You know how, when you think you've heard everything stupid there is to say , and then you hear something like this?

The gospel according to Independent.co.uk - A rocket launched by Elon Musk’s SpaceX last week from California may have punched a hole in the Earth’s ionosphere, a new analysis suggests.
The assessment points out that the Falcon 9 rocket launched on 19 July from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, likely punched a hole in the ionosphere – a layer around Earth consisting of the fourth state of matter plasma, with a sea of electrically charged particles floating at about 80-650km (50-400 miles) above the surface. 
Reviewing footage from the launch, space physicist Jeff Baumgardner from Boston University in the US, said it was “quite possible” that an ionospheric “hole” was made by the launch.
Sounds to me like we're back to punching holes in the ozone layer with our hair spray again...

Wildwood, New jersey became the latest Jersey Shore destination to enact a tougher curfew for minors earlier this week in response to what officials described as “increasing incidents of disorderly conduct” by teenagers. Officials also proposed a new ordinance that would close the beaches at 9 p.m. and hinted that more new rules may be on the way. The board of commissioners unanimously passed an emergency ordinance on Wednesday that pushes back the curfew for minors under 18 years old in any public place from 1 a.m. to midnight, unless they are accompanied by a parent or guardian or traveling to or from a business or job.

The biggest problem facing air travel these days 
is a very severe lack of pilots.

base in Ohio. They're carrying their parachutes.
Back in 1942, the United States was faced with an even more severe shortage of pilots, and leaders gambled on an experimental program to help fill the void: Train women to fly military aircraft so male pilots could be released for combat duty overseas. The group of female pilots was called the Women Airforce Service Pilots — WASP for short.

  1. Scared me there. For a moment, I thought Elon had punched a hole in the Firmament and we were all going to drown.
    New Jersey "teens"...

  2. When local gubmints use the word 'Teens', they ain't talkin bout most folks who might have been at Yasgur's Farm for a music festival. Sidenote; Back in '69, The world was in a pandemic situation for the Hong Kong Flu, which killed thousands. No masks or quarantines were necessary.

  3. The lady pilots are carrying their reserve chutes, not their main chutes.

  4. The “great tragedy” would be to allow this farce of a civilized society to continue to devour intelligent, compassionate and decent people and replace them with nothing but affirmative action idiots and various other miscreants. Once you’ve tried to use civility, facts and reason to debate these anti-White knuckle-draggers face-to-face, you will then fully understand how nothing short of brute force combined with unwavering resolve is the only thing that will keep them from destroying you and your family.

    You can’t reason with unreasonable people. You can’t expect selfless compassion and sensible behaviors from people who have never shown themselves to have any kind of moral compass that wasn’t tied to their own self-serving interests. They will gladly kill you and not feel one ounce of regret or remorse. In fact, they’ll probably brag about it.

    Sympathy and compassion are wasted emotions and character traits if not given proper context. Civility is a useless and counterproductive principle if it is methodically used to keep you passive and docile while the hordes slowly take you down, piece by piece. One day we are all going to have to play our little part and be that animal or savage that we thought we would never have to be. If you can’t be that animal, then you better be willing to throw your unconditional support behind those that can.

    When the Time is right, it will all make sense and come together rather quickly.

  5. the ionosphere hole is plausible, but it would be extremely temporary. Run a bit of DC down a wire, and hook it up to an O-scope. Form several loops of the wire into a coil. Push an iron rod into that coil, and you've made an electromagnet. But you will see something on the O-scope. A rocket is made of metal, which is usually conductive. Push it through an electric field and you might get a similar response, and if you have super sensitive ground based detection gear you might be able to notice it. Once the iron rod is out of the coil, or the rocket out of the ionosphere, things instantly go back to normal.

    The teen curfew thing is happening up and down the whole Jersey Shore. Now, I can't say which teens are doing the crazy stuff, but the earliest of these vids showed large crowds of blacks, many doing naughty things, while any more recent vids show huge crowds of white kids walking around. So it's either a media whitewash, or the crowd demographic has shifted or expanded, and the color thing no longer matters. But the fact is, Down The Shore has been a teen haven for summertime hooks up and parties since forever. And that brings in a LOT of money. Maybe these towns should just STHU? The money spent by families is mostly for rentals. The money spent by teens is everything else that's for sale up and down the boardwalks.
