A highlight from Congress Defending Crypto! (Gary Gensler's Pawns Exposed)
"It was a rush job to replace Sam Bankman -Fried and FTX because they lost them. So I think that's the best take. Yeah. It was a rush job. They had a hold. Meanwhile, they're like all these moving parts and like, guys, we got to do it. We find somebody. And then Promethean was like, hey, I'll do it. So they just created this entity. Promethean. Looks like we have a little press release here. Republicans, press regulators regarding Promethean's special purpose broker dealer approval. Pat McHenry from North Carolina led the committee here in sending letters to FINRA president Robert Cook and SEC chair Gary Gensler regarding Promethean's approval as the first and only special purpose broker dealer for digital assets. Kind of, they came out of nowhere, got all these approvals and no one ever heard of them before, you know, we covered it months ago. What the heck is Promethean? Where's Promethean coming from? We discovered a lot of insiders. Well, you know, some Republican senators looks like they had some issues with it. Here we have a quote. I think this is McHenry here. The timing and circumstances surrounding the approval of Promethean as the first special purpose broker dealer here raises serious questions. The approval comes as the committee is considering addressing gaps in the regulation of digital assets. We held a joint hearing just seven days ago prior to the approval of this asset or SBBD. In that hearing, members discussed their plan to propose legislation on digital asset market structure. While Promethean claims it is a silver bullet for digital asset offerings, it has not yet served a single customer. There's also refused to make public the digital asset securities that they would support on his platform. And since they're limited to digital asset securities, the SEC has refused to provide any biting guidance on what digital assets are securities. It is unclear what assets would even be eligible here. I want to show this story as well. They respond. All right, so we got to respond. So we got the Republicans. They're like, hey, this is fishy stinks. You know, they're ripping the mask off like it's Scooby Doo. Something's not right here. What are your thoughts on the approval? Do you think there's any chance that there's no insiders? No, there's absolutely insiders. And the fact that Congress is noticing is actually a breath of fresh air. But there's clearly fishiness. Ben made a video. We posted it, what, two weeks ago, three weeks ago, maybe at this point, just on the sketchiness of this entire story. It's the coincidence is just go too far to not have some weight to them. All right. We have Asmyr. F this ATL traffic. Hey, ATL in the house. Boomer Sooner. Do this move. That's what I know. Actually, do that. Or you do the, uh, the wafting, uh, move to it's like a drowning man. All right. Uh, Promethean responds to Republican concerns on the FINRA and the SEC approval. So Promethean, they got a little response here. There's a Pacma Henry. He's the one, you know, raising the questions. So the, the LLC, the response takes the spotlight amid growing concerns raised by members of the house financial services committee. Uh, here we have a friend of the channel, Eleanor Terrett, uh, tweeting about it as well. And reactions, uh, Promethean issued a statement. The purpose built its technology with the goal to develop a market infrastructure for digital asset securities that is compliant with federal securities laws. So they basically said nothing while saying a whole lot of something there, uh, in separate letters from house committee, Pat McHenry and 22 other members that they directed it to the CEO of FINRA and Gensler. And then, you know, we kind of covered this, uh, just kind of covering their concerns regarding the timing of the approval. One of the authors of the letters voices reservations and called for transparency regarding the approval of a company with strong ties to the CCP. Meanwhile, Coinbase, uh, CEO praise the letters and shared his concerns. Remarking blatantly political behavior from a regulator undermines trust in our institutions further emphasize the importance of equal treatment for all under all individuals under the law. Uh, Hey, what do we have here? Adding to the conversation crypto influencer BitBoy crypto echoed similar concerns regarding the links to the sec, suggesting a potential undisclosed crypto takeover plan involving the crypto startup and the sec chair. Uh, I will say this it's going to be interesting. So defense industry. All right. So every time you see a general talking about, you know, Hey, we got to do this. And you know, they're on these committees and joint national, where do they end up? They end up at like Raytheon. They end up at a Lockheed Martin, you know, they, they end up in these other companies. We're going to follow Gary Gensler. And do you think Gary Gensler, you know, I think going to have too much of a spotlight on it. He's not going to be able to take that Promethean advisor. I don't, I think we're, he's going to have too much of a spotlight to do those hundred and $50 ,000 speaking zoom call. Um, but it's too much. It was a rush job to replace Sam Bankman freed and FTX because they lost them. So I think that's the best take. Yeah. It's it was a rush job. They, they had a whole meanwhile, they're like all these moving parts and like, guys, we gotta, we gotta do it. We find somebody and then a Promethean was like, Hey, I'll do it. So they just created this entity, uh, controlling humans. Isn't it as easy as it used to be Mark, the shark. That's what he says. Yeah. Dang that pesky internet and, uh, you know, people, you know, sharing ideas and, you know, uh, objectives. Yeah, that's true. Although we do have big tech censorship. Drew, what are your thoughts on big tech censorship? Is it overblown understated? Understated. I would say so. And I it's, it's got amazing capabilities. You can speak in metaphors about specific information that's public domain, and you can be kind to the community and the algorithmic robots will still find you. So it's got very powerful potentials that I've experienced personally.

China reveals new details of Raytheon, Lockheed sanctions
"China's revealed new details of sanctions its previously announced against two U.S. weapons manufacturers, including a ban on Chinese companies doing business with them. China imposed trade and investment sanctions in February on Lockheed Martin and Raytheon Technologies corporations Raytheon missiles and defense, for supplying weapons that Taiwan, the self governed island claimed by China. China's ministry of commerce says in a statement the sanctions include a ban on exports and imports by the two companies from and to China, it says to prevent Chinese products from being used in their military business. It's not clear what immediate impact the penalties might have, but the restrictions on imports and exports could hurt the two companies. I'm Charles De Ledesma

"Let's talk about the incentives that are what you just dropped. I'm thinking of it this way. There's this neutral network or building network at this point, and there's participants who want to store data. And then there's participants who are willing to give up capacity to store that data and you're basically have to have some sort of monetary transfer between the two parties and a decentralized way. And that's what filecoin, protocol labs, all you guys are building and enabling this to occur. Walk me through that a little bit from one side or the other you can choose. If I'm someone who wants to use or bring capacity to a network, what does it look like for me? That's a great question. So there are different actual views into this, right? So the first one would be, I'm just Joe user. I have some data I want to store it. I have the option to go out and buy filecoin and invoke my own deals as a user, and as long as you have SPs and willing to make the deals, you can make them. It's one to one. So as a participant, I have that ability. Or there are solutions with a network. I've already mentioned estuary, which is one I can apply for an API key. I get a terabyte of free storage. I can start uploading data. There's also what three dot storage, NFT storage. So there are other portals that you can use that leverage what we call our incentive programs. The next step would be as an end user if you want to participate in an incentive program. It's actually beneficial for you. But it's also beneficial for the SPs, and that's twofold. So if you come to the network and say, hey, I've got, let's say I've got this research data that I need to store. And you can fill plus application. And if it's approved, you have a wallet that's loaded with fill that allows you to make the deals with the SPs and store all this data. With a verified deal like that, your data is seen as more valuable. So the rewards for the SPs that store that data get a ten X reward versus just a straight one to one deal. There are SPs in our ecosystem that believe it or not, don't store a lot of data, they're just creating what we call blank or CC sectors where you're going through the ceiling process. We call it ceiling. The cryptographic hashing, but they'll go through the ceiling process and they're just storing blank sectors and accumulating fill at a one to one ratio. Whereas if it's a verified deal, it's ten to one.

