U.S. Space Command confirms the break-up of the defunct Russian satellite Resurs P1 yesterday. It resulted in over 100 pieces of trackable debris.

Even though NASA has not identified the satellite that resulted in the defensive posture at the ISS yesterday, it probably was due to this satellite.

Cause of satellite break-up is not known at this time.

Goodbye To Euphemisms

To underscore this more nuanced view of space combat and provide more transparency, the new JP 3-14 actually abandons the long-controversial terms “space control” and “counterspace” — both of which over many years have been used as code for offensive space operations and the weaponry to support them.

Redditor's grandpa took this local image in 1960. Did you know this is where NASA started and it came out of the #USArmy? (But today, thanks to Tommy #Tuberville and his aggressive #misogynist #theocracy, #USSPACECOM will remain elsewhere.) #space

2/ Considering Musk's instability and support for U.S. enemies, I expect to see a rapid expansion of national security mission contracts with other launch partners such as ULA, Rocket Lab, Relativity Space, Firefly, and others. National security is simply at risk with too much invested in a company influenced by Musk. #space #DOD #military #USSF #USSPACECOM

#Firefly Aerospace just set a new responsive-launch record. Its Alpha rocket lifted off from #Vandenberg SFB on Thursday just 27 hours after the U.S. Space Force gave the order — less time than on any previous national security mission, demonstrating the "Space Force can rapidly integrate capabilities and will respond to aggression when called to do so on tactically relevant timelines" #space #DOD #military #USSF #USSPACECOM https://www.space.com/firefly-aerospace-rapid-launch-space-force-success

Local opinion on Tuberville sinking SPACECOM for AL.

"Tuberville’s manipulation of Senate rules to stonewall military promotions isn’t a novel, genius political tactic. He’s a toddler who found a pistol on the nightstand. And when the gun goes off, and somebody gets hurt, it’s not the kid that’s to blame. It’s the grownups who didn’t do anything to stop it from happening in the first place...We elected a day-trading, Florida-living, mediocre football coach to the U.S. Senate. The blame lands where the responsibility always was. We put the toddler in the room with the loose gun, and now we caught a bullet in the groin."

Except around 40+ percent of us didn't do that. We voted against every shit Republican on the ballot.

Officials: ‘Alabama still preferred location’ for Space Command headquarters

GEN Jim Dickinson gave AL lawmakers some confident, soothing noises about the #USSPACECOM move to Huntsville. It bears reminding that Dickinson is not the decider. However, I know him personally & it is not in his nature to make statements on controversial issues that are not supported all the way up his chain. The talking points would have been pre-reviewed.

‘It breaks our trust’: Huntsville-area leaders speak out on Space Command changes

Really? You know what really breaks our trust? Theofascist moron Tommy Tuberville attacking the entire U.S. military. And, btw, we haven't forgotten when criminal Cheeto Mussolini called us "suckers and losers" either. That broke our trust.

Alabama is a danger to women and families. SPACECOM should stay in Colorado.

Opinion | Space Command may be the price Alabama pays for Tuberville: Tuberville is the embodiment of everything wrong with Alabama politics and Alabama voters.

I couldn't have said it any better.

@velshi Exactly right. To Doug Jones' point, I sent a letter to #Tuberville telling him that people like me--AL residents who are military affiliated in a variety of ways--will not forget how he has damaged military readiness and AL overall with his attack on one of the largest employers in the state. He'll almost certainly single-handedly lose #USSPACECOM for AL as well. He is not only a deeply stupid man, he is demonstrably damaging national security for a bit of theo-fascist theater.

Interesting.
Breakup in two parts prior to reentry perhaps?

#USSPACECOM can confirm a second atmospheric reentry correlated with the #PRC’s Long March 5B #CZ5B as it exited the #USSPACECOM Area of Responsibility over the Northeast Pacific Ocean region at 4:06am MDT/10:06 UTC on Nov. 4. https://twitter.com/us_spacecom/status/1588479612610289664

#USSPACECOM can confirm the People’s Republic of China Long March 5B #CZ5B rocket re-entered the atmosphere over the south-central Pacific Ocean at 4:01am MDT/10:01 UTC on 11/4. For details on the uncontrolled reentry’s impact location, we once again refer you to the #PRC.

Re-entry of the #LongMarch5B booster confirmed by #USSpaceCom, https://twitter.com/US_SpaceCom/status/1588479612610289664. The predictions from late last night had it reentering over Spain, which would have been interesting in all sorts of ways. Seriously, the Chinese sort of have to stop doing this. 🙄 #spaceflight
