Kessler dice rolling events this week. Also sonic booms in SLO, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties.

Yeah, things are terrible here in the benighted US, but I built and flew a #rocket made from an empty spool of 3D printer filament. So there's that.

Head's up Santa Barbara, Ventura County - ICBM launch sometime tonight out of Vandenberg. (not loaded with a nuke... hopefully).
Sometime between 11pm and 5am. I won't be awake. Take pictures/video!
Wonder if this will be more visible from Arizona than the fog of SoCal. 🤔

More stuff being launched by man with spazzy arms into space, rolling Kessler dice agian.
"Vandenberg Space Force Base Guardians and Airmen are scheduled to support the launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying 28 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit, Thursday, October 30th, between 1:06 - 5:06 p.m. PT from Space Launch Complex 4 East.
Based on Vandenberg SFB's updated audibility modeling, launch-related noise may be audible along the Central Coast from Santa Maria to Oxnard, with a sonic boom most likely to be heard in Santa Barbara, Ojai, and Ventura.""

The cycle-path over the Afsluitdijk might have been "temporarily" closed since 2019 but some things are still possible. For instance, we can fire Israeli rockets from it, paid for with Dutch taxes and produced by a company heavily involved in the Israeli genocide being carried out against the Palestinian people.
In the UK, the peaceful protest group Palestine Action was recently proscribed as a "terrorist" group. Palestine Action have in the past damaged property belong to Elbit Systems because that company produces weapons which have been used to kill Palestinians.
Though the majority of the Dutch population wants to see our government take action against Israel, our government continues to buy many weapons from Israeli companies, including from Elbit Systems who produced the rockets which have just been fired from the Afsluitdijk.
And of course there's still no sign of when exactly that cycle-path might re-open. That's not nearly so important as propping up a genocidal state by buying weapons from them.
Make it make sense.