"U.S. president Joe Biden is seeking to cool down tensions with China saying he intends to talk with China's president Xi Jinping at Baxter has global news in the 9 60 newsroom in San Francisco Ed. That's right. This coming out today, Brian in his speech to the nation Biden says analysis to now is that the latest three object shot down. These three objects were most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions studied weather or conducting other scientific research. And not spying. The president says there are a lot more balloons than in the there are not more balloons than in the past, but the tweaking of the systems have allowed them to be detected. He says he will be taking steps to improve that detection even further. We'll update the rules and regulations for launching and maintaining unmanned objects in the skies above the United States of America. But then very bluntly. Make no mistake. If any object presents a threat to the safety security of the American people, I will take it down. And says it points to a better need for communication. Our diplomats will be engaging further. And I will remain in communication with president Xi. Now, Bloomberg's Joe Matthew says that may take some further diplomacy. What are the president gets a meeting with president Xi back on the calendar? It's probably going to take a little bit of time here. Speeches like today, though, addresses like today, the language he chose will help, and that we're looking specifically at one Chinese spy balloon that was shot down, not necessarily a much more broad surveillance effort that included these other unidentified objects. Now, China's announced trade and investment sanctions on Lockheed Martin today and also Andrea thon for selling weapons to Taiwan, but Bloomberg's U.S. national security team later Nick wadham says it's a very strange dynamic. It's really interesting because I think it's actually bringing the heat down by announcing some largely symbolic measures. So you have China sanctioning Lockheed and Raytheon. But these two U.S. defense contractors don't do any business really in China anyhow. They've been sanctioned before. Meanwhile, a weather of the meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and China foreign minister Wang Yi is still an open question. And China than his ramped it up again. There's questioning whether the U.S. genuinely seeks to repair the damage done over the balloon dispute says it could jeopardize any further talk says the U.S. can not ask for communication and dialog on one hand while sharpening differences on the other says the balloon saga test U.S. sincerity and capability to properly handle any crises.

"Victory over COVID citing declining death toll, U.S. president Joe Biden seeking to cool off tensions with China saying he intends to talk with China's president Xi Jinping. He says, latest three balloon shot down appears civilian. Now China has announced trade and investment sanctions on Lockheed Martin and Raytheon for selling weapons to Taiwan. So a different issue but all mixed together were joined by Bloomberg aerospace reporter Julie Johnson Julie thanks so much for taking time. This has a very strange dynamic. Please take us through it. This is meant to look like an escalation, but at least in a Raytheon's case, it really doesn't mean a whole lot or does it. Well, you know, it is very curious as you were just saying, so for the companies, in terms of business impact, it's minimal to note to zilch. It's not like Raytheon and Lockheed are selling weapons to China. And what's very curious, but this does ratchet up U.S. China tensions for sure. And with the case of Raytheon, what's really interesting is that they targeted Raytheon's missiles and defense unit. But carved out the commercial side of the business, which is a key supplier to China's airlines and China's own plane maker comac of things like jet engines and navigation equipment and landing gear. So they've sanctioned correct. If I'm understanding crowd, they've sanctioned what they don't use or don't buy and left the others without sanctions, correct? Yes, that's exactly right. That's exactly right. But it does add to the sort of fevered environment that we find ourselves in right now. Yeah, because I guess if you just look at it on paper, the fines look pretty draconian. Yeah, they sure do. They sure do, I think it also is it's a not so subtle reminder that there could be financial consequences. For a very large U.S. manufacturer down the line. And the Chinese are sort of masters at hinting at further pain that could be to come. And could this possibly be that it's aimed basically for China's domestic consumption as well? Well, that's exactly it. I mean, they are badly trying to recover from COVID. COVID, which is wiped out, travel and their airline industry. And so they're trying to bring planes back into the skies. And restricting these U.S. made parts from their own airlines would definitely hurt wind up hurting their own economy. So Lockheed in the United States is a quick to point out that it works very closely with the U.S. on international sales, so, you know, it works on strategy from the U.S. side as well. Yes, exactly right. And people also need to remember that any foreign sales by U.S. defense companies need State Department approval. They're not freelancing when it comes to China. It's all very, very strange. We live in very odd times. Well, yes, we too. And the sales of those, the commerce and the transportation and airlines building is important to Lockheed and to Raytheon as well. So I mean, you know, that plays into the equation too, doesn't it? It does. So Lockheed is pretty much a pure defense play. So I guess I could see. Why China's, well, I don't know. I mean, I really don't know why any of this is going on. But the stories are a little bit different for those two companies. Yeah, and just so we have less than 30 seconds, but now this mixed with the balloon and you've touched on this alluded to it because this is Taiwan is a separate issue, but it complicates things even further. Yes, it sure does. It sure does. Washington acted first by blacklisting 6 Chinese companies that were linked to the balloon. So this is they've responded. In kind, it appears. All right.

It's been interesting times. Though it's not what we're going to be talking about today, been watching the showdown between Google and Microsoft over chat GBT and Bard and things are happening as we're recording this. So I thought maybe you would have been too distracted with the new Harry Potter game. Well, there is that. We all have our secret little things that we do to keep entertained. Yeah, yeah. Well, I forget one of our recent guests brought up that quote of you don't need to do machine learning like Google, and you're talking about Google and Bard and all of these things. And when you think about those things, you think about, oh, these data centers full of GPUs and these huge supercomputers that they've got at their disposal to do things, which isn't the type of GPU infrastructure that most practitioners have access to. And that happens to be maybe the topic of what we'll get into today a little bit. Excellent. With Eric Dunham and founder of banana serverless GPUs, welcome, Eric. Thank you.

Senator Josh Hawley Talks Foreign Policy Threats
"Let's play cut 36. Raytheon CEO says Ukraine is depleted. The weapon stocks faster than expected boy. This is a gift to the weapons manufacturers. They're going to have record profits. I'm not telling anybody what stocks to buy. But if you were to buy Northrop Grumman or Lockheed Martin or Raytheon, I can't imagine you'll do poorly even in a recession. Play cut 36. So as we think about all of the weapons that have been delivered to Ukraine have come out of, I would say, current inventory. We're not building any of those replenishing any of those today, although we're working on it. The fact is we are drawing down weapon stocks much faster, and I think I said this last week, we've gone through in the first ten months of the war 5 years worth of production on javelin anti tank missiles, and we've gone through 13 years worth of stinger production. So it's going to take us some time to catch up. I mean, it's great for business, obviously, for Raytheon, senator, but that's not good for our national security. No, it's terrible for our national security, but it's really terrible for us. Is our effort and our desperate need, Charlie, to deter China. If you think about our foreign policy threats here, where is our greatest foreign policy threat? It is an imperialist China that wants to dominate our supply chains that wants to shut down our ability to trade on fair terms that wants to steal our jobs and steal our technology. What are we doing to counter that? Basically nothing. And what China sees right now is the Americans are completely tied down in Europe. The Americans are spending all of this money and using all of their munitions on Ukraine in this proxy war with Russia and therefore the Chinese are concluding, they can run rampant in Asia. They can continue their efforts at imperial domination, Taiwan will be next and why do we care about any of that? Well, because it's about our security and prosperity. I mean, if you take the supply chain crunch as a problem now, wait until China invades Taiwan and shuts down our shipping lanes, wait until they kick us out of our trade routes in the Pacific, which is what they want to do.

