Habitable moons
Interesting article on looking for habitable planets among the moons of gas giants. I am skeptical that a moon of a gas giant could be habitable given the extended period of darkness that would be the result of most orbits. (Post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

Argh
Stuff like this needs to stop happening. The Navy needs a bigger fleet and things like this will sour the public on that idea.
ZM Ho-229
I am glad to see Zoukei Mura getting into 72nd scale. Not sure how much better their Ho-229 will be than the current Revell kit, but we shall see.

French H160
Interesting article on the new French replacement helicopter. It will be interesting to see if this has any success beyond the French military.

Lasers
China has developed a hand-held laser. It looks to be mainly useful for crowd control and maybe anti-terror operations at the moment.
The US may put laser weapons on the F-35. Interesting.
Not to be outdone, the US Army is going to field a 100Kw laser for anti-drone, anti-mortar defense.

Latest space news
The Chinese are getting into the heavy lift rocket business. We’ve finally got images of a new planet being born (sort of). Interesting times in space news. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger.)

Missile defense
More evidence that the Pacific is the most important strategic area right now. I suspect that more of these will be built. Look for one in Japan at some point.
