Trump put out a press release Tuesday night saying that Musk will co-lead the 'Manhattan Project of our time' with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

'This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!' Musk said in a statement.

Bad new for the NNSA which is way behind schedule for the pit manufacture with huge cost overruns.

Maybe the 5 year contract extension to manage LLNL will get reexamined in favor of a more cost effective non-profit model.

Suppose instead we could focus on dominance in outer space, and then bombard our enemies with asteroids for example. This could be very effective, of course, Tunguska was evidently equivalent to a large thermonuclear weapon in terms of the energy released. Of course, bombarding the earth with asteroids would also provide abundant deposits of valuable minerals, meaning the program would pay a tremendous peace dividend, and would throw up dust and debris that would help mitigate global warming. Eventually nuclear weapons could be completely phased out, saving trillions of dollars! There would be in general no concern about environmental issues of course, since asteroid impacts are naturally occurring from time to time, so we would not be changing the natural order of things.

If your job title is something along the lines of Grand Poo-Bah of DEI, you may want to polish up the resume although private companies may be ahead of the government for curtailing such positions.

We will see of the DOGE Czars can outlast the WEBE - We Be before you came, We Be here after you leave.

No question the Lab’s workforce could be cut in half with a dramatic increase in efficiency. You could probably cut Livermore 75%. I sincerely hope that they succeed, it is high time government bureaucrats got the heave ho.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
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.

By scooby
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

By scooby
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!