"Happening on the macro horizon, people prefer a safe asset, almost at any price. So right now you're getting over 4% for the safest asset in the world, which are government bonds from the U.S.. Even if that goes down to 3%, I don't think it's going to change people going back into these unprofitable high flying tech issues, especially while there's weakness in the economy. Okay, give us a contrarian call that you like that maybe some people are not thinking about. But might be a way for them to make money given these turbulent times. I think the contrarian call is to stock pick around the cyclical companies. And to get even more contrarian, we like one of the cyclical areas, which is actually energy. So although energy is the best performing sector this year, I would argue it's the only sector that's actually price for recession. They have the windfall earnings this year. So we already knew earnings were going to come down next year. But these companies have extremely strong balance sheets now so they can weather any kind of economic weakness and I still think there's very tight supply out there. So we do get demand destruction in a recession, but the contrarian call would be there's also not enough supply out there. So if there's some other supply shock next year, such as Russia, massing more troops than making another offensive. In February we're hearing, there could be an upward shock in energy, not to mention China reopening. As I just turned on your program, reducing all the travel restrictions, there could be a lot more usage. As you say, if we go into recession, then certainly energy demand would be lower, right? So wouldn't that kind of hurt that bad? Energy demand definitely we would be lower. However, I'm arguing that those stocks are priced for it already. So you have single digit P E is still in some energy stocks. That's usually discounts a lot of pain for you. You know, whereas you're buying apple at over 25 times earnings, that's a consumer discretionary company, and those tend to decline in recessions as well. So it's really evaluation call. Yeah, I mean, you look at Apple at the end of 2021, it's peace. But 30 is a lot more affordable you could argue. You made quite a few calls actually at the beginning of July. Middle of July, in fact, and in Apple was one of them we had others like autism, broad con, Chewy, Coca-Cola, H and R block, Lockheed Martin, how much of how many of these are you still sticking with? We've actually reduced a lot of our exposure to the blue chip S&P 500 companies, partially because of that passive thing. If the white collar 401k stopped buying, there's a lot of air underneath those stocks, but also we just kind of wanted to get away from the cyclical companies. So we still own one of the Coca-Cola distributors because people still drink Coca-Cola during a recession. You know, they cut back on bigger ticket items and luxury items. So I would definitely go with more consumer Staples, stay away from consumer discretionary and just be very careful out there. It really is a stock picker's environment, which we're happy about. But there's not so many stock pickers anymore. Let's ask you a little bit about what this show focuses on, a show we can start with China. We have the State Council and the PBOC vowing yet again to boost growth. I say yet again because we've seen so many calls for this and it's been very, very slow, very targeted, very incremental. Do you like the reopening story and are you finding ways to play it? We do like the reopening story. But it's very difficult to actually get good information on China as I'm sure you know. But the way that we're watching it really is through energy consumption. So I think it'll be slow. And it'll be gradual, but we will start to see more barrels of oil going to China and Russia might not be able to supply those barrels either. So it's going to be some big tug of war next year between demand destruction, perhaps in developed economies that are going through recession, but China really coming off a very low base of being in total lockdown. And of course, we have the geopolitical headwinds too, do we not? Absolutely. Absolutely. And it's strange to me that the energy markets don't price in a potential large decline in the largest producer of oil, which is Russia. So it could be a shock there as well. All right, Brian, it's an interesting call. The thoughts that you've shared with us today, I would say that you're pretty bearish yet opportunistic. You're looking for ways to guide us through the next 6 to

But you know, I don't know if it's people I don't know, that's a good question though. I don't think it's necessarily people downgrading versus getting those people back who might have quit because they didn't want to pay that full price, right? At the moment, as you say, what is the commentary going to sound like? Is it going to be as lackluster as concerning as many of the structures have been downgrading their outlooks 19 straight weeks of downgrades rather than that grace, but also the fact that Bloomberg economics sees a 100% chance of recession. Now if you go out to next year and 100% chance, yet that doesn't seem to be being echoed by the banks CEOs. Certainly not, I'm certainly from some of these even CEOs that we're going to be hearing from the calls. We're talking to people saying they say, yeah, things are, I mean, a slower than maybe they were last year, but nowhere near sort of the dire forecast and nowhere near what it would look like back in 2000. And for investors, it's really, okay, so what's going on in the U.S. market? What's going on in UK? Does the U.S. by comparison look better than what's going on in Europe?

What are you doing saber rattling across the world? Trying to resolve border disputes when our when our own border is wide open, we have inflation, the country is politically divided and you have a regime that is wildly unpopular.

Ceo of a company that he's running around ship and the answer was really interesting. The ceo is a young guy named jim hasslet and he'd come from american tower. He knows technology. American tower the builder of cell phone towers and he talked about the long term change. In what lockheed martin used to do since world war two actually cited world war two in this conference call saying we used to make programs are used to make stuff and sell the stuff to the military. Now we're thinking about a mission oriented paradigm and that's different than what we've been doing since world war two Here is What jim tastes had to say when he was asked. Are you running to ship. Wire to sell in the stuff like you used to do. And he described a modern day lockheed martin but i'm getting Tremendous traction with senior government officials in the us and elsewhere understand that while our industry and they're hers.

It's in a lot of different piles but facebook trades her f. b. shares fell today but they are higher by. Oh well just thirteen percent over the last twelve months so yeah. Let's talk about all this. Facebook news all observers them a lousy investor. Yes look at the reason i i. I'm not. I don't guess investment advice you wouldn't follow my investment advice if you could get it For example facebook vastly Before the market but facebook to me has always been a free cash flow story and while they reported earnings that were seen as a disappointment of wall street. Guidance was a disappointment of wall street. The stock was down in after hours trading after they announced the numbers although i think was up a little bit kind of break easily was falling today. And we'll see but not a big move into stock today nonetheless and then also a share buyback which might be helping stock who cares about the stock. I always say the business is growing like crazy. Twenty nine billion in revenues up thirty five percent over last year's record year record third quarter operating profits up thirty percent to eleven or ten point four billion dollars operating margins of thirty six percent which while it's less than last year it's thirty six percent operating margin that's unbelievable daily active users just when you thought everyone was on facebook including isaac his family or on instagram. What's up well. In fact lack of users were six percents. And we're monthly active users so the real story though was the headwinds from the changes and apple iowa's fourteen that don't allow the targeting and tracking of users across lots of different apps that really hits facebook where it lives which is selling advertising across not just facebook properties but elsewhere and understanding who those customers are telling advertisers who the customer is who they're targeting and how they can target them Facebook thinks that they can rebuild those capabilities and somehow work around that. I don't know that they can face a faith in facebook technologists. You'll want to believe that. And maybe the bigger question is if you can't target the viewers of an ad across lots of different apps and lots of different devices. Do you want to advertise with facebook at all. Here is a chief operating officer sheryl sandberg. I think it's hard to sit here and decide exactly where we're going to end up at the all of this is gonna be a multi year effort. We've definitely seen it hit already and we're definitely focused on tools to help advertisers. We think we have opportunities to strengthen targeting ourselves both by the work ourselves and as part of industry contortion. You're right in your question in that. Advertisers have to make a choice of where they advertise so the question for us is how good can are targeting. Be compared to other i think are targeting. Ten suffer compared to others like apple who have direct data themselves. But i think are targeting still remains. I think in very very many ways very good for advertisers. When you compare us on an roi we've always performed. Well we still do even though we've taken a ahead and we're focused on continuing to do that for business. Think she took a shot at apple. There that i think is saying well now apple can just keep all this private information for themselves when apple his very specifically said they also will not track users across different devices just to sell ads so that. I don't know that it's taking a little shot at tim. Cook in the folks.

