being? With a review of recent advancements in brain–computer interfaces, military AI, Explainable AI (XAI) and digital clones as a foundation, the experience of living with a hyperintelligence is discussed from the viewpoint of a clinical psychologist. The theory of universal solicitation is introduced, i.e. the demand character of a technology that wants to be used in all aspects of life. With a focus on human experience, and to a lesser extent on technology, the book is written for a general readership with an interest in psychology, technology and the future of our human condition. With its unique focus on psychological topics, the book offers contributions to a discussion on the future of human life beyond purely technological considerations.
