For both military and civilian applications, launching satellites into orbit has long been both useful and incredibly expensive. But
over the last decade, the costs to put payload into orbit have shrunk dramatically, driven by launchers like the SpaceX Falcon 9 & Falcon Heavy while the number of satellites in orbit has exploded. And now, with tests proceeding with the two-stage Starship super-heavy, it may be that even cheaper access to space is on the horizon. In this episode we explore why demand for orbital assets is increasing, how the US retook top spot in the Space Race, and what...

The studied Psittacosaurus under natural (upper half) and UV light (lower half). (Zixiao
Yang, Author provided) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Strong but light, beautiful and precisely structured, feathers are the most complex skin appendage that ever evolved in vertebrates. Despite the fact humans have been playing with feathers since prehistory, there's still a lot we don't understand about them. Our new study found that some of the first animals with feathers also had scaly skin like reptiles. Following the debut of the first feathered dinosaur, Sinosauropteryx prima, in 1996, a surge of discoveries has painted an ever more interesting picture of feather evolution....

When you fight a war against a backdrop of shortages, emerging threats and Slavic ingenuity, perhaps it's not surprising that you end up with a bunch of systems being used that aren't exactly factory standard. One
of the first images of the Russian invasion were tanks equipped with add-on overhead cages, but in 2024 the most extreme examples of anti-drone protection now include vehicles with entire structures built over them to provide near all round protection. In this episode, I look at vehicle modification in Ukraine, examine some of the main classes of modification and ad-hoc vehicles we've seen and...

How Scientists Discovered the Staggering Complexity of Human Evolution

Scientific America ^
| September 2018 | Kate Wong
Of Homo sapiens, Darwin made only a passing mention on the third-to-last page of the tome, noting coyly that "light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history." That's
it. That is all he wrote about the dawning of the single most consequential species on the planet.

What Bronze Age teeth say about the evolution of the human diet
|

EurekAlert! ^
| March 27, 2024 | Oxford University Press USA
A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, published by Oxford Univeristy Press, uncovers well-preserved microbiomes from two 4,000 year old teeth in a limestone cave in Ireland. These contained bacteria that cause gum disease, as well as the first high quality ancient genome from S. mutans, an oral bacterium that is
one of the major causes of tooth decay.These discoveries allowed the researchers to assess the impact of past dietary changes on the oral microbiome across millennia, including major changes coinciding with the popularization of sugar and industrialization. The teeth, both derived from the same Bronze Age man, also...

Long threads about evolution.

Does anyone remember those long threads about evolution a few years ago? There
was one poster that was always jumping on to argue, I think in favor of it. Can't remember their name or I could look some up. If you could post link to one I'd like to read some.

The De-evolution of the West

American Thinker ^
| 31 Jan, 2024 | Robert Weissberg
It has been said that intellectuals can reduce a city of stone to sand. Unfortunately,
this is especially true as today’s “thinking class” wages all-hands-on deck warfare against Western Civilization. The most prominent of these attacks is the Diversity, Inclusion and Equity (DIE) movement but DIE is not, however, the only assault. Less obvious, but of no less importance, is how “scholars” now attack Western Civilization by celebrating, “indigenous” cultures that had largely been replaced by Western Civilization. These enemies are not romantics wanting to “return to nature” by living off the grid sans modern conveniences. Rather, the enemies of...

Stephan's Quintet cluster of galaxies Photo: NASA, ESA, CSA, STSCI ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In part 1 and part 2 of this series of articles on how cosmic evolution developed with neither expansion nor a Big Bang, we saw how electromagnetic forces formed huge filaments of current and plasma. Then
gravitation and magnetism combined to collapse these filaments into a hierarchy of stars, galaxies, clusters and superclusters of galaxies. When stars formed, a new process came to dominate evolution: fusion of nuclei in the dense stars, releasing immense amounts of energy and creating the chemical elements. The cosmos is still in this phase...

overwhelming mass of astronomical evidence accumulated over decades, including recent data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.

his sense of smell while trying to make it as a land prey animal 4 Nearly all of his musculature, in an age when muscle mattered That's a really stupid plan. Who dreams that sort of thing up??You could devise a new eligion by taking the single stupidest...