"Beyond. Um, but it's really not just our business need for stem professionals that drives this because we know our nation needs brilliant professionals. Our national security depends on it, and that's that's really part of why we started. The scholarship is sort of recognizing that these jobs are critical for our nation. But They're also great for students and communities, their high paying jobs. They're great for students in Orlando and other communities nationwide. And so we wanted to focus on removing some of those barriers that sit between students and those jobs, and one of those barriers is a financial barrier to higher education. As you said the cost of college has skyrocketed since 1980. It's gone up six times inflation, but at the same time students need these postsecondary credentials to get that career. So that's why we invested in students like Iraq. That's why we invested in nearly 200 other Lockheed Martin stem scholarship recipients this year. Because we think there's potential not just for Lockheed Martin, but more broadly for our communities. Erin it seems like it allows for a diversity of workforce. Right. There's something inclusive about making sure that everyone can get into a stem career. Yes, absolutely, absolutely. And you know, as a bit of a fun fact, the term stem was coined in 2000 and one by the National Science Foundation right down the road. In D. C. And they coined the term stem because they wanted to focus our attention on those key technical fields. And in the 20 years since the term was invented or came on the scene, some things have changed. We've seen some interesting increase in student interest in stem more kids using stem degrees, But some things haven't changed, and one of the more notable things is the diversity of the stem workforce. And, you know, we think about that for a lot of reasons. If stem is a funnel at each stage, you know we lose students, they might not have the same opportunity and access to high quality stem learning experiences, mentors, career opportunities. And so our scholarships are kind of just one piece of trying to address that challenge to really help keep students on that pathway instead of instead of pushing them off. Arrested.

Did America's CEOs Know About Covid Before It Hit?
"One of my listeners and patrons asked me a question about what I thought about Jeff Bezos stepping down from Amazon. I don't really know. I don't know, but it does follow with all the resignations of major brands that we've seen in the last year and a half. I know that last summer there had been like 1300 CEOs from massive corporations throughout the world that stepped down from their position in the preceding 12 months. In January alone, there were 200 chief executives vacated their comfortable positions. And they cashed in, obviously, like they all do, but they left. And these local businesses either. This is Nokia, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, L Brands, LinkedIn, match, Hulu, Tinder, groupon, Disney, Harley-Davidson, Mastercard, Nike, eBay, you get the picture. The list goes on and on. Why are they doing this? It's not that uncommon to see top level dudes step down when there's a recession. That happens, but shit got crazy in 2019. A lot of these companies saw like insane stock market highs. The economy was booming. I mean, Corona was just a beer. It had nothing to do with the virus at that point. But this type of mass exodus that didn't happen even in 2008 when the whole fucking bottom fell out. What the financial crisis and then the subsequent recession didn't happen then. So it doesn't make a ton of sense for a guy like me to put two and two. I don't really understand why it's all happening. Because most of these high powered dudes left before coronavirus went all across America. Last march. Some of the theories that are making the rounds, you know, like Jeff Bezos, if he didn't leave when his dick pic was circulating, I don't know why he thinks this is a better time. I don't know anyone cares. These guys have enough money for ten fucking lifetimes. They don't care about us. Don't care about them. But the first and most obvious possible reason is that some people think these executives might have been tipped off by friends in big Chinese business that a virus was about to hit U.S. soil, a very debilitating pandemic. And it was going to hit America hard. Some people think that news was spread out among big, big bosses.

I've met a few Never met buzz aldrin or ordeal armstrong. Or anybody like that. A few shuttle astronauts. I've i've met a former nasa. Well no i interviewed chuck cernan but i was never. I interviewed him over the phone. So i i don't know i just have an affinity for space i i i love it because of course i love the topic of aliens. Ufo's avi lopburi more. We come on. Space travels amazing. I mean we'd star trek star wars. These are things. I really like And you know noticing too. I grew up in utah. Where more than fire call was twenty miles away thirty miles away from where i lived and this is where the rings were made for the space shuttle program of course the failed challenger explosion was because of the ordering problems were more than thiokol and only two failures in the whole space shuttle program where people were killed. Astronauts were killed. No real new information though. That was out there and You know and we kept being promised this was just you know the shuttle program was going to be used to not only take the bus out for a dry but it was also going to be used to go to the space station and bring astronauts food and stuff and now well for the longest time we were contracting russia. We're having a deal with russia to send astronauts to the space shuttle to the space station to well actually said food to the space as well and i thought why are we relying on russia in and this whole nonsense about how russia was our enemy and everything. They're our enemy. Why are they helping us with our space program. Just didn't make any sense. But yeah i mean looking back at our field. Space programs is important. Indicate that president. Barack obama crippled dass his efforts to send astronauts beyond low earth orbit. When obama came into office. he didn't want a number of other. Presidents have done to determine their goals for nasa. He formed a presidential commission to study the space agency and then he came up with some recommendations so he you a committee the committee. You basically. you're saying well. I think there are far more important things. We need to invest our money. And so i'm gonna cut your budget. You know basically what area. We're gonna bring you altogether. Cut your budget. So you're going to have to deal with you know whatever that's all it's been cutting budget and budget cutting and and And so that's why you have now space x that's why you have You know these other companies visas and others who want to do space because you know space has been neglected. The budgets have been neglected in our government for some time but we had a lot of conservative presidents like george w bush and of course donald trump. Who said yeah. We're all the speech program. Let's get it going. And the reason why is because there's brooke obama once said and this is one of the reasons why he basically said no to you know exorbitant budgets for space. He says well. You know spaces. In america. First issue. And we should be more universal. We she wore. We wore worldly with our concepts in our conquest of space. We need to do you know we didn't do it all together as a world. It's a it's a world bring people together in a world government or world philosophy. I think reagan kinda hinted to what he said. You know our differences worldwide would vanish. We were facing an alien threat from outside of this world but that was an alien threat. That was the idea that if there were aliens out there wanting to eat us then we would certainly band together as a group. I mean that's what independence day was all about right. See the independence day. Movie or armageddon were nasa saves the day. You know it's time and time again. We get told it. Our space program is amazing. Well yeah they do amazing things. But it's not as amazing as it used to be. I mean lockheed. Martin ceo norm augustine Headed up the augustine commission during the obama administration actually was named after maga sanofi headed up with the. It's called the augustine commission and basically they returned with a set of recommendations after few wants convening during the obama administration so the commission found the program then in existence project constellation was not execute under any reasonable

