The average sunspot number for May 2024 was 172, the highest value in 22 years. So far, June is even higher at 200. If this continues for the rest of the month, June could log the highest sunspot counts since Dec. 2001, rivaling the peak of potent Solar Cycle 23. Solar flare alerts:SMS Text
THE LASER-LIKE ANTI-TAIL OF COMET 12P: Today, Earth is passing through the orbital plane of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks. “This is causing it to develop a laser-like anti-tail,” reports astronomer Ian Griffin, who sends this photo from Otago, New Zealand:
“It was an amazing display,” says Griffin.
In Griffin’s photo, the anti-tail is the very sharp line pointing toward the upper right. It’s “anti” because it points directly opposite the comet’s regular gas tail (lower left).
What is this anti-tail? It’s an optical illusion. Anti-tails appear when Earth passes through a comet’s orbital plane. During the crossing, the sharp edge of the comet’s fan-shaped dust tail narrows to a laser-like line and appears to point toward the sun.
This phenomenon will be visible for the next few days. Southern hemisphere astronomers can find the comet in the constellation Lepus ~20 degrees below the celestial equator. With a magnitude of +7, the comet is an easy target for amateur telescopes. Submit your photos here.
GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH–CONTINUED: NOAA forecasters remain confident that a CME will graze Earth’s magnetic field on June 1st. It was hurled into space by an X1.4-flare on May 29th. The glancing blow could cause G2-class geomagnetic storms. CME impact alerts:SMS Text
YET ANOTHER X-FLARE: Sunspot AR3664 (a.k.a. AR3697) has decayed, but it is still potent. On May 31st it emitted another X-flare (X1.1), the third this week. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the extreme ultraviolet flash:
Radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth’s atmosphere, briefly causing a shortwave radio blackout over the Pacific side of North America. Signals below 30 MHz faded for as much as 30 minutes after the flare’s peak (May 31st @ 2203 UT).
The flare, while intense, was too brief to lift a significant CME out of the sun’s atmosphere. SOHO coronagraph images show no solar storm clouds heading for Earth.
What makes a decaying sunspot like AR3664 so active? This magnetic map provides the answer:
Within the sunspot’s primary core, two oppositely-signed magnetic poles are crowded together, + vs. -. (Just like the Tzolkin Harmonic and our DNA-same thing) When this happens, magnetic recombination(Tone 1 in the magnetosphere QFactor Layer) can cause very powerful explosions even from a sunspot that’s falling apart. NOAA forecasters estimate a 35% chance of X-flares and a 75% chance of M-flares on June 1st. Solar flare alerts:SMS Text
SPACE WEATHER BALLOON DATA: Almost once a week, Spaceweather.com and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus fly space weather balloons to the stratosphere over California. These balloons are equipped with sensors that detect secondary cosmic rays, a form of radiation from space that can penetrate all the way down to Earth’s surface. Our monitoring program has been underway without interruption for 7 years, resulting in a unique dataset of in situ atmospheric measurements.
Latest results (July 2022): Atmospheric radiation is decreasing in 2022. Our latest measurements in July 2022 registered a 6-year low:
What’s going on? Ironically, the radiation drop is caused by increasing solar activity. Solar Cycle 25 has roared to life faster than forecasters expected. The sun’s strengthening and increasingly tangled magnetic field repels cosmic rays from deep space. In addition, solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) sweep aside cosmic rays, causing sharp reductions called “Forbush Decreases.” The two effects blend together to bring daily radiation levels down.
.Who cares? Cosmic rays are a surprisingly “down to Earth” form of space weather. They can alter the chemistry of the atmosphere, trigger lightning, and penetrate commercial airplanes. According to a study from the Harvard T.H. Chan school of public health, crews of aircraft have higher rates of cancer than the general population. The researchers listed cosmic rays, irregular sleep habits, and chemical contaminants as leading risk factors. A number of controversial studies (#1, #2, #3, #4) go even further, linking cosmic rays with cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
(So when you see reports saying that solar activity and the hertz ELM levels in the magnetosphere won’t affect you physically, they are lying. NASA I think, says they don’t. NOAA is not the same as NASA. They work together but basically, NASA is the Feds and they keep secrets from humanity big time. NOAA doesn’t.)
Technical notes: The radiation sensors onboard our helium balloons detect X-rays and gamma-rays in the energy range 10 keV to 20 MeV. These energies span the range of medical X-ray machines and airport security scanners.
