We’re on the Brink of a New Age of Sail – TTGComment: I’ve been excited by LightSail 2 since before its launch. My interest in solar sails was sparked by Arther C. Clarke’s “The Sunjammer” when it appeared in Boys’ Life in 1964. The fact that LightSail 2 was the work … Continue reading → read more
EDUCATION WATCH INTERNATIONAL1 day ago
Untitled* You Don’t Need Qualifications to Homeschool Your Kids* Over the years, I’ve heard so many parents dismiss the possibility of homeschooling their children because they don’t feel “qualified.” “I’m not a teacher.” “I’m not good at math.” “I wasn’t good at X in school, so I could never teach my child that subject.” All these assumptions stem from a fallacy about what education is, and what makes an individual “qualified” to be a teacher. The fallacy: that your ability to teach relies on your expertise on the topic you’re teaching. While that may be true for selling your teaching ... read more

Air Force Global Strike Command Is Worried About China's New Nukes*Kris Osborn* *Chinese Nuclear Weapons, Asia* He's right to be worried. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Alongside an effort to emphasize the growing importance of allied operations in the Pacific, Ray stressed a need for the U.S. to maintain its strategic deterrence posture with a modernized nuclear triad. China's military seems like it is growing in every direction possible. For example, Chinese shipbuilders are adding new aircraft carriers, amphibs and destroyers at an alarming pace. Chinese armored vehicle engineers are fast-adding new infantry carriers and mobile artil... read more

The U.S. Navy Doesn’t Like to Talk About Its Seawolf-Class Subs*David Axe* *Seawolf-Class Submarines, * That’s because Seawolf and her sisters are special. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *Here’s what we do know. In March 2011 Seawolf’s sister ship Connecticut was tapped for the rare honor of operating under the Arctic ice for tests. Sometime *apparently in August 2013*, the U.S. Navy’s nuclear-powered attack submarine USS Seawolf eased out of the port of Bremerton, in Washington State, on what was probably her fifth or sixth deployment since commissioning in 1997. A month later the U.S. Sixth Fleet, in charge of ships in European waters... read more

The State of China-India Affairs: Border Tensions and BrahMos Missiles*Sebastien Roblin* *BrahMos Missiles, Asia-Pacific* What can China do in response to the threat posed by the BrahMos missile? *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *Disputes over lightly populated Himalayan mountains *shouldn’t* constitute a truly substantive conflict of interest between the two countries—but they have been allowed to flourish into full blown military competition. It is obvious the two Asian powers are wary of each other. But both would be better served by reciprocated détente, allowing billions spent fortifying the border to be redirected to the economic needs of t... read more

America’s F-22 Raptor Versus Russia’s Su-57—Who’s Your Money On?*Sebastien Roblin* *F-22, * So who ends up on top if the two discrete aircraft end up neck and neck in a Within-Visual-Range (WVR) dance of death? *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *For the time being, however, the evidence suggests that only a small quantity of PAK FAs will enter Russian service this decade—too few to alter the balance of airpower in the near term.

To The End of TimeAs we approach today's blog, there's something we have to remember. The U.S. is the most vicious and murderous country in the world. And perhaps that should not surprise us. And no, I'm not exaggerating. It is the offspring of the British Empire in it's most vicious and murderous days. There's a good deal of that in Canada's treatment of it's native people, too, of course. But the U.S. has been much, much worse for all of American history. The U.S. has been killing,capturing, murdering, torturing in almost every year of it's existing - something like 9 years out of every ten. And it... read more

This is because its main task—destroying immobile, fortified strongpoints with its powerful shells—is typically performed by airstrikes using precision-guided munitions such as JDAMs. Of course, the advantages of a ground-based system are those of sustained fire over time and ability to operate when air power is unavailable.

"A Look to the Heavens""One of the brightest galaxies in planet Earth's sky is similar in size to our Milky Way Galaxy: big, beautiful Messier 81. Also known as NGC 3031 or Bode's galaxy for its 18th century discoverer, this grand spiral can be found toward the northern constellation of Ursa Major, the Great Bear. The sharp, detailed telescopic view reveals M81's bright yellow nucleus, blue spiral arms, pinkish starforming regions, and sweeping cosmic dust lanes. Some dust lanes actually run through the galactic disk (left of center), contrary to other prominent spiral features though. The errant dust lane... read more

"Complexity Theory: the Avalanche and the Snowflake"*"Complexity Theory: the Avalanche and the Snowflake"* by James Rickards "One of my favorites is what I call ‘the avalanche and the snowflake’. It’s a metaphor for the way the science actually works, but I should be clear: it’s not just a metaphor. The science, the mathematics and the dynamics are actually the same as those that exist in financial markets. Imagine you’re on a mountainside. You can see a snowpack building up on the ridgeline while it continues snowing. You can tell just by looking at the scene that there’s danger of an avalanche. It’s windswept… it’s unstable… and i... read more

But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act... read more