Yesterday's a jack boone's who's a professor in the department of ece fisa goal in planetary sciences unto colorado boulder. He is also vice president images for academic affairs in blue sage for disuse system system. Jack while thank you. Joe is good to be with you. Thanks for doing this so you at your team. On deeply involved in the upcoming nasa missions to the moon including The designed to place radiofrequency absolutely on the far side of the moon and be kevin deemed really back there for almost fifty years. Now i know that china s landed. I was actually looking at some photographs that just gained today from From their lander. I israel in india. Almost got there but Fleas land properly. And so so. What's our interest. What's sudden interest in going back to the moon after fifty years. Yeah i don't know that. I would characterize as a sudden interest i think on the part of the science community and really the exploration community interest has been there for a while but what has changed in the last decade is the cost doing missions And the accessibility of the moon in this new era in which we have now. Private companies like spacex and like the blue origin company. Jeff bezos company They've put considerable private resources in developing new rockets of with reusability to lower the launch costs and also technology which was extreme in the nineteen sixties to try to get to the moon. All hannity vetted from scratch now is relatively straightforward at gill as you mentioned Even a small countries like israel Private companies have contracts with nasa to fly payloads. Now it's it's it's realizable to Envision going to the moon at a relatively modest cost certainly in comparison to the sixties and seventies. Yes so that's a. It's a very interesting phenomenon. Now it's it's almost like a business model question. Space is Blue blue horizon blue origin. Laura gin and that is another company. Lakers peterson things. Well lockheed you ally the united launch alliance which is the lockheed and boeing Company as well they all have these new generation of launch vehicles that are capable of going to so nasa in some sense outsourcing Some of the transportation right to so captain made a selection or are they going to do essentially multiple companies. Do it the the plan is to have monk multiple companies just like the commercial crew program To the space station there's boeing and spacex And for the case of the moon for the un crude landers that Landers that are just carrying payloads nasa has identified a out a dozen companies To be able to transport a payloads to the moon and at the same time. They're also undergoing competition right now. They selected three companies to design as part of a public private partnership the next generation of human landers. So that's the same. Mostly the same group that has spacex blue origin and the third one is is dynamic which is a company in huntsville alabama rate. So it's nassar's goal here is They are they going to take contracts from other other countries do send pedal to the moon in these companies. The the way this is working now is nasa is buying services so they're no longer buying rockets or landers which they will then own operate Instead the philosophy is To buy a ride for example a seat On a human land or or by space for a payload so these companies that are responsible for indemnifying Making sure they have a proper insurance for losses They take A bit of the risk and and then proceed along those lots now. What that means is that the companies then they own the intellectual property they owned landers they rockets they own the The other transportation devices. So that means they can sell seats. They can sell payloads to for example a european space agency Or the russian space agency or individual companies. That might want to puts a payload on the moon Investigation in this kind of a lower gravity environment so it's much more entrepreneurial than what we had before and it lowers the cost to the taxpayer for doing all these things by the artist program. Which is the new human programs. The moon the Recently released cost to get the first woman in the next man to the moon by twenty twenty four is a factor of ten less than the apollo program. Yeah it's interesting. I remember jack I was involved a little bit on the economic side of the next generation. Space legal program two thousand two thousand one two thousand two timeframe and this was a program was supposed to replace the shuttle and we did not go forward with it and i guess so. What was the arranged with the russian system to get their astronauts into space station. Yeah the the problem was that you might recall The shuttle accident that occurred in two thousand three And then president. George w bush declared that the shuttle really wasn't safe And that needed to be replaced and it took a while. We're still in the process of of fully replacing it. The last shuttle launch was twenty eleven If i remember correctly so in the meantime in order to get to the space station What we did is contract with the russians to use their soyuz spacecraft to go back and forth the space station so we. What we did is the buy seats. Those seats cost about seventy five or eighty million dollars so they weren't cheap but eventually got us back and forth. He said before we get the details of the Admission stack help philisophical question so way we have technology advancing the about conflict. Television's really taking off machines. Getting lot smarter What does sort of the basis for sending humans Could be not accomplished thing that human could do with machines if that's a good question i'm glad you answered that you ask that question because Excuse me i think what we're looking for now is is Really different mode for doing work on services like the moon or mars. Excuse me in that. We unlike apollo you had a single astronaut. Geologists such as astronaut harrison schmitt on all seventeen doing classic field geology. With a shovel to now advance unit twenty-first-century. We're gonna to do. Is i like to say we're going to bring Silicon valley with us to the moon. So we're going to bring advanced robotics. Be telly operated. That will use a machine. Learning artificial intelligence And will team with the astronauts so that they will these. These rovers advance scouting. They will identify interesting places and then the role of the astronaut is to make critical decisions on what to investigate What the samples. Look like i. i still think it's true. I've been told from my colleagues who are geologists stromer But who are uninsured. Scientists in that the difference for example between. Let's say the The curiosity rover on mars. And what it's been doing and having a human on mars that the work that the curiosity rover has done last seven years could be done in two days by geologists. a that's the difference and to also bring back. You know better selected samples and so forth. So there's no replacing humans and that's not going to happen anytime soon but you you do your point being. You only wanna use humans when you actually have to. Because their time is valuable and they're expensive and also Walking around even on the surface of the moon is dangerous. Because the you know the a space where the asian micrometeorites another possible dangerous but going into this new environment. I think what we're going to be able to do is reduced risk and improved efficiency. The i don't remember the numbers but a human Mission is about ten x the cost of a non human mission. Obviously the the efficiency and like you say what begin out of it different but guess on the cost side. It's about the fact of a magnitude different you know. That's hard to say because robots still are very limited in what they can do. They're just so many things that only humans can do is a little bit of apples and oranges but yet you're probably right that on the ballpark about a factor of ten. Maybe even more. But there's also much more than a factor of ten improvement in efficiency. So you know. Those costs will balance out and obviously the advantage of a human is You know they've been. The unexpected happens in michigan learning in As long as you have heard of data to teach a machine but then the unexpected happens machines. noel exactly. The rover gets stuck. It suffers a mechanical problem. That If you have a human there at least in the vicinity can help fix it. And move orders you know i think about for example servicing of the hubble space telescope and that was done five times by human astronauts and The astronauts such as john grunsfeld did to the servicing missions was very clear that the telescope could not have been repaired in upgraded by anything other than humans because the tab the complexity of the task the ability to be able to get in and To make repairs Make on the spot. Decisions just You know there was no replacing that so hopefully humans have a few more years of Do i think we've got many years to tell you the truth. I think it's going to be you know in reading some of the literature. I think it's going to be a quite a long time if ever that. We have truly Intelligent self aware machines can operate with the same decision making kick be very good at repetitive calculations outstanding job of there but You know making creative innovative entrepreneurial. Decisions were We're nowhere close to that yet So i do that. A multiple missions being planned An international collaboration so he's the first one that is supposed to take off as leave. Yeah artists is the new name for the human missions to the moon Artemis in greek mythology was the sister of apollo The twin sister of apollo. She's the goddess of the moon. So that's very appropriate. Since nasa has already declared bet up for that first landing which nasa has been planning for twenty twenty four would Would have that first woman in the next man on the surface the first expedition by humans to the moon in the twenty first century. So optimistic applaud. Its name the program programming program. Yeah exactly right so so andrade damasio multiple things going on And so do we have sort of a space station like that is going to orbit the out. Yeah in fact. That's honored design. And we'll be under construction in the next few years has called the gateway lunar gateway. And it's it's not like the space station in the sense of being gigantic And being really limited to that single orbit the gateway is really more of a spacecraft is going to have a pulse in system using a new generation of solar electric bad is ion propulsion That will be piloted for potential for optometry use in going to mars. I have just a couple of modules that will be there it will be a place where astronauts coming from the earth on on the orion spacecraft which is a it plus the space launch system is a heavy lift vehicle that will take astronauts the moon they will dock at the gateway and then they will get into a reusable lander go to the surface. Come back in that lander and then the next crew that comes in will do the same thing so you don't throw everything away like we did during hollow in the nineteen sixties again. The reusability idea is Is key to keeping the costs down so so it is more dealer so can't be attached as as alright right. Ds change in the future. Cab edge more against it. We can in fact The japanese space agency jaksa recently committed to fly a module And nasa has invited others such as the russian space agency to think about them attaching A module as well so it definitely is modular. That way you can add habitats you can add laboratories And can can grow over time. But it's also the the idea is that it's going to be long duration spaceflight and it's away way from the earth's magnetic field so you've got the full range environment of what you would have going to mars. So i think nasa all also looks at. This is a prototype of the vehicle that would be sent to mars. Lucchese david some Conversations yet again. Remember that To go to mars you would rather start off. Start off from the moon. Is that still thinking or that. Exchange i don't think that's been decided but there's this potential real advantages of a loon. First of all launching from the moon versus the earth requires much less thrust. What what we call delta the. That's the change in velocity to Get off there. Because there's only one sixth gravity on the moon and secondly if we're successful in mining water from the minute we know now there's considerable amount of water at the polls of the moon That's hydrogen and oxygen. We can convert that potentially into rocket fuel. You wouldn't have to bring that from earth so the costs associated with launching some could be substantially reduced in doing this from the moon versus from your so people are actively working that right now and seeing if that might be the way to go i of think that might end up being How missions to To mars or undertaking so under optimus Are there plans to actually create a habitat a big enough habitat for people to stave or extended period of time. So nasa has designs. And once again i should mention this is. This is all international Insa is involved. The european space agency is involved in providing a module for the service module for the orion. It also will be working on the gateway. The canadian space agency is providing the robotic arm And the same will be true on the surface The idea is that the first few missions will of just get started That first nation in twenty twenty four is planned to go to the south pole of moon. Will we've never been to before and look at the water. Ice situation there but Over time by the end of the decade the expectation is that will have multiple habitats. And we'll have people staying there for long periods of time like the arctic station. It's run by the national science foundation. The mcmurdo station as called in which you have a number of scientists come in and visit for anywhere from a few weeks to staying for year here so salama but when the next generation space program was in progress space. Too big big project. I would imagine spacex Others cab this business plan so what's the clamps time Do that The gay yes. So it'll be somewhere between three and five days to get from the earth and you're right about. The tourism spacex already has a fide a japanese businessman. If i remember correctly who has bought a A ride not the surface of the moon but to orbit the moon on a spacex vehicle. Sometime in a in a few years but the it'll be in a three to five days to get to the gateway and then Another day to get down to the surface. So i fully expect by the end of the decade especially given the accessibility to the moon by the private sector and by isa companies That they will be selling seats to wealthy individuals to spend a A summer holiday on the moon is so if the if the gateway is expandable perhaps Taxpayers can make some money nasa. Well it might be. Yeah but but once again this is. The transportation for the most part is probably not going to be through nasa but by these individual companies who own their own rockets their spacecraft and now they will sell seats to to wealthy tourists. yeah and so You you mentioned the european space agency. You mentioned the canadian space agency of so. Is this like the space station. A larger collaboration or those are the three major ones. Yeah it is and you're right. There are Oh gosh there's probably a dozen or so. Companies countries rather involved in the international space station and nasa envisions this much the same thing And i to. I order all the countries that are involved in. The international space station have been invited to become involved with the gateway And so as i mentioned several have accepted with With enthusiasms others are still keeping that around and take a quick break jack. Benny come back to talk about the radio. Frequency of savitri on the far side of the more that you're designing you bet sounds good. This is a scientific sense. Podcast providing unscripted conversations bit leading academics and researchers on a variety of topics. You like to sponsor this podcast. Please reach out to in full at scientific sense dot com back Jack you're talking about upcoming missions to the moon Some of the manned mission some of some of the technology that you're sending up there there is a gateway bridges like the space station but attested propulsion its zone. Sorta are based entity source. And it's more dealer things could be attached to it. That may be subject is imploding. Creating that a launchpad so to speak to go to mars perhaps habitats that a large announced a mining for water mighty for hydrogen and other things and so he the program is called autonomous. So could be portal light program and underneath optimists. There are various things being planned right. So what are the The primary objectives all of those radius approved betas projects. I should say under under optimus. Yeah we'll go. let me let me start off by just looking at the difference with The apollo program because the apollo program ended fairly abruptly once the political goals were reached and it was never Really a sustainable program so Nasa and i think all of the governmental space agencies are looking for is for arsonist to be the beginning of a sustained presence on the moon and in space and using the moon as a stepping stone for human and robotic exploration of the solar system including getting the mars so the philosophy of artists is really quite different. So you're there the stay So you need to figure out how to live off the land. So that does mean as you're saying mining's water being able to grow crops being able to manufacture Equipments the habitats themselves from the From the of the regular or the soil material so using the the kind of advanced manufacturing capability three d. printing Electrolysis so that's a really different approach. And it means that what will be worked on is not just get there but a flag in the ground rather in full of soil and return on instead it means You know how do you figure out how to be there for the long haul so that means than learning how to to excavate how to build How to really maintain a life in a in a certain sense of independence. Part of the reason you want to do all that is because that's exactly what's going to be

