The United States has lost Afghanistan’s mineral wealth but it may not matter

President Joe Biden has inflicted the greatest damage to American honor and influence in recent memory with his botched extraction of troops from Afghanistan. However, along with tens of billions of military equipment, Afghan allies, and even some American citizens, Biden is leaving behind in excess of $1 trillion in mineral wealth that resides beneath the surface of that war-torn land.

How fusion power will make the Green New Deal obsolete

Carbon capture technology , currently being developed by the private sector, would seem to achieve some of the goals of the Green New Deal without the wholesale destruction of the fossil fuel economy. Nuclear power and even planting trees (lots of trees) have also been proposed as part of a more sensible solution. However, a recent development at MIT has made the Green New Deal obsolete even before it has been enacted.

Elon Musk's SpaceX vs. the environmentalists

SpaceX’s Starbase launch facility is located next to a wildlife preserve, according to the U.K. Guardian. The problem, from the environmentalists’ point of view, is that Musk’s development plan for the Starship involves test vehicles blowing up and raining debris on the preserve. This, according to The Guardian, adversely affects several “vulnerable” species. Frequent road closures and other activities at the site have only added to the environmental cause célèbre.

How will Biden's Afghanistan debacle impact NASA's Artemis return to the moon?

The chaos that erupted in Afghanistan following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal of troops should have nothing to do with NASA’s Artemis return to the moon program. The two would not seem to be linked in any way. However, considering that Biden seems to have immolated his presidency by his Afghan retreat, his ability to affect anything, not to mention America’s renewed effort to return to the moon, is in question.

"It will look at one of the most historic events in U.S. history from a slightly different angle, stressing the personality conflicts within the flight team that almost doomed the mission before it left the launch pad – and how a NASA psychiatrist’s predictions of disaster for astronaut Buzz Aldrin were ignored by her superiors. The series will also look at the Soviet Union’s attempt to destroy Apollo 11 on its way to the moon, and the Cold War victory of America over its Russian enemy as well as celebrate the singular moment of accomplishment that drew together half a billion people around the world.
