"Seen his way, all civilization is an attempt to make waste disappear—but, like any repression, waste returns in fantastical forms."

Each year, the average #Australian throws out about 11 kilograms of clothing, according to the latest National #Waste Report.
We really need to do something about this. Removing clothes altogether when we are relaxing in #Nature, at the beach, or relaxing at home is an excellent start.

But the #Trump #GoldenDome's #funding remains uncertain. Republican lawmakers have proposed a $25 billion initial investment for it as part of a broader $150 billion #defense package, but this funding is tied to a contentious reconciliation bill that faces significant hurdles in #Congress.
#Trump ally #ElonMusk's #rocket & #satellite company #SpaceX has emerged as a frontrunner alongside #software firm #Palantir & #drone maker #Anduril to build key components of the system, Reuters reported last month.
Many of the early systems are expected to come from existing production lines. Attendees at the WhiteHouse presser w/Trump on Tues named #L3Harris, #LockheedMartin & #RTXCorp as potential contractors for the massive project.
The concept includes #space-based #missiles that would launch from #satellites in orbit to intercept conventional & nuclear missiles launched from Earth.
"I think it's opening a Pandora's box," said Victoria Samson, dir of space #security & stability at the Secure World Foundation think tank in Washington, referring to deploying missiles in space. "We haven't truly thought about the long-term consequences for doing so," she added.
Under President #Biden, US Space Force had grown vocal about a need for greater offensive space capabilities due to #space-based threats from #Russia & #China.
When #Trump announced his #GoldenDome plan in January, it was a clear shift in strategy, one that emphasizes a move into #space w/ #expensive, #untested #technology that *could* be a financial boon to US #defense contractors [or just #ElonMusk].
The announcement of #Trump’s #GoldenDome, a vast network of #satellites & #weapons in Earth's orbit set to cost $175 billion, could sharply escalate the militarization of #space, a trend that has intensified over the last decade.
While the world's biggest space powers - the #US, #Russia & #China - have put #military & #intelligence assets in orbit since the 1960s, they have done so mostly in secrecy.
Besides being unrealistic & outrageously expensive, #Trump's #GoldenDome plan could launch new era of #weapons in #space
Trump's Golden Dome missile defense concept revives a controversial, decades-old initiative whose ambitious construction could upend norms in outer space & reshape relations between the world's top space powers.