The Parents Are Not Alright
"I'm in the virtual studio today with producer Ginny Moon Hey Jeannie I'm waving to you all the way from Harlem, Hey Maria, I'm in Queens. So Jeannie were talking about our favorite topic today parenting, right? Yeah and parenting in twenty twenty is a whole new level parenting. You know what I have adult children now. So honestly, I am so thankful that I do not have to be raising little kids during this time I just can't imagine. So what have you been doing because how old is your little boy now Medina's turning three it's been an adventure I don't know how else to put it. But in this adventure, you're not really going anywhere, right? No, it's an adventure within the four walls of our apartment. So what's it been like like? How do you even manage it I don't some days and some days I do. I had to cut back to part time. So when everything shut down I, just tried to manage the best I could. But it became too much I. was burnt out I was trying to work at night I was trying to work in his nap times and also like switching gears from mom to try and. Write an email or work I can't multitask again if I have a toddler running around in the background running my life like he's the boss, I can hear my in the background saying Mommy's. But yeah, you just Kinda deal with it. Yeah. I have to say in the beginning the only way I made it through, was my coffee in the morning and passing the torch to the wine that I would have to the day. I know you're tired genie as a parent but the thing is, is that when people are tired, they're like, oh, my God the last thing I want to do is go to work but for you, you're like I'm tired I really WanNa go to work yeah. Because I just WANNA. Work without distractions like how many times a day do I have seen running in here and being like me and like L. And he wants to play and like. Hangman. And it's nice. I had review. On some level, but I really just want to focus for an eight. Hour Day Without a distraction and it's because it's really hard to switch gears feel like women are good at multitasking. But this is not one of those scenarios I wanNA parent when I need to parent and I wanna work when I need to work I can't do both at the same time. So. This whole thing about the schools being closed down like New York City like they try to never close the schools down, right? Yeah. So the fact that they did shut down and they shut down all around the country poses a really big challenge because. Not, everybody can set up for remote learning I mean not everybody has Internet. Some kids only get their meals if they're going to school so. It really has been a challenge on a lot of different levels. So you decided that you like all parents you're like, okay I need to talk to other parents and commiserate and think and see how other people are doing it. So you didn't gather a group of parents I guess virtually right? Yeah I did because there's been a slew of articles about the mental load that everybody is dealing with as parents because you're not meant to do both things at once like you can't parent and work full-time that's why childcare exists and none of this was meant to be a long term solution. But I do want to say before we start that even though we have all been affected by the pandemic, all of us participating in today's roundtable have been fortunate enough to still be working in some format. So we're all healthy and we're all grateful for that but we're barely hanging on by threat. So here we go. I want to welcome from Dallas Texas we have. dinty Cabanas. Hi. How are you? Thank you for having me. So glad you're here I have Joe Marvin Tura from Richmond California. For having me and I have to Haida Alencastro from Orlando Florida. Hey thank you. Teeny. Thanks for having me and just the disclaimer everyone knows to hide it and I have actually known each other for like twenty years. So no surprises there little bit. All right. So I just want to quickly go around the virtual room. And tell me about your kids what you do. This is our Sia I am in Dallas. As you said, I have two little girls wind will be ten in three weeks. The other one will be four in two weeks. And I for fulltime digital marketing manager for. Mary. Kay Corporate here in Dallas Great Jomar. Hi I'm Joanna and I'm in Richmond. That's you know the bay area and my little one is turning three months and I teach elementary school. So juggling the new definition of a teacher and first time parent has been very, very interesting adventure. Into Haida. I have two kids. My son is ten years old and my daughter is about to be eight and a few weeks and I am a systems engineer for Lockheed. Martin but I work from home. So I've been A. Since two thousand and five. Okay. So we're going to start from the beginning. I think I mean I don't know about the rest of you but I think we all were kind of like Oh. This is going to be a few weeks we can do this. No big deal, but walk me through personally what? Each of you guys had to go through and like what kind of plan you came up with to get by for the end of the school year. Well for us like all of you we've had to adjust we did not work from home originally We were released for spring break and never came back. We were told we were going to stay. And do you learning and so it was a shock I'm not gonNA live my husband and I freaked out a little bit. But then we had to pivot really quickly. Right what are we going to do? Do we have the right equipment to we have the right setup at the House Both of our kids are in the same school. So that was one good thing because it was need to everybody. So the school they know what they were doing. We know what we're doing the girls were like what's going on? So the ambiguity of it all was really challenging for all of us. But we just started getting a routine down our dining room became our command center. So I would say the first two weeks were horrible I'm not GonNa lie but I think we've all pivoted. Can and so I was pivoting at home I was pivoting at work. And even with myself like how am I going to take time for myself and you know lose it But I'm not allowed I'm sure I'm not a lot. Of. This
Startup Showcase with Scott Kitun
Congress releases scathing report on Boeing 737 Max
"Words, deception and basically disturbing both words used In a scathing report from Congress on their investigation into the Boeing 7 37 max development. It's re sort of its certification and maybe even it's re certification and about its relationship with the FAA. Pretty damning stuff. Right, John? By far the report that came out of the House Transportation Infrastructure Committee. Really highlights of very really damning picture of how Boeing and the FAA went about certifying the 7, 37, Max and All the missed opportunities to alter course and I think that you know, really spells, you know? Ultimately, a process breakdown about how this whole thing proceeded seemingly normally. But again going back in retrospect and looking at all these different opportunities to change course on DH account for this. The design of the 7 37 different way really is you see that over and over and over again in the house ended up collecting over it's over teaching of investigation. And it's my It's my guess that some people might actually go to prison on this because the actual behavior in my estimation was criminal. You know when you talk about criminal negligence It's written all over this, but it goes back to the basic relationship that the Federal Aviation Administration has with both manufacturers and with airlines. Two areas. They're supposed to regulate their not their clients. They're not. They're partners. I remember John being an immediate United Airlines. You may have even been there that day. I think you were When one of the operation guys, you know that stood up and said, You know, we are going to get the plane recertified. We're working with our partners at the FAA. And I stood up immediately and raised my hand and said, Excuse me. Did you just defined the Federal Aviation Administration as your partner? Isn't that the root problem here? And, uh, I didn't get a good answer. Because if you go back to the history of the FAA, we're talking decades. The people that actually certify any airplane, whether it's Boeing or in the old days, McDonnell Douglas or Lockheed or Convair. The people who certify that plane is airworthy. Or actually, on the payroll of the manufacturer. They're called FAA designated inspectors. Now, if that doesn't scream conflict of interest, I don't know what does The amazing thing is that that discussion is not new mean you like you just said that this this goes back decades. I mean, when when you hung it at you know what happened when the MacDonald does. DC 10 was ground back in the late seventies. There was all this discussion around delegated authority and how and how they're not. The FAA was able to act as an adequate regulator of Of those they were tasked with regulating And by the way, and by the way, John in that particular case, I know it so well. American Airlines maintenance guys figure out they could save four hours per engine change in maintenance by violating the maintenance manual and using a forklift truck instead of doing it with with pulleys and levers. Which violated the maintenance man, and they actually want told the FAA. They're gonna violate it. And the FAA said Okay and in the plane that crashed American flight 1 91 in Chicago, which, by the way, still ranks As the worst aviation disaster in this country in history. Up on the plane in question they were putting on a new engine. They have to fasten it with special bolts, and they had two of the bolts in two of the four bolts in when the when the lunch whistle blew So they went to lunch, and during lunch, they forklift lost pressure. Which is the reason why McDonald Douglas didn't want him to use a forklift truck. It bet one of the bolts and broke the other, but they didn't know it came back and install the other two bolts. They flew the plane empty to Chicago on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, Back in 1979 and They took out a full load of passengers for Los Angeles. We know what happened next. So this we knew this. You know you're absolutely right. This this is this is or 40 years ago, just about Yeah, and you know, And when you look at the DC 10 I mean, I've spent a lot of time in the last two years looking at the history of it because it is so similar to the 7 37. You know a lot of the new Certainly the root causes were different around the maintenance. Of the engine and how it was attached the aircraft, But there are there were definitely issues around around looking at the same core issues as your craft manufactures, which is how do humans interact with their technology? And how do How did an aircraft respond to damage and it's never just one thing

