  • Rules for the Heavens: the Coming Revolution in Space and the Laws of War
    RULES FOR THE HEAVENS: THE COMING REVOLUTION IN SPACE AND THE LAWS OF WAR John Yoo* Great powers are increasing their competition in space. Though Russia and the United States have long relied on satellites for surveillance of rival nations’ militaries and the detection of missile launches, the democratization of space through technological advancements has allowed other nations to assert greater control. This Article addresses whether the United States and other nations should develop the space-based weapons that these policies promise, or whether they should cooperate to develop new international agreements to ban them. In some areas of space, proposals for regulation have already come too late. The U.S.’s nuclear deterrent itself depends cru- cially on space: ballistic missiles leave and then re-enter the atmosphere, giving them a global reach without serious defense. As more nations develop nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) technology, outer space will become even more important as an arena for defense against weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation. North Korea’s progress on ICBM and nuclear technology, for example, will prompt even greater in- vestment in space-based missile defense systems. This Article makes two contributions. First, it argues against a grow- ing academic consensus in favor of a prohibition on military activities in space. It argues that these scholars over-read existing legal instruments and practice. While nations crafted international agreements to bar WMDs in outer space, they carefully left unregulated reconnaissance and commu- nications satellites, space-based conventional weapons, antisatellite sys- tems, and even WMDs that transit through space, such as ballistic missiles.

  • Space Firms See Launch Risk from Low Oxygen Supply Amid Pandemic 30 August 2021, by Justin Bachman, Bloomberg News
    Space firms see launch risk from low oxygen supply amid pandemic 30 August 2021, by Justin Bachman, Bloomberg News infections have filled hospitals. Some Florida cities, including Orlando and Tampa, have imposed water-use restrictions because some water-treatment plants use oxygen in the sanitizing process. Labor shortages among commercial truck drivers, which must have specialized training to transport some gasses such as oxygen, have also compounded the supply bottlenecks, Craig said. Beyond rocketry, liquid oxygen (commonly called LOX) is used in welding and in the production of steel, paper, glass, chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

If there’s no sidewalk, walk on the side of the road facing traffic. Don’t crisscross back and forth across the street. Work your way up one side of the street, and then start on the other. If you have any allergies, tell the person who is giving out the treats. Don’t eat any of your treats before you get home. Once home, ask your parents to look through your treats with you to make sure everything is okay. COSTUME IDEAS The Halloween Party Are you stuck for a Halloween By Kenn Nesbitt costume this year?