Data points in the graph labeled “Stratospheric Radiation” correspond to the peak of the Regener-Pfotzer maximum, which lies about 67,000 feet above central California. When cosmic rays crash into Earth’s atmosphere, they produce a spray of secondary particles that is most intense at the entrance to the stratosphere. Physicists Eric Regener and Georg Pfotzer discovered the maximum using balloons in the 1930s and it is what we are measuring today.
That means all life on the surface was affected by the sun, it stands to reason.This is a no-brainer. Unless you don’t consider yourself alive, even though you are. Humans are electromagnetic inherently.-L.T.
(In my office, my QI pen won’t operate unless I have my hand on the patient’s body while holding the pen. That proves it. We all have natural electromagnetism in our bodies, give it off and draw it in when it’s rife in the ambient air around us as it was during the solar storm.)

Across the USA on May 10th and 11th, sky watchers marveled at bright displays of aurora borealis during the biggest geomagnetic storm in decades. Little did they know, something was also happening underfoot. (Not just underfoot. Why would it just be underfoot?)
Strong electrical currents were surging through rocks and soil (all life if you bother to check). The biggest voltages along the US eastern seaboard and in the Midwest were as much as 10,000 times normal. A map from NOAA and the US Geological Survey shows some of the ‘hot spots’ during the early hours of May 11th:
Back in March 1989, voltages only a little stronger than the ones shown above brought down the entire Hydro-Québec power system. The resulting Great Québec Blackout plunged millions of Canadians into darkness.
This time, however, power grids stayed up. “We haven’t heard of any serious problems so far,” reports Christopher Balch of NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center.
Balch leads an effort at NOAA to model geoelectric fields during solar storms. The map, above, is a snapshot from a real-time display that takes into account the 3D conductivity of the Earth and ongoing geomagnetic activity. A computer at the Space Weather Prediction Center crunches the data to produce minute-by-minute estimates of electricity in the ground.
“I started working on this in 2011 after a NOAA Space Weather Workshop where representatives from the power industry asked for a geoelectric field model,” recalls Balch. “It’s a collaboration between NOAA, the US Geological Survey and others; we now have a version that covers much of Canada and the United States.”
A power blackout (left) and transformer damage (right) during the March 1989 storm.
When researchers talk about geoelectric fields they use units of volts per km (V/km). Earth’s crust naturally contains quiet-time fields measuring as little as 0.01 V/km. During geomagnetic storms, these values skyrocket.
“On May 10-11, geoelectric amplitudes exceeded 10 V/km in Virginia and 9 V/km in the upper Midwest,” says Jeffrey Love, a key member of the collaboration at the USGS. “These are very high. For comparison, we estimate that geoelectric amplitudes reached almost 22 V/km in Virginia during the March 1989 storm.”
This means the May 2024 storm was, electrically speaking, about half as intense as the storm that blacked out Québec 35 years ago. That’s too close for comfort. “Although power companies have taken measures to improve the resilience of their systems, no one would welcome another storm as intense as that of March 1989,” says Love.

THIS IS AN ALPHA POINT of Unity👉 TO REVERSE POLARITY IN THE HARMONIC. On Thursday, this is double reversal and a spin. This is not normal.
I just hit duplicate for this post. Today is Thursday, 2/29/2024, in SPACE. It’s 1 Monkey again in time, in HF33, in implicate order. EPIC!
2/29 adds to 13 and 2024 adds to 8 but has that big old 0 between the 2 and the 2. There ya have it.
That’s funny because I watched “Young Sheldon” talking to his physicist professors last night, and they wrote an equation that proved that 0 doesn’t exist and they all hurled. 🤮😳😳 because it completely changes spacetime and all math! Not to mention Binary Code which is all ones and zeros. Dang straight. And here we are. People better learn to be flexible in this universe and on this planet.
It is incredible hubris when so-called men of science say physics has LAWS. It has habits such as Rupert Sheldrake, Red 13 Cosmic Dragon indicates in his books.
Here we are again!! Lol
On Thursday, today, we double reversed it to lock up the back door. The bad actors have no clue what the coordinates are. THE UNIVERSE CHANGED THE LOCKS. Lololol

The Sun and Mercury come together in the sign of Pisces early today, and both bodies align with Saturn (late morning and afternoon).