The U.S. Hypersonics Program Matures
"We're here because really in the span of a couple of weeks, our knowledge of the US hypersonic weapons program is significantly expanded and a lot of these disparate pieces that we have been tracking are falling into place. Steve. been at the forefront of reporting a lot of these developments. Can you summarize the highlights for us? Right well, just to kind of give you a a an update Eh cross the entire spectrum because it's a huge portfolio. So let's go back to March that was the last flight test hypersonic flight tests that the DOD has has carried out with that was with the blog zero common hypersonic lied body. That's the glide body that's going to be the front end for the army's long range hypersonic weapon and the Navy's intermediate range, conventional prom strike, which is summering launch missile. That was a successful flight test It was later described by president trump as a as the super duper missile We were trying to figure out what that was, but that according to CNN's reporting. That's that's what he was referring to. At the time. The Air Force meanwhile has got a couple of different programs. Ongoing one is the AGM one, eighty, three A. Rapid Response Weapon Lockheed Martin design for for both the front front end and the integration, and they did a captive carry flight tests that would appear to be pretty successful just a couple of weeks ago and they are moving that into flight test with the FRONTON actually incorporating the design from the tactical boost glide program from Darpa that was supposed to be an independent separate. Well, not quite there. They are linked that was supposed to be a separate flight test program that they've now folded that into the aero vehicle design and will continue testing that through era there. was also on the Hawk programs. That's the next set of flight tests that are supposed to be happening That's hypersonic everything weapon concepts which is basically a scream jet powered cruise missile There's a Lockheed version and Raytheon version We know back in May that the Lockheed attempted to do a captive carry test with their version of the Hawk missile but there was some kind of failure during the flight test We still don't know exactly what it, what it was but it appeared to be somewhat damaging and but since then we hit me for nothing about. where. They're going with that except for the fact that the Air Force a few weeks ago, launched a follow on program to develop an operational prototype. Jet Powered cruise missile that you know would be a follow on to the the program But in the competition Air Force basically selected three companies a couple of weeks ago to form the competitive field for the follow on Hawk missile and those three companies are Lockheed Raytheon and Boeing. Which of course, the interesting part there is Boeing locking Raytheon are heavily involved in the Arrow Program and the TV g program and Hawk program, but Boeing has been shut out. So this gives them a chance to come back into the hypersonic Arena for at one point buying of course, was the sort of champion in especially in the air breathing propulsion space with the x fifty one program, and if you go way back I'm sure guy could could chime in on on these programs would be like the space shuttle and fifteen with Boeing's legacy companies so. That kind of brings us up to speed with where we are right now.

