Emir of Qatar said his country’s revenue dropped by 42 percent in first half of this year due to Islamic Iran strikes on tankers and closure of Hormuz. Sometimes, I think “thank God Qatar did not exist when Saddam invaded Kuwait in 1990.” Doha would have started a mediation to appease the tyrant and give him the Mubarak Port and the border oil fields. Qatar is the worst thing that has happened to the Gulf region since 1999.

اللهم ارحم والدي الغالي رحمةً واسعة، واغفر له، ونوّر قبره، وآنس وحشته، واجعل قبره روضةً من رياض الجنة، واجمعنا به في الفردوس الأعلى.

Remember when the Biden admin set up a $42.5bn dollar program for rural broadband? Despite awarding over $18 billion, it hasn't even connected 1% of the people it was supposed to after more than 5 years. Starlink is going to beat it to the punch for a fraction of the cost.

Build it and they will come…

It’s getting sporty up there. Chinese ISR satellite Yaogan 50-02 blew up (sorry, “broke up”) at 590 miles around 20 July.. Then American spy satellite USA-32 “breaks up” at 480 miles on 13 Sept… Next day, 14 Sept, US announces to the world it has space weapons in orbit.

In an interview with @amanpour on @CNN, HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs directly addressed misinformation around Qatar’s assistance to Gaza, outlining how assistance was coordinated with the UN and Israeli authorities.

In a few days, NordSpace’s very first satellite is headed to space. Proudly, it is carrying the names of many of the beautiful people at NordSpace who made this mission possible — including the handprint of my baby boy. His handprint in orbit this year, footprint on the surface of the Moon next year. I am grateful beyond words to my team and family. Godspeed, Terra Nova!

An anti-AI protest outside Google’s offices today. Note the presence of a Palestinian flag. Can someone please explain the alignment between the Palestinian and anti-AI protestors?

President Trump's Board of Peace will unveil a six-month, $2.45 billion recovery plan for Gaza, per Axios.

Rocket Lab CEO @Peter_J_Beck breaks the entire space industry into 3 simple layers, from rockets to the services we use every day: "I probably shouldn't have called it Rocket Lab. I should have called it Space Lab. The rocket always steals the show because it's this big roaring stick in the sky." "Rockets, that's about a $10 or $20 billion industry. Spacecraft, the tools in space to provide services, 20 to $30 billion. And then the reason why you do all of those things are applications in space." "Space is kinda weird that it's hidden infrastructure. You don't drive past it every day, so you don't see it. But everybody interfaces with space every single day, whether you realize it or not." "We build rockets, we build satellites, and with our acquisition of Iridium, we're also a services company from space." @RocketLab

When we first launched a components business, we caught a fair amount of flack going the “wrong way” down the value chain. It turns out to have been an incredible way to play a very small part (literally) in a ton of inspiring corners of the US space renaissance.

It is deeply disappointing to see America’s senior-most representative to Israel @USAmbIsrael speak so disparagingly—and inaccurately—about Qatar, a Major Non-NATO Ally and key strategic partner of the United States. For the record, once again: Qatar has nothing to do with antisemitism or anti-Israel sentiment on American college campuses. These allegations have been examined repeatedly and have not been substantiated at all. I and many others have addressed this point, repeatedly. Before the Senate Armed Services Committee, then Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines made clear there was no evidence linking Qatar to the campus protests in question. The overwhelming majority of Qatar’s funding to these institutions supports the operation of their campuses in Qatar. These are large, fully functioning universities educating students in Qatar and across the region through American academic institutions and American educational standards. Because these are American universities, the funds generally flow through and are reported by their U.S.-based institutions. But that does not mean the money is being spent to influence students or political discourse on campuses in the United States. Once the costs associated with operating these campuses in Qatar are separated from the headline figures, Qatar’s direct philanthropic giving to universities inside the United States is comparatively limited. @StateDept_NEA

Today, we’re launching Meteoric (YC S26). Our drones clear clouds over solar farms to increase their annual output by 10-30% without using any chemicals. Ultimate target: weaken severe storms and hurricanes. meteoric.earth

PAKISTAN: Ahead of the third anniversary of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s ongoing detention, Isabelle Lassee, Amnesty International’s Acting Regional Director for South Asia, said: “For three years, Pakistan’s authorities have systematically denied Imran Khan the right to a fair trial, subjected him to prolonged solitary confinement, and limited his access to medical care and visitation rights. He has not been allowed to meet his family for more than eight months and his vision has reportedly deteriorated significantly. Both he and his wife, Bushra Bibi Khan, have now been denied regular access to legal counsel since December 2025." Read more: amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…
