TRUMP SAYS MUSK IS A "BIG TIME DRUG ADDICT":  IS HE DRUGGING HIMSELF INTO BANKRUPTCY?

If you believe the reports, Trump knew this in April.  I suspect it was someone working for Trump who leaked the story to the NYT.  Evey DOGE loss in the courts will now be placed on Musk.   I love no one will investigate whether Trump hid this truth from the public. 

A SPACE TRAVEL NOTE:

A GRAPHIC I WOULD MAKE IF I COULD:  THE TRILLIONS BACKING TRUMP, V. THE BILLIONS BACKING MUSK:  MUSK HAS ONLY CHUMP CHANGE COMPARED TO TRUMP

In 23 years, I will be 100.  I will not see us living on Mars.  This is a mission without a source of income to finance it.  Maybe as Musk collapses people will see the folly in the Mars mission.  He can no longer try and manipulate the US to fund his Mars folly.  It is time we end it.  

Musk's threat to decommission the only system caring our astronauts to and from the ISS, was a direct threat to our national security.  If Musk stays with SpaceX, the US must move to another provider for spacecraft.  There is no walking back from a threat to compromise our national security. 

We need to invest in exploration of our oceans.  We need to find a way to feed a planet running out of farmland.  We need to find viable alternative fuels to replace fossil fuels.

How about instead of giving money to Musk, we invest in our planet.

THE MARS FOLLY IS BASED ON A NOTION WE WILL DESTROY OUR PLANET AND NEED TO OCCUPY MARS.  

I DO SUPPORT THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, BUT BE CAREFUL, CHINA JUST DID THE UNIMAGINABLE:  THE FIRST SPACE BACTERIUM FOUND ON THEIR INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

This is not an earth bacterium which got transported to the Chinese Space Station.  It is a morphed bacterium using space and one from earth.  For now, it appears harmless, but will the next one be harmless?  We have no idea how it will react if released into the earth system.  Space may be holding it at bay. 

"It is microscopic and rod-shaped, can create spores, and may have evolved to survive hundreds of miles above our planet's surface. This bacterium, never before seen on Earth, was detected on China's Tiangong space station. It has been named Niallia tiangongensis, and it inhabited the cockpit controls on the station, living in microgravity conditions."

For my generation this issue of space bacterium is real.  The reason the original "Night of the Walking Dead" was so real, it was in part based in fact.  Back then the astronauts were isolated upon return until we knew for sure they did not bring a virus or bacteria back to earth.  The premise in the Walking Dead is they did bring back a virus which reanimated the dead.  Why we knew the moving was fiction, the science behind a space virus was real.

MUSK EV CARS ARE TAKING A HIT

Musk may be about to lose his billions in EV cars.  Tesla is not doing well, and the big secret is out.  I have never been an investor in EV cars, so I am not subject to the losses.  I have always considered EV as a shining object folly.  Given this week's news on Musk and the difficulty in transporting EV cars, I do not see big investors moving to shore up Tesla.

In the Pacific there is a ship with 3000 vehicles, now abandoned, after lithium batteries in the EV cars caught fire.  It blows my mind they were able to insure the cars knowing there is no effective means to put out a fire caused by lithium batteries.  

THE MORNING MIDAS TRANSPORTING EV ON FIRE AND SINKING IN PACIFIC

There are 3000 cars going to the bottom of the Pacific. 

It does not end there. See the 18-wheeler caught on fire transporting EV cars.

THIS IS NOT PROTESTORS BURNING TESLA EVs, THIS IS THEM CATCHING FIRE WHILE BEING TRANSPORTED IN TURKIYE 

EV cars are not green.  They are an environmental disaster.  Geopolitics has been turned upside down as countries with large lithium deposits are turning their landscapes, to include World Heritage Sites, into mining fields for lithium.  The NASCA Lines are now under threat as mining permits are granted. 

TSA is now banning lithium batteries from checked baggage.  If they catch fire in the cargo hold, the plane is going down.  It will only take one cabin fire from a lithium battery before lithium batteries are banned from all public transportation. Anything with lithium batteries is a bad investment.