This superior conjunction of Mercury and the Sun can stimulate an epiphany, illumination of a matter, or a clearing of the air. It can give us a nice window of opportunity to see our goals more clearly. We are sharp and communicative, and what we say or write now has a strong impact, for better or worse! An idea or plan can come to full bloom, or ideas and realizations now are pivotal. While it’s a mentally stimulating time, we may want to watch for intellectualizing issues that require sensitivity.
With Saturn involved, we can be determined to know the whole of a situation, particularly on an objective, practical level. We tend to think and communicate about serious matters, responsibilities, obligations, and worries or grievances. We may be addressing a problem once and for all. Our ability to concentrate is enhanced now, possibly because circumstances call for it. There could be an increased need for solitude to think or solve problems. We might make a verbal or written commitment, or we could experience a form of a reality check. It can be a time to work on a revised plan for creating order in our lives or on an old project that requires a new commitment. Emotional energy is not enough to fuel us for the time being! As such, we could feel drained on a physical level. However, recommitting to goals, shouldering responsibilities, and carefully using our resources could feed our need for structure and order, helping to get us back on track.
The Moon is void today until the Moon enters Scorpio today at 10:09 PM EST.

Take it easy if you have a headache or your eyes hurt. Drink plenty of water, eat less, and use Refresh Eyedrops. Watch for eyedrop recalls. Starlink satellites from SpaceX are likely affected.
The Tomsk, Russia ScR station has been down for at least a day. I can’t start logging data yet. As far as the Earth Holon, we are squarely in the Blue Eagle TIme Portal at the N. Pole, 60 degrees N–105 degrees W in N. Saskatuan Canada by Uranium City on the border of the N. Territories. This area covers much of the East Coast expecting snowmagedden probably tonight, the Great Lakes (No big weather for us. Sunny here.), much of NE Canada and up into Greenland. The combination of the Time portal changes, earth changes, and the changes in the magnetosphere change the weather.
SOLAR RADIATION STORM–NOW: For the second time in less than a week, energetic solar protons are raining down on Earth’s upper atmosphere. Forecasters call this a “solar radiation storm.” Today’s storm (near category S2) is rich in “hard protons” wiith energies greater than 50 MeV. It is causing a shortwave radio blackout inside the Arctic Circle and speckling the cameras of some Earth-orbiting satellites. (Starlink)
The plot above shows storm data recorded by NOAA’s GOES-18 satellite in Earth orbit. Sensors on the satellite are counting energetic protons as they pass by en route to Earth. Triggered by an explosion near the sun’s southwestern limb (inset), this storm could last for another 24 hours. Solar flare alerts:SMS Text
IS A ‘CANNIBAL CME’ COMING? Since Feb. 7th, the sun has hurled multiple CMEs into space. A handful of them might hit Earth this week. A new NOAA forecast model shows at least three solar storm clouds approaching for strikes on Feb. 13th:
The closely-spaced arrival of these three CMEs could spark G1 (Minor) to G2-class (Moderate) geomagnetic storms with high-latitude auroras in northern Europe, Canada, and northern-tier US states from Maine to Washington.
There’s a chance the CMEs will pile up to form a Cannibal CME. This happens when one fast-moving CME sweeps up slower-moving CMEs in front of it. Cannibal CMEs typically contain strong shocks and enhanced magnetic fields that do a good job sparking geomagnetic storms. If such a pile-up occurs, the combined strike could cause a G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storm with auroras at mid-latitudes. CME Impact alerts:SMS Text
The Schumann Resonance measuring the Magnetosphere of Earth
We’ve got big action in the amplitude layers. The spectrogram shows the reality of the SOUND in the very upper layers which I have conjectured means the 3rd belt is starting to show up with Cosmic Tone 13.
The amps are already at the top of the range at 17hz starting at 4am today and we’re 2 hours from midnight it’s blasting up on all layers at the top of their ranges.
The frequencies are normal. The QFactor also blasted up at 4am but came down.
The Sun
The Earth’s magnetosphere is one with the heliosphere, the region surrounding the Sun, and the solar system that is filled with the solar magnetic field and the protons and electrons of the solar wind. The solar magnetic field in the heliosphere has a dipole structure.
