Otra vez!

 Another balloon blown out of the sky.


We don't know where it's from, but all the parts are labeled in Mandarin and originate from China. So our best guess is it was sent by Putin from Russia!

This one is weird, it seems like it is smaller and lower altitude that the first balloon. I suspect this is not Chinese but either a missing US balloon, or private drone or private balloon. I will stay away from UFO. I think they are just freaked out by the last balloon and overreacting to anything.

I suppose it could be a smaller Chinese balloon.

It's nobody's "best guess." Try to constrain yourself until more information is known and released. There is still more info being released on the earlier balloon that is shooting down a lot of the early commenting without data, always a bad idea.

They just shot down a third one in Canada.

All the more reason to hold off on making conclusions without evidence.

Fourth object in Montana. I am not sure if this really spy stuff or they are freaked out by anything and everything and shooting mylar balloons.

It looks like that the Montana may have just been a radar anomaly. However China is now claiming that it has objects flying over them that they are going to shoot down. It could a balloon cold war.

At some level I simply do not care what China does. We have Russia to deal with and 2024 could be another possibility for fascisim in the US. A few balloons is nothing.

Another one shot down today by Wisconsin. The balloon war continues. By the way for all you history buffs the first "spy" balloons used in war was 1794 by the French, we seem to be going backward in time.

Does anyone else find this stuff a bit disconcerting? We are close to a conflict with Russia and now we are kind of getting essentially into a shooting war with China.

Well take heart, suppose we did not have nuclear determent than maybe we would already be in giant conventional war so the nukes are preventing that. Of course it call all go sideways really fast.

Looks like a private hobby balloon. Cool

Because we shot down a surveillance balloon in our airspace? Get real.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
