Hail to the Glorious Twentieth of July! “In peace for all mankind” is the topic of this episode. There is a great deal I could have chosen to talk about, but it can wait for another day. Here is the document with all the goodwill messages, of which I read out a few. The list of world leaders is fascinating — there are emperors, dictators, governments in exile, all pledging their hopes and best wishes. Let us always rededicate ourselves to that end!

Power outage? Power outrage! (Not me, this time.) Also, another instalment of “don’t trust anyone who uses the word quantum” ; no news on the Boeing CST–100 is… no news ; the Ariane 6 is new but hardly novel ; uranium from a mine in Finland, but not a uranium mine ; implications of an obscure legal topic known as “Chevron deference” ; and so on.

Thanks to another aNONradiator, stug, host of “Flux” (Thursdays at 2000 UTC), I spend most of the show ruminating on the process of engineering design. In the process, I give a word–picture of my own pet design for a small nuclear “package power” plant, suitable for ship propulsion or modest shore–side requirements. Also, a change in policy on the part of data center operators which is really little more than a change in framing ; and the question of what constitutes “sustainable” aviation fuel.
