A very relevant article by SpiderOak Mission Systems Executive Chairman Charles Beames in Forbes this week titled: “Why Kennan’s Containment Strategy Ensures Defeat in the 2nd Space Race.”  In it Charles argues that Kennan’s strategy to contain the USSR was brilliant when national security was largely measured by lines on a map, whereas today power no longer exists solely in the physical realm, in fact most of it exists in the digital world, in e-commerce, networks, apps, and contracts stored in the cloud and that basing our security in space on Kennan’s approach is not just inadequate, it’s dangerous because it creates the illusion of security without ensuring it.

Proud to have EpiSci's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) AIR award covered in Aviation Week Network. "EpiSci and our sub, PhysicsAI, are the only teams who participated in the original AlphaDogfight Trials, are currently performers on the Air Combat Evolution Program (ACE) and are now also performers on the AIR program. Earlier this month, the Secretary of the Air Force safely experienced fully AI-controlled flight and high-G combat maneuvers in a modified F-16 controlled by our AI agents. The AIR program allows us to continue this proud history of excellence in air combat autonomy.” - Dan "Animal" Javorsek, PhD https://lnkd.in/gfD7Bz-q Bo Ryu, Dan "Animal" Javorsek, PhD, Epiphany Ryu, Chris Gentile, Chris Cotting, Matthew Niemiec, Nadja Adilovic, Louis Dube #TacticalAI #DefenseTech #DARPA #AlphaDogfight #ACE #PhysicsAI

Another Space Debris Event: Atlas 5 Centaur Fragmentation Slingshot Aerospace has just reported that an ATLAS 5 CENTAUR (43227 / 2018-022B) has broken up in a High Earth Orbit (HEO). Estimated fragmentation time of 2024-09-06 05:21 UTC. This is the FOURTH such event from an ATLAS 5 CENTAUR upper stage, with only two acknowledged by the United States so far. #spacesustainability #spacedebris #debris #spacesafety #space #spacetug

Eric Berger's new book (great excerpt by Ars Technica) gets to how deep the problem is inside NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Phil McAlister is a national hero and kudos to William. Gerstenmaier for doing the right thing. I love our national space agency, but the group-think by the old guard at NASA is a problem. China is coming. The only way to beat China is to better leverage commercial entrepreneurs. We can't beat China by beating them at being better at socialism (big government programs). NASA needs to be doubling down on commercial partnerships. Instead NASA is like a deer in the headlights. We need a new generation of leadership at NASA that has conviction on commercial partnerships is needed. This is not a nice-to-have ... it is critical to our long-term national security. https://lnkd.in/eCPSEgpp
