Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network has become a focus of serious strategic concern for Chinese military and government scientists. According to an Associated Press review, researchers have published dozens of papers examining how to track, disrupt or destroy the expanding satellite constellation, which they see as a clear national security threat.

Because I'm a beltway wonk, I think the most interesting thing about this story is something I had to bury at the end. Front Door Director Victor Vigliotti told me at an SSC media roundtable that it's been like "pulling teeth" to try to get other elements of Space Force, let alone the interagency, to collaborate on making Front Door a comprehensive repository of everything the Space Force knows about vendors. He said there was a lack of "top down direction" and that leadership needed to come from Space Force headquarters. It's rare to hear even indirect criticism of leadership like that on the record, let alone at an official public affairs event. It makes me think there must quite a lot of frustration at Vandenburg on this issue.

The most surprising thing to me, as I was reporting this story, was the crucial role of the T in PNT. People think about GPS as a way to get around , but timing, not positioning, might be the most critical service GPS provides to the US and broader global economy. There's two reasons:

1. Timing is fundamental. Computer networks, financial markets and electric power grids all need precise timing. GPS provides that for free through low-cost equipment. But what if it went away, even briefly?
2. Timing is poorly understood. It's pretty easy to know how accurate your location service has to be. Timing is different and many enterprises don't understand their timing requirement because they've never had to think about it.

Anyway, I hope you find the story interesting...

I know the camera has been quite inoperable for quite some time and they are only running essential systems for communication and a few instruments, but what would voyager 1’s POV look like by this point? I assume the sun is still very noticeable and hasn’t blended into the backdrop of all the other stars yet?
