Barbara's 47-page pamphlet names the midterms enemy: an Empire that used Wall Street and the Communist mob against the American System. Five weeks out, the two systems collide at the UN, in Brazil, and at the pump.
Two conductors. One score. Two opposite ideas of man. This week's Class puts FurtwĂ€ngler against Toscanini â and tonal against atonal. The fight over your ear is the fight for your children's future.
Media howled over an autopen joke and the Xi summitâwhile Trump dismantles Kissingerâs 50-year framework, Xi says the Thucydides Trap can be overcome, and Rubio permanently holds both State Dept. and National Security Advisor.
We're covering the momentous catch of the Superheavy booster, electric air taxis, extending human lifespans, and building
beautiful buildings and cities.
"... Starship is designed to achieve reflight of its rocket booster ultimately within an hour after liftoff. The booster returns within ~5 minutes, so the remaining time is reloading propellant and placing a ship on top of the booster." https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1845633730154545465

Moon and Mars Colonization Moves a Big Step Closer With Superheavy Catch
On October 13th, SpaceX successfully plucked the Superheavy booster rocket out of the air with the "Mechazilla arms" attached to the same launch tower from which it had launched (with more than twice the thrust of the Saturn V) about six minutes earlier. This is a key step to setting up permanent human operations on the Moon and Mars.
The current plan is to make this system so reliable, that each Superheavy could be launched several times a day (like an airliner). Until we develop fission or fusion rocket powered space tugs to cycle between the Earth and the Moon, or the Earth and Mars, each Starship launched past Earth orbit will require 6 to 8 refueling flights by other Starships.
We should also note that SpaceX had been waiting since August to get permission from the Federal Aviation Administration to make this flight. The FAA had attempted to delay the launch until late November! Pressure from NASA, Congress, and the general public seems to have had an effect. See the 1 min. video below. MAGA!
Check out the one minute landing video. Gwynne is the president of SpaceX.
Flying Cars: One More Reason We Need a Trump Presidency
"We need to have these things flying safely in the next 36 months!" In this video the CEOs of Joby, Archer, and Wiskâthree American electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) air taxi companiesâdiscuss the stultifying processes of FAA certification. Even though they are American companies, building American aircraft, the first commercial use of their systems will be in 2025 in the UAE, because of the determination of Muáž„ammad bin ZÄyid Äl NahyÄn (MZB) to foster innovation in his country. They also mention the video that President Trump made about fostering this technology. There is much more here that is worth your time. Despite the FAA, this technology is coming quickly and will have giant effects on the U.S. economy.

Bruce Director digs into your comments from the Aug 29 class: why the British System is inherently entropic, why no equation can predict a creative discovery, and how frontier science backs the American Systemâs idea of man.
Cable news is arguing eggs, beef, gas, and Iran. Bruce Director spent Saturday night on the real midterm question: American System vs. British System â two flavors of the same entropy, and nine weeks to pick a future.
Chatbots dominate the AI argument. Brian Lantz spent Saturday night on the other kind â robots, machine shops, and factory floors â and why manufacturing, not the data center, is where the country actually gets richer.
Four new nuclear reactors went critical in a single month â America's first in 40 years. Brian Lantz on the factory boom the media won't name, and the apprenticeship programs that pay you to help build it. The hardest problem was never the physics.