Accenture’s aerospace team reveals strategies for aerospace CEOs looking to the future
"What is the state of aerospace and defense today, and what's your outlook for twenty twenty one and has that changed at all in the in the recent past Recent past go back into a January February odd things have changed dramatically. If you say recent past in terms of how feeling today for. So spilling back in in. June. Not Not nearly as much. I think know by sum it up I think I look at the industry and so almost tell two cities. If you remember that Dickens novel where on the commercial side, we have all kinds of things going on and you know the impact of airlines and the reduction in capacity, and now reduced number of aircraft being taken and all that kind of stuff going on dampening down you know the business and Yoga Cyber Defence and defence. Largely continuing to perform you know well There are some some issues. There are some blips in supply chain certainly related to things like covid. But it's really is tell to city and we look at Boeing and Airbus both announcing production rates and rate cuts, and of course, we have the existing 737 challenge facing history as well. No I think there's a different side of the coin when we start looking at what's happening on the defense side. And what is that different side of the coin much more positive right? Well, it's much more positive and you know this morning are. Reported there the results in in even just in our she concede example of the Tele two cities playing out. Right now and you know. I think. What I'd like to say is that looking at what's what we're hearing and if we were going to go into farmer air, show the share, which, of course, unfortunately, we did not every year accenture steps back and looks at kind of what we're seeing across the numerous research elements that we have our tech vision, our commercial index and supply chain research, and we look at the work we're doing for clients we look at what we're talking to our. Clients about in terms of where their priorities are. We look at what's going on in industry at large, and from that, we try to distill out what we think are really going to be the you know quote unquote stories to watch and weird do that this year Joe I think there's four things that I think would come out in their four things that I hear consistently I think pat would echo this well when we talked to sea level executives Across our clients defense and commercial, those four things are related to cash management number one number two supply chains smart manufacturing number three workforce in workforce impact in a before's is really rounding technology in systems in resiliency of those systems. into look thinking about where we are today in covert and and what companies need be thinking about as they look forward, their calendar twenty-one. Those four things are really top of mind. Pat, what's what are your thoughts had? We gone to Farnborough what were you prepared to be talking about I? Think the themes that John mentioned are spot on one concept that intertwined through cash management supply chain workforce and systems resiliency is really a need to continue the digital transformation the the level of of change that aerospace and defense companies are dealing with today is is really unprecedented and I think it's changed Focus of of trying to accelerate the agility of decision-making workforces is been fascinating topic. How has a house the debate on that changed in this? I mean, we had a lot of ish. A lot of the talk was about workforce shortages and now companies are laying off tens of thousands of people said, Short Term Blip, John, I mean what are you telling companies to do to be prepared for the workforce of the future? You know. It's interesting. If you think back a couple years, we're worried about the grace. ooh Nami and everybody retiring he let me go back back to January timeframe worried about shortages whether it's pilots are or people in the maintenance shops in of course, we see companies laying off and furloughing on the commercial side, but we also see companies on the defense side hiring, right? So I think Lockheed announced five thousand new hires northbound eight thousand new. Hires right. So it's almost again that tell see what's happening but I think you know the three things that were talking to clients lot about now in this code world where we have more people remark in remotely than we ever did before Amsterdam you have more you're gonNA WANNA add onto this but it's really about you know the people experience how how each individual worker is being interacted with with their company and that comes down to. How they were who they work with and how they get their work done. The second thing is around or Culture. The culture particularly, I think in our industry and maybe I'm biased because I'm in this of this industry but you know you walk into the building and you see the sign, you see the flag, you walk through the hallways almost any aerospace defense office or even in factory assembly floor, and you see the product you see pictures of the product you see people, pictures of people using the products I mean that helps build culture. Now, I, see the four walls of my Home Office or maybe it's my kitchen table or wherever I happen to be working remotely. It's it's a big topic these days how you manage in we'd and maintain culture in the third is really about the work itself and how the workforce works at work in Delhi deals with things like remote collectively high-performance compute environments. Can I get to those from homes cure environment
