Russia plans to build a nuclear power plant on the Moon Roscosmos says it aims to complete the project by 2036. After that, it plans to send nuclear-powered transport systems into space. Are they planning to build an oil refinery there too? Just in case.

Weekly Travel Update DULLES AIRPORT EXPANSION $UAL Washington Dulles International Airport unveiled a $20+ billion modernization plan, featuring over 5 million square feet of new and renovated facilities, expanded AeroTrain service, and new concourses. The decade-long project strengthens United Airlines' hub, increases gate capacity, and aims to enhance international travel while supporting long-term regional economic growth. B&P TUNNEL PROJECT ADVANCES Amtrak announced major construction progress on its B&P Tunnel Replacement Program, including tunnel boring machine production and key infrastructure work, while identifying design optimizations to reduce costs and improve efficiency. The project, targeted for completion in 2036, will replace the 153-year-old rail bottleneck, improving safety, reliability, and capacity along the Northeast Corridor. TAP PRIVATIZATION BIDS Lufthansa and Air France-KLM submitted binding offers for a minority stake of up to 49.9% in Portugal's state-owned TAP, advancing the airline's privatization process. The acquisition would strengthen each carrier's transatlantic network, particularly to Brazil, Africa, and North America, with the Portuguese government expected to select a preferred bidder by early September.

Investors are worried about Oracle's credit: Oracle's, $ORCL, 5-year credit default swaps (CDS) are up to a record ~203 basis points. This means protection against Oracle's default now costs ~$203,000 for every $10 million of principal. Oracle's CDS have more than QUADRUPLED since mid-2025, even surpassing the 2008 Financial Crisis peak. The company’s borrowing costs are also rising, with the spread on its 6.7% notes due 2056 widening +8 bps on Monday, to 263 bps, and its 5.7% notes due 2036 widening +9 bps, to 205 bps. Meanwhile, S&P Global Ratings downgraded Oracle to BBB- on July 9th, just 1 notch above junk, citing its rapidly growing AI-related spending. Oracle's credit risk is at crisis levels.

BREAKING: US federal debt has officially risen above $39 trillion for the first time in history, now up +$2 trillion over the last 8 months. Since the debt ceiling was lifted in early July, US debt has risen +$2.8 trillion. Total US debt has nearly DOUBLED since 2018, with the US Debt-to-GDP ratio now up to 124%. Meanwhile, US debt is projected to surge +$2.4 trillion per year over the next 10 years, reaching a record $64 trillion by 2036, according to CBO estimates. The US debt crisis is out of control.

2034 Earth–Venus–Mars opportunity looks promising. 10–15 on-orbit refueling operations may be needed to make a crewed ship full. Most can be done at an altitude of 180–200 km, made possible by Starship’s size. The final refueling may be performed at a higher altitude of ~2000 km, just below the Van Allen belt. Earth departure on 2034-08-21 from 2000 km orbit. A Trans-Venus Injection burn of ~3.7 km/s will place the ship on an Earth–Venus–Earth free-return trajectory. Venus flyby is expected on 2034-12-19, 120 days after departure. Two weeks before the encounter, if the mission proceeds as planned, a 25-m/s maneuver will shift the trajectory from Earth-return to Mars-bound. If not, the ship will free return to Earth in September 2035. The Venus gravity assist will send the ship into another Earth free-return trajectory, with Mars flyby around 2035-06-02. One week before reaching Mars, a system health check will determine whether to commit to Mars Orbit Insertion. If it’s GO, a small 10-m/s manuever will put the ship to less than 100 km altitude periapsis. Otherwise, a Mars flyby will lead to an Earth return in May 2036. The ship will enter the Martian atmosphere at about 9.4 km/s, performing an aerobrake to slow to 4.88 km/s and capture into a 100x140000 km, 7-day period high elliptical orbit. At apoapsis, a 50-m/s plane change will align the inclination with Mars’ equator, followed by additional aerobraking to remove about 650 m/s of velocity, placing the spacecraft in a 120x6128 km orbit. A 550-m/s burn at 6128 km altitude will then adjust the trajectory into Phobos orbit. The ship will stay at Phobos for about 7 days. The Mars–Phobos L1 point is only about two miles above Phobos’ surface, and Mars would dominate nearly half the sky, appearing about 80 times larger than the Moon from Earth. The ship will depart for Deimos afterward. Two burns totaling roughly 750 m/s will transfer the ship from Phobos to Deimos. And the ship will stay at Deimos for 7 days more. From Deimos, the ship will raise its apoapsis to form a 20000x140000 km altitude, 7-day orbit, requiring about 420 m/s of delta-v. At apogee, a 50-m/s burn will adjust inclination and lower periapsis to ~500 km for final Trans-Earth Injection. If time and propellant allow, the orbit can be aligned to a polar inclination for Mars ice-cap observations before departure. A Trans-Earth Injection burn at 500 km altitude, requiring 1.5–1.6 km/s of delta-v in early July 2035. If departure on the first days in July, Earth arrival is expected in December 2035. If missed that window, a March 2036 arrival may look more feasible. Nominal mission duration: 490 days, with 30 days in Mars orbit and 14 days at Phobos and Deimos. Two planets, two moons for 3.7+0.025+0.010+0.05+0.42+0.55+0.75+1.55=7.06 km/s Δv

Iran doesn’t want the Strait of Hormuz closed, they want it open so they can make $500 Million Dollars a day (which is, therefore, what they are losing if it is closed!). They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to “save face.” People approached me four days ago, saying, “Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately.” But if we do that, there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!
