The Russians Now Have a Hypersonic Missile
I’m only posting this now, because Vlad Putin is Russian Orthodox and the Orthodox Church doesn’t celebrate Christmas until January. And that’s getting close. Vlad is pawing the ground and snorting. He can now claim a successful launch of a hypersonic missile (a/k/a a glide vehicle, per the story) as his ultimate answer to the […]
Nuke Nerd Alert!
It seems that Vlad Putin is taking a stab at using nuclear-powered rockets to send stuff to Mars. Now, considering that rocket propulsion systems require a “push” to reach delta V (escape velocity, as shown in the Soyuz MS-10 photo), it is not clear exactly how the Russians intend to produce that effect.

The Russian government is continuing trade with the Norks, but in a more moderated way. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-northkorea-trade-idUSKCN1B81BO According to Galushka’s statement, the Russian government is sticking to the guidelines […]
We Gonna Show You!!
It’s the usual stuff with Norkiland: we gonna bump up missiles, we gonna launch ‘em at you, we gonna show you we Da Big Cheeses. We gonna bomb Guam!!! So the threats toward Guam didn’t work. Guam went about its day-to-day business. Guamaians got interviewed by reporters who may have never heard of that US […]
