Labor watchdog wants SpaceXâs gag clauses to disintegrate like its exploding rockets
[âŠ]
The complaint, filed Wednesday evening by an NLRB regional director for Seattle, says SpaceX requires its former workers to:
- Not disclose the terms of the severance agreement.
- Not disparage SpaceX, its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, or agents.
- Not to voluntarily assist any litigation against the company and if compelled to do so, to notify SpaceX.
Those requirements, depending on how theyâre worded and the specific circumstances, are potential no-nos right now in the US.

Boeingâs Starliner Set for First Astronaut Flight After Engineers Remove a Mile of Flammable Tape
[âŠ]
The second concern involved hundreds of feet of protective tape used to cover the wiring harnesses inside the Starliner vehicle, which was discovered to be flammable. âWe went through the vehicle and we either removed or we put barriers in place or we found that the area that had the tape wasnât susceptible to this issue,â Mark Nappi, vice president and program manager of Boeingâs Commercial Crew Program, said during Fridayâs press briefing. âWeâve removed nearly a mile of tape from the vehicle, and mitigated about 85 to 90 percent of the areas that the tape is installed on the vehicle.â
[âŠ]
How did they discover that the tape is flammable; did the ghost of Apollo 1 appear?
tdlr; raptor engines of first stage still dont delit properly or completly fail while trying (and likely get damaged through re-entry), the plumbing of the second stage seems damaged after shutdown of the engines, venting all the way and likely why control decided to skip the re-entry-burn (so the second stage wouldnt blow up like IFT2), uncontrolled and tumbling re-entry of second stage, likely through venting atmosphere from the bay-door-test (resulting in rotation of vehicle and unable to close bay-door afterwards). and its completly unclear if the (useless) in-vehicle transfer-test of LOX even took place at all. both vehicles lost.
oh, and despite the fact that the second stages apogee was 230 km, it actually wasnt in-orbit, because it failed to reach orbital velocity.
QAnon Anonymous Episode 272: Solar Eclipses And The Politics of Fear feat. Arthur Goldwag
Americans sure love being paranoid. And theyâre not always paranoid for sensible reasons, like ever-expanding corporate and governmental surveillance systems. Sometimes theyâre paranoid about natural and predictable astronomical events.
For this episode we discuss why the conspiracist world is fretting about the solar eclipse that will be seen across the United States on April 8th. We also chat with Arthur Goldwag, author of the recently published book The Politics of Fear: The Peculiar Persistence of American Paranoia.
The only bit that I didnât like was that Goldwag credits Alex Jones for predicting 9/11. In actual fact AJ was just parroting Bill Cooper who was AFAIK just saying that they would try again after the World Trade Center bombing in 1993.
Bill Cooper had the full text of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in his book.
Ummm, ouch? That is allâŠ