THESOLAR FORECAST CALLS FOR QUIET: Hyperactive sunspot AR3561, which peppered Earth with dozens of solar flares last week, is now exhausted. The active region has almost-completely stopped flaring and, as a result, this weekend is expected to be quiet. Solar flare alerts:SMS Text
RARE AURORA CURLS: Regular readers may recall how we have occasionally reported on magnetic sine waves rippling through Earth’s magnetic field, causing the magnetosphere to ring like a bell. (!!😳-LT. So…there we have it)
On Jan. 16th, Jeff Dai looked up and actually saw one of those waves over the Kerid Crater in Iceland:
“I captured this rare image of ‘aurora curls,” says Dai. “They rippled across the zenith for several minutes.”
Dai, who is vacationing in Iceland from China, asked Xing-Yu Li of Peking University’s Institute of Space Physics and Applied Technology for help in understanding the aurora curls. “Imagine that Earth’s magnetic field is like a guitar string,” says Li. “In Jeff Dai’s picture we are seeing vibrations in that string.” Their wavelength, Li estimates, is several kilometers.
Normally this kind of magnetic pulsation is seen only as a squiggle on a chart recorder. In this case, however, energetic particles from space flowed down the rippling geomagnetic field, causing it to glow with aurora light and write the wave across the sky. It was a very rare sighting, indeed.
The Maya Harmonic-4D Time-Synchronicity
We see from pondering the reality above that this is how spacetime is unified. The dipole structure of the heliosphere is in exact sync with the Maya Harmonic – and + from left to right. All points in space and time are connected by literal, electromagnetic minds and brains in all life, light and sound.
Therefore, it is without a doubt that the synchronicity of people and events and astrological psychology have a basis in astronomy and physics. Astrology nor astronomy are a joke, and the ancients knew it.The idea that Godcould bea male technological AI IS a joke. AI, like computers will only ever be tools subject to Life’s wishes.
Today is Blue 8 Galactic Storm or Cauac in Maya archetypes. It is Tryptophan amino acid protein in life. It is mediated by PLUTO. Also moving are Saturn, Mercury, and Uranus. We have a pretty high sync between 3 and 4D today.
Uranus stations and turns direct early today. Uranus has been retrograde since September 1st, and with its station, Uranian energy hangs heavy in the air this week. (Uranus mediates our Hidden Wisdom today)
As the planet gains speed in the next few weeks, our urge to express our unique selves, take some chances or risks, rebel, listen to our instincts, and stir up change are reawakened or externalized.
Mercury aligns with Mars in the sign of Capricorn this morning, and both bodies form squares to the North Node of the Moon tonight and early tomorrow. (Mercury mediates our antipode Red 8 Galactic Moon today. High sync.) We can be very interested in producing ideas and fixing problems! The Mercury-Mars conjunction is a good influence for motivated, energetic work related to communications and the mind. Since it occurs in the sign of Capricorn, practical goals may be the subject. Mercury-Mars excites and over-stimulates our nerves. We want to get to the point so that communications can be insensitive. Keeping busy and making headway satisfies us more than usual, and it’s best to channel excess mental energy constructively. Tensions are possible, particularly as we can be over-excited about an idea or resist considering others’ input. Later today, the tendency is to overthink, over explain, or over analyze, which can be a form of procrastination or emotional avoidance. Possible blocks to our progress might also involve excess ego and/or impatience. (This depends on your interests or perceptions) Temporarily, our desires can work at cross purposes with what we’re striving to be, making decisions choppy. Impulsive or competitive communications and actions can hinder growth, improvement, and direction. We could also be juggling too many tasks to our detriment.
The Moon moves into detail-oriented, conscientious Virgo at 2:11 PM EST, and we’re zeroing in on problem areas.
We also approach a Venus-Saturn sextile, exact early tomorrow, that encourages a considered, practical approach, particularly in our social lives. It’s a grounding influence that helps stabilize our affections. We place a higher value on security, steadiness, and loyalty. This transit boosts the appeal of the ordinary and reliable–we appreciate longstanding alliances or tried-and-true pleasures. We are more responsible with others and with our own feelings and affections. Our judgment is sound, and we’re a little more conservative with money under this influence. We can enjoy planning and organizing.
The Moon is void until it enters Virgo today at 2:11 PM EST.

The 18,000-member United States Space Command, a unified all-service command under the Department of Defense (DOD), and the 8,600-member United States Space Force, the eighth U.S. military branch established in December 2019, are the nation’s space-keepers.
Space Command and Space Force are charged with ensuring the security of global satellite communications, “space domain awareness,” offensive and defensive “space control effects,” and digital positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services that are all critical for military command-and-control operations in outer space and on Earth.

