PUTTING THE “MEGA” IN MEGACONSTELLATION:
Two months ago, headlines announced a Space Age milestone: SpaceX now has more than 10,000 active Starlink satellites circling Earth–two-thirds of all the working satellites in the sky. Analysts were gobsmacked by the pace of change. Turns out, that’s nothing. Back in January, SpaceX had already filed paperwork asking the FCC for permission to launch a million. The proposed megaconstellation would become a solar-powered AI data center requiring hourly rocket launches carrying a million tons of satellites per year. Condemnation was swift.

U.S. President Donald Trump warns Oman not to “interfere” in the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Otherwise, bombardment awaits.

Then came a warning to Oman, which Iranian media had claimed earlier in the day would handle shipping traffic in the strait together with Iran. Oman should behave, just like everyone else; otherwise we will have to blow them up, the president said.

Next Drone War: Hidden Shipping Containers Launching Kamikaze Swarms
Continuing our theme that the endgame in drone warfare is nowhere near complete, and in many ways is only just beginning, a U.S. company called DZYNE Technologies has developed a containerized mass-launch system for kamikaze drones. Under the guise of a regular shipping container, DZYNE’s BlitzBox signals the next phase of drone wars: not just cheaper drones, but the ability to launch them at scale from concealed, mobile, and rapidly deployable platforms. Asymmetric and irregular warfare is shifting into hyperdrive.

Could the Iran War End with Tehran’s Uranium in China’s Vaults?
When American and Iranian negotiators first began sketching the contours of a ceasefire framework, the central verification problem was always the same: where does the uranium go? In 2015, the answer was Russia. That infrastructure no longer exists. Furthermore, reports emerging from the current round of negotiations suggest Tehran is now considering something far more consequential: transferring its stockpile of 60 percent enriched uranium to China.
Jewish Man Appeals To US Supreme Court After City Requires Him To Obtain A Permit To Pray In His Home
Attorneys with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe and Alliance Defending Freedom filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court urging it to hear the case of a devout Orthodox Jew suing the city of University Heights, Ohio. In January 2021, Daniel Grand e-mailed a dozen friends to invite them to his home to pray as a minyan, a “threshold requirement for the most sacred acts of Jewish communal worship,” that upcoming Sabbath. But when city officials found out about the e-mail, and before any minyan convened, the city demanded that Grand “immediately cease and desist any and all” uses of his home as a “place of religious assembly” unless he first obtained a special use permit, which the city requires for houses of worship in residential districts.
