🇬🇧🇨🇦⚡- Restore Britain Spokesman Charlie Downes was detained by the Canadian Border Service Agency for three hours yesterday while en route to a political conference.
While being interrogated, Downes was asked questions about Restore Britain, such as where their funding comes from, official policy concerning deportations, and whether he had ever joined a militia group and advocated for the overthrow of any governments.

SR-1 Freedom will use a 20-kW nuclear reactor to power electric thrusters, carrying three Ingenuity-derived SkyFall helicopters to Mars to search for subsurface water and scout potential exploration zones.
NASA plans to activate the reactor within 48 hours of escaping Earth, demonstrating nuclear propulsion in deep space after decades of development.
If successful, SR-1 will pave the way for nuclear-powered Moon bases, crewed Mars missions and spacecraft capable of operating far beyond where solar power is practical.

NASA Glenn Advances SR-1 Freedom, Billed as First Nuclear Fission-Powered Interplanetary Spacecraft
NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland is playing a key role in developing Space Reactor-1 Freedom, described as the first nuclear fission-powered interplanetary spacecraft. The vehicle is designed to travel to Mars and deliver a payload of three helicopters…
By the end of 2027, Starbase Pad 1, LC-39A and SLC-37A are expected online.
Many companies are still building rockets. But without launch pads, rockets just wait,and pads take years to build.
SpaceX’s real competitor is now itself:
Reusable Starship.
Orbital compute.
No one else is close.
📝 Zero G Talent: "The 'pad bottleneck' is the most underestimated part of the space race. Everyone wants to design the rocket, but the real win is the civil and industrial engineering required to build 15 pads that don't melt. That's a massive shift in the talent war."

Elon says the site gets more than a dozen towers... its basically a conveyor belt.
Right now rockets are events, but this plan treats them like departures.
Construction is slated for 2027, with the first flight targeted around 2029.

✈️ 🇨🇳 🏗 China is rapidly expanding the Lop Nur flight test complex in Xinjiang, a highly restricted facility used for testing advanced and experimental military aircraft.
Lop Nur has previously been associated with testing China's J-36 and J-XDS sixth generation fighter designs. The latest construction is particularly notable because the new southern hangars are substantially wider than typical tactical-aircraft shelters.
The War Zone assesses that the facilities could eventually support larger aircraft, including China's H-20 stealth bomber, which has yet to publicly appear. However, the article emphasizes that there is currently no evidence the H-20 is headed to Lop Nur, making that an assessment rather than a confirmed development.
The broader takeaway is that Lop Nur is evolving from a relatively austere test airfield into a major, high capacity test center for China's next generation aerospace programs, with the pace of construction accelerating significantly in 2025–26.

Each image covers about 100 times more sky at similar sharpness. One year of Roman data could rival decades from Hubble.
It is named for NASA’s first chief of astronomy, the woman colleagues called the mother of Hubble after she helped push that telescope through Congress.
The telescope is scheduled to launch tomorrow at 7:26 a.m. ET, 9 months ahead of schedule.

☢️ 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 Coming Soon: Nuclear-powered cargo ships
The US Department of Transportation is working to fast-track construction of a new fleet of vessels to change the game and dominate China
That means:
📦 More cargo (no internal fuel tanks)
🚢 Faster ships (up to 75% faster crossings)
🌐 Zero Emissions (20 years of continuous power without refueling)
The first Nuclear-powered vessel is set to be built in 2028

📝 🚢 ☢️ A large merchant ship, capable of carrying thousands of containers, could be powered by two (or more) 30-megawatt reactors. This artist’s conception, which is not based on any specific design for a cargo ship, is intended to show the approximate scale of such a vessel. The reactors would be small, modular units. Researchers are considering three different types: a lead-cooled fast reactor, a uranium-fueled, helium-gas-cooled reactor, and a molten-salt-cooled reactor, shown here [above, at bottom]. The reactor would produce steam to spin turbines that would generate electricity to power motors.

🇸🇾 Syria: Hijri wants so badly to sever all ties with Damascus that his armed wing, the National Guard, blocked the main road & prevented students from Suwayda from reaching their exam centers.
A special exam session was organized in the N. countryside, just on the other side of the front, with transportation provided by Damascus.
Yet only a few of the ~13,000 students made it, some sneaking on foot through farmland & mined areas.
The situation has reached such a point of no return that Hijri is effectively holding the Druze population under his control hostage - and condemning the future of Suwayda students.

The Nigerien Junta has issued a written statement, and the current government has arrested dozens of mutineers.
There is no final death toll yet, but we have learned that the Bravia Hotel in Niamey was also targeted during the mutiny.
More arrests will likely take place in the coming days.
General Tiani has not yet made a televised address to the nation, though that should happen soon.
Russia did indeed intervene alongside loyalist forces, securing the current government for a second time (the first being in Bamako in April 2026).

Cooper rejected MBS' proposal according to Kan.
The Saudi request from the United States reflects the kingdom's desire to avoid entering the "Yemeni mud," given its past experience. On the other hand, the negative response from the Americans reflects their unwillingness to lead another fighting front in the Middle East.