The United States is spearheading a global attempt “to establish norms of responsible behavior” to guide how nations conduct business in space, he said, noting the DOD has published a proposed ‘Tenets of Space Behavior’ and the United States has signed onto the seven-nation Coalition Space Operations Initiative that recognizes “we have to behave a certain way if we want a safe, sustainable space domain.”

They conduct business in space! That’s the ICC supposedly based on Jupiter in the interior. You never hear Biden or Dems talking about Space Force because he is c@$%^ and in league with the ICC against Earth Alliance.

Investigators have also found nucleobases, key ingredients of DNA, in meteorites before. However, it has been very difficult to prove that these molecules are not contamination from sources on Earth. [5 Bold Claims of Alien Life]
“People have been finding nucleobases in meteorites for about 50 years now, and have been trying to figure out if they are of biological origin or not,” study co-author Jim Cleaves, a chemist at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, told SPACE.com.
To help confirm if any nucleobases seen in meteorites were of extraterrestrial origin, scientists used the latest scientific analysis techniques on samples from a dozen meteorites — 11 organic-rich meteorites called carbon aceous chondrites and one ureilite, a very rare type of meteorite with a different chemical composition. This was the first time all but two of these meteorites had been analyzed for nucleobases.
The analytical techniques probed the mass and other features of the molecules to identify the presence of extraterrestrial nucleobases and see that they apparently did not come from the surrounding area.
Two of the carbonaceous chondrites contained a diverse array of nucleobases and structurally similar compounds known as nucleobase analogs. Intriguingly, three of these nucleobase analogs are very rare in Earth biology and were not found in soil and ice samples from the areas near where the meteorites were collected at the parts-per-billion limits of their detection techniques.
“Finding nucleobase compounds not typically found in Earth’s biochemistry strongly supports an extraterrestrial origin,” Cleaves said.
“At the start of this project, it looked like the nucleobases in these meteorites were terrestrial contamination — these results were a very big surprise for me,” study lead author Michael Callahan, an analytical chemist and astrobiologist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, told SPACE.com.
Lab experiments showed that chemical reactions of ammonia and cyanide, compounds that are common in space, could generate nucleobases and nucleobase analogs very similar to those found in the carbonaceous chondrites. However, the relative abundances of these molecules between the experiments and the meteorites differed, which might be due to further chemical and thermal influences from space.
These findings reveal that meteorites may have been molecular tool kits, providing the essential building blocks for life on Earth, Cleaves said. [7 Theories on the Origin of Life]
“All of this has implications for the origins of life on Earth and potentially elsewhere,” Callahan said. “Are these building blocks of life transferred to other places where they might be useful? Can alternative building blocks be used to build other things?”
In a different study, researchers discovered molecules that make up key parts of a vital biological pathway, the citric acid cycle, in a number of carbonaceous chondrites. The citric acid cycle is “thought by many experts to be among the most ancient of biological processes,” study co-author George Cooper, a chemist at NASA Ames Research Center, told SPACE.com. “One function of this cycle is respiration, when organisms give off carbon dioxide.”
“It is always exciting to find extraterrestrial and ancient 4.6 billion-year-old organic compounds that might have had a role in early life,” Cooper added.
Cleaves, Cooper and their colleagues detailed their findings in two studies online Aug. 8 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

• US Air Force Lieutenant General Steven L. Kwast (pictured above) served as Commander of the 47th Operations Group at Laughlin Air Force Base and the 4th Fighter Wing at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, and had support within the Armed Forces to be appointed as the Commander of the Pentagon’s Space Force. Instead, Kwast retired this past September. On November 20, 2019, Kwast gave a lecture titled “The Urgent Need for a U.S. Space Force” at Hillsdale College in Washington, D.C.
• In his talk, Kwast claimed that China is already building a “Navy in space” complete with the space-based equivalents of “battleships and destroyers”, and that the US is not keeping up. We know that China has been rapidly expanding its presence in space in recent years, placing a lander on the Moon last year as a possible first step toward a permanent Moon base. China has also been developing “mothership” aircraft from which to launch ‘space planes’ and other payloads into space. China has been investing heavily in manned and unmanned space technologies that rivals, and in some ways, exceeds our own. Kwast believes we need a Space Force in order to counter Chinese advances and win the competition over the economy of the future and, as an extension, the political values for the future.