What’s better than a cargo e-bike for hauling goods around the city with zero emissions? A
cargo e-bike that can pull an electrified trailer or two behind it, capable of hauling up to 1000 pounds of payload cleanly and silently. For dense urban areas, factories, and campus-based businesses and organizations, the Pelican Train looks to be a next level option for getting a lot of stuff where it needs to go, without the noise and pollution of an internal combustion engine. The French startup Pelican now offers a unique take on the electric cargo bike — not so much the...

John 8:32: The Devil, Big Bang, Evolution, Extraterrestrials and the Genesis Problem

| 10/23 | Linda Kimball
One of the devil’s greatest achievements in our age of biological science and evolutionary thinking has been to convince natural science-and-evolution worshipping Westerners to believe that all that exists is the evolving universe of matter and energy (naturalism). The
only problem, and it’s a really big one because unresolvable, is that though evolutionists have tried several different anti-creation models of the universe none can account for life, conscious life, and information. Additionally, recent research has shot their models full of holes, leaving evolutionists with the hated Big Bang model.In a 2012 editorial, “The Genesis Problem,” New Scientist editors admit that...

Videos of Hamas attack suggest a chilling evolution of jihadist tactics

| October 27, 2023 | By Anna Schecter
The brutality and elation of Hamas militants as they killed Israeli civilians — including babies, young children and the elderly — is evident in an Israeli government compilation of videos shown to two dozen journalists in New York on Friday. Israeli officials said they showed the compilation to President Joe Biden when
he visited Israel on October 18th. They also showed it to a group of journalists in Israel, including NBC’s Raf Sanchez, on Wednesday. The atrocities depicted suggest that jihadism has evolved in chilling and perverse new ways. Throughout the roughly 45 minutes of footage, the attackers cheered as...

Abiogenesis is such an obvious embarrassment to modern pagan materialists that today some scientists such as SETI researcher Paul Davies and Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the DNA molecule, have abandoned it in favor of another magic science theory…panspermia.More Magical Thinking: Fallen Angels Do Not Exist But Highly Evolved Extraterrestrials DoPanspermia is the
idea that life on earth was accidentally seeded by meteorites containing the essential building blocks of life or perhaps by highly evolved extraterrestrials who for billions of years have been guiding the evolution of man.

The Evolution of the American Police State

| 20 Sep, 2023 | Steve McCann
With the unconscionable persecution of the January 6th protesters, the unabashed government censorship of speech, the weaponization of federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and the egregious abuse of presidential executive orders and emergency declarations, the American police state is no longer a hypothetical possibility but an increasingly indisputable reality. While
imperceptibly evolving over many decades, the emergence of the American police state was significantly accelerated with the overreaction to the September 11, 2001 terror attack. Even more important was the Covid 19 pandemic that dramatically increased the momentum toward a police state as once a people are terrorized it...

Raising the New Tower–Occult Evolution: Antediluvian, Babylonian, and Modern Expressions

Throughout the West and here in America a slash-and-burn operation conducted against the Genesis account, particularly its’ literal and historical elements, is justified by the false idea that evolution is empirical science, thus intolerance of special creation is often presented as a ‘science versus religion’ or ‘faith versus reason’ issue. So
successful has this war of attrition been that younger generations of Westerners and Americans have been disconnected from both Western history and its’ founding Christian-based worldview, thus like seedlings recently popped up from barren soil are unconcerned that special creation, where the ultimate source of life, consciousness, soul (inner...

Comprehensive panels of "reversion mutations" found in general circulation look like an experiment On August 5th 2023 a Japanese research team published a pre-print that appears to contain the most important and shocking revelations of the covid era. Atsuki
Tanaka and Takayuki Miyazawa, of Osaka Medical University and Kyoto University, wanted to trace the historical evolution of the omicron variant of SARS-CoV2 by studying viral sequences found "in the wild" and deposited in public databases. In doing this they found around 100 separate omicron subvariants that could not conceivably have arisen through natural processes. The existence of these variants seems...
