Happy #MapMonday. A while back I was commissioned to do a map for Possible History's Birthday (which was yesterday), depicting the result of a map game their friend group played some time ago.

Blue Origin is struggling to match SpaceX with launch vehicle production, but they've blown past them in terms of developing flight-worthy hardware for Artemis.

OR land near Maracaibo to back an opposition/separatist group. In either case, after invading and pacifying this region (which, again, no troops or aircraft necessary for such an operation have been brought to bear), US troops would have to drive over 400 miles to Caracas...

Not surprising when you consider the challenges of invading Venezuela. Caracas sits in a valley of the coastal mountain range. Anything more than a limited air mobile or airborne attack would require an invasion to a larger staging area, probably at Cumaná or in the Gulf of Praia...

There is no buildup or unusual activity at Fort Bragg, Joint Base San Antonio, or within Air Mobility Command.

On the 21st a B-52H bomber, a RC-135 Rivet Joint surveillance aircraft, a F/A-18 Super Hornet, and KC-135 refueling tanker conducted operations near Venezuela.

The 22nd MEU just completed a week's training on Trinidad and Tobago in urban and rural areas, including night operations and helicopter movements.

The US has also reactivated Fort Sherman in Panama and Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in Puerto Rico.

Thus far, Joint Task Force Southern Spear includes the Ford Carrier Group, the USS Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group, and the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU). All told around 12,000 Sailors and Marines are now in the region, along with fighter aircraft, helicopters, and landing craft.

Happy #MapMonday with maps of the 53rd and 54th states: South Texas and Mariana, both created during the 2nd Civil War.

South Texas was a product of the Free Texas movement, recognized as the legitimate government of Texas, before seceding from themselves.

Even if the figures on the green energy transition in China are accurate, it doesn't change the fact that China is the most overleveraged society in history. 5 years ago they were approaching double the private debt to GDP ratio of the US during the peak of subprime.

Vast is one of the few aerospace companies where I don't really have any connections. So I can't speak to their quality control or engineering. Looks kinda like the unbuilt Olympus program.
