#SpaceX From #SpaceNews:

*****

... [T]he Defense Department plans to add more than 100 of SpaceX’s #Starshield satellites to its future satcom architecture.

Starshield is a militarized version of SpaceX’s Starlink internet satellites, with enhanced encryption and other security features. And unlike Starlink, which is a commercial service, the Starshield satellites would be owned and controlled by the U.S. government.

#Baseball From MiLB.com about the passing of Steve Klauke.

"The Minor League Baseball community is in mourning. Steve Klauke, the longtime voice of the Salt Lake Bees, has died at the age of 69."

#Baseball Long-time Salt Lake Bees broadcaster Steve Klauke has passed away at age 69. Steve was a friend and a mentor, not just to me but to hundreds in the baseball industry. He could have been a big-league broadcaster -- in fact, the Angels "called him up" from time to time to work their radio games -- but he chose to remain in Salt Lake City.

This is his final game, September 24, 2023.

#Space #NASA Unconfirmed reports that long-time #Voyager mission project scientist Ed Stone has passed away. He led Voyager for 50 years, starting in 1972, before the Voyager probes launched. At one time, he was #JPL director.

The University of Mississippi has the Center for Air and Space Law. I always tell young aspiring lawyers that space law is The Next Big Thing. They publish a quarterly Journal of Space Law. You can find the issues for free at this link, if you want to scan through the articles (if law is your thing.)

"... she rebuked prosecutors’ approach to the indictment and wrote that it is confusing and that 'much of the language in the Superseding Indictment is legally unnecessary to serve the function of an indictment.'"

(Well, confusing to her ...)

#Politics Breaking from #WaPo: Judge Aileen Cannon tosses one paragraph in the charges in #Trump classified documents case, says it should be introduced at trial.

(Whenever that is ...)
