Public ICS Disclosures – Week of 8-9-25 – Part 2,
I posted the following to my social media feeds (X, Mastodon, Substack, and LinkedIn):
I posted the following to a discussion on Mastodon about today’s successful Starship 10 launch: “I watched the launch tonight and I am continually impressed with SpaceX’s flight test program, deliberately pushing the envelope by programming off-spec actions to test what the ship can and cannot survive. This is a costly way of doing business, but they are learning much more about their systems (and advancing their design) than if they only tried to launch perfect vehicles.”
I left the following comment on a discussion on Mastodon about a fake ICE raid in Houston that ended in a shootout: “And now Secretary Nooner, er Noem, will use this as justification for use of masked ICE agents, to further protect their safety.”