• Kwast says the “the power of space will change world power forever” and that it’s up to the United States military to leverage that power. The nature of the power of a competitive advantage is “you either have it and your values rule or you do not have it and you must submit. We see that play out again and again in history and it’s playing out now,” Kwast argues. “[China] will pass us in the next few years if we do not do something. They will win this race and then they will put roadblocks up to space.”
• Around the 12:00 mark in the speech (see video below), Kwast makes the somewhat bizarre claim that
“The U.S. currently possesses revolutionary technologies that could render current aerospace capabilities obsolete: “[M]ost Americans and most members of Congress have not had time to really look deeply at what is going on here. … [T]echnology can be built today (that can)… deliver any human being from any place on planet Earth to any other place in less than an hour.”
• Other military leaders have made curious comments lately alluding that we could be on the precipice of a great leap in transportation technology. There are many within the U.S. military and analyst community who feel a great need to boost investment in American space technologies and the U.S. military’s presence in space. That vision is taking root across the Defense Department.
• Kwast has published several op-eds in recent years pushing for the U.S. military to take on a greater role in space in order to ensure American economic dominance and what he sees as the continued proliferation of American values. Some have said that Kwast was blacklisted and prematurely relieved of his duties after speaking out on space-related issues in violation of a service-wide gag order. Kwast declined to comment.
• Is all this setting the stage for a new space race that will benefit mankind by furthering scientific and technological development, or is it ushering in the conditions for the first great space war?
Recently retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General Steven L. Kwast gave a lecture last month that seems to further signal that the next major battlefield will be outer space. While military leadership rattling the space sabers is nothing new, Kwast’s lecture included comments that heavily hint at the possibility that the United States military and its industry partners may have already developed next-generation technologies that have the potential to drastically change the aerospace field, and human civilization, forever. Is this mere posturing or could we actually be on the verge of making science fiction a reality?
Who Is Steven Kwast?
According to his official USAF biography, Lt. Gen. Kwast graduated from the United States Air Force Academy with a degree in astronautical engineering, and also holds a master’s degree in public policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. Kwast previously served as Commander of the 47th Operations Group at Laughlin Air Force Base and the 4th Fighter Wing at Seymour Johnson AFB. Kwast boasts more than 3,300 flight hours in the F-15E, T-6, T-37, and T-38 and over 650 combat hours.
Lt. Gen. Kwast most recently served as Commander of the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), but retired in August. According to some reports, Kwast was prematurely relieved of his duties at JBSA and blacklisted for promotion after speaking out on space-related issues despite a service-wide gag order. Kwast declined to comment on the reports and retired on September 1, 2019.
Despite the controversy surrounding his removal from his post at AETC, some defense analysts and Lt. Gen. Kwast’s own supporters within the Armed Forces were suggesting prior to his retirement that he should be appointed as Commander of the Pentagon’s budding Space Force. Kwast has published several op-eds in recent years pushing for the U.S. military to take on a greater role in space in order to ensure American economic dominance and what he sees as the continued proliferation of American values.
Gaining The High Ground In Space
Kwast delivered a lecture at Hillsdale College in Washington, D.C. on November 20, 2019, titled “The Urgent Need for a U.S. Space Force.” Kwast’s wide-ranging speech described the power of new technologies to revolutionize humankind, referencing the competitive advantage the discovery of fire offered to early humans and the strategic value that nuclear weapons offered 20th-century superpowers. When it comes to current revolutionary technologies, Kwast says the “the power of space will change world power forever” and that it’s up to the United States military to leverage that power: “As a historian, reflecting on the fact that throughout the history of mankind… technology has always changed world power. But the story of rejecting the new and holding and clinging to the paradigms of the past is why no civilization has ever lasted forever, and values are trumped by other values when another civilization figures out a way of finding a competitive advantage. The nature of power, you either have it and your values rule or you do not have it and you must submit. We see that play out again and again in history and it’s playing out now.”
As has been common as of late, Lt. Gen Kwast cites rapidly growing Chinese military and technological advances as the reason why the United States must invest heavily in new space-based technologies. “We can say today we are dominant in space but the trend lines are what you have to look at and they will pass us in the next few years if we do not do something. They will win this race and then they will put roadblocks up to space,” Kwast argues, “because once you get the high ground, that strategic high ground, it’s curtains for anybody trying to get to that high ground behind them.”
