       In low-key important space news, part of the Northrop Grumman (ex-Orbital ATK, ex-Morton Thiokol) facility that makes large solid rockets blew up last week. That could have significant schedule impacts to SLS and Vulcan.https://www.ksl.com/article/51297610/northrop-grumman-says-no-solid-rocket-motors-destroyed-in-promontory-explosion

       @simonbp@social.linux.pizza western countries have been in "war mode" the last few years ramping up production of all weapons, forcing taiwanese companies to manufacture chips in usa, steel tarrifs (one of the most important war materials), there's been quite a few weapon factory explosions like this one  last 2 years as production gets maxed out

       @simonbp@social.linux.pizza western countries have been in "war mode" the last few years ramping up production of all weapons, forcing taiwanese companies to manufacture chips in usa, removing as much as possible any chinese equipment from telecom networks in five eyes countries, steel tarrifs (one of the most important war materials), there's been quite a few weapon factory explosions like this one (article mentions in passing the nuclear missiles it makes) last 2 years as production gets maxed out. Now all they have left to do is force a war and amp up the "china bad" mefia articles...
