I assess with high confidence that Vladimir Putin's description of the Burevestnik's capabilities on March 1, 2018 were accurate, however not of a missile.
There is a man beneath the static...
No face upon the screen...
A voice hidden in machine code...
A ghost between the seams...
He writes the future sideways...
Leaves fingerprints in rain...
Every system speaks his language...
Though none could speak his name...
Сегодня Алексею должно было исполниться 50 лет. Когда я пришла к нему работать, Навальному было 34.
Тогда, еще до протестов на Болотной и Сахарова, ставших самыми крупными за правление Путина, успешной политической кампании «против жуликов и воров», ярчайшей мэрской кампании 2013 года, его дразнили «блогером из жж», но было очевидно, что именно он и может составить реальную конкуренцию Путину. Мне уж точно это было понятно уже тогда, поэтому и пришла работать в его команду: учиться и помогать.
Во время празднования 35-летия, когда по закону человек уже может выдвигать свою кандидату на высший пост в стране, именно этого мы ему и желали: победить режим.
В 2017 году Навальный выдвинул свою кандидатуру официально. И россияне по всей стране, от Калининграда до Владивостока, поддерживали его, приходили на митинги, донатили, клеили листовки, организовывались в штабы.
Если бы Алексей был президентом, не было бы войны, чиновники стали работать в интересах людей, а силовики бы занимались тем, чем и должны заниматься - борьбой с преступностью и коррупцией.
Я верю и никто меня не переубедит, что Россия станет именно той, о которой мечтал Навальный: процветающей, мирной. Дело Алексея живет и будет жить во всех нас, тех людях, кто продолжает бороться.
Keep exploring the possibilities

Create a precision mechanical blueprint sheet for [SUBJECT], designed as an engineering document rather than a product render.
View and sheet structure: orthographic primary view, controlled perspective only in secondary cutaway panels, pale technical grid background, thin construction lines, sectional hatching, exploded components, magnified circular insets, leader lines, material callouts, and assembly order markers. The subject should occupy the main drawing area with secondary modules arranged asymmetrically around it.
Mechanical credibility: every visible part must have a defined function. Show load paths, hinge axes, bearing locations, power routing, sensor placement, cooling channels, access panels, fasteners, seals, brackets, protective housings, and serviceable modules. Do not include decorative parts that have no mechanical support, attachment point, cable path, or structural purpose.
Protection system: represent the ion reaction protection system as an engineered safety mechanism. Use sealed emitter rings, insulated conduits, ceramic heat sinks, vibration isolators, transparent inspection windows, field stabilizer coils, diagnostic lenses, and shield control modules. Keep the illumination limited to small cyan or blue white indicators inside physical housings.
Material language: brushed titanium, bead blasted aluminum, graphite composite, matte ceramic insulation, transparent polycarbonate inspection covers, black rubber seals, anodized connector collars, and exposed stainless fasteners. Use material transitions at plausible joints rather than random surface patches.
Drawing behavior: use crisp vector like linework, clean object silhouettes, accurate proportional relationships, visible cross sections, correct component alignment, consistent scale between modules, and readable separation between the main object and exploded parts.
Text behavior: use short uppercase technical labels only. Use labels such as CORE MODULE, FIELD EMITTER, COOLING CHANNEL, SENSOR ARRAY, POWER BUS, SERVICE PANEL, STRUCTURAL RIB, and MATERIAL CUTAWAY. Avoid fake paragraphs, random serial codes, dense specification tables, unreadable microtext, and invented measurements.
Failure prevention: avoid ornamental science fiction shapes, floating parts outside exploded panels, inconsistent scale, impossible joints, broken cable paths, unsupported armor plates, decorative glow, weapon barrels, flames, smoke, showroom lighting, scenic backgrounds, and centered beauty composition.

@JackPosobiec NDAA classification of material since 2011 has been used domestically, this poses an ongoing threat to the public, and has enabled significant harm.
Over 1000 years ago, Persian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi published humanity’s oldest known record of the Andromeda Galaxy in "The Book of Fixed Stars" (Bodleian Library MS. Marsh 144 p. 167).
800 years later, Andromeda became the 31st entry in Charles Messier’s "Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters".
From “a small cloud” to “nebula” and now known to be our nearest major galaxy, Andromeda has remained a fundamental astronomical object.
Today’s image, taken over 202 hours, shows how far we have come in our ability to observe our neighbor. The diffuse red and blue clouds are mostly foreground ionized hydrogen and oxygen well within our Milky Way.
Pink-red clouds of hydrogen ionized by the energetic light of young stars trace the galaxy’s dusty spiral arms. M32 and M110 are satellite galaxies pictured orbiting the larger Andromeda.
Despite its long history of observation through ancient unaided eyes to modern telescopes, Andromeda still holds countless secrets that astronomers will continue to search for, including how galaxies merge and evolve, as well as the nature of the dark matter that galaxies reside in.

Our Project Spectrum Strike Prize Challenge is now live.
The DoW faces challenges in integrating modern technology into legacy spectrum management systems, putting American innovation, companies, and the military at a significant disadvantage compared to our adversaries.
DIU and its interagency partners seek a "ready-now" automated, software-driven spectrum deconfliction and authorization ecosystem. Run by DIU in partnership with the @USArmy, @USNavy, @USMC, @NTIAgov, @FCC, @FAANews, and @DHSgov, this Prize Challenge serves to dismantle "compliance-based bureaucracy."
Submissions due by June 15 at 23:59:59 Eastern Time.
