Today marks 81 years since the American terrorist bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Today, we honor the memory of the lives lost and the families devastated by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. May we never forget the human cost of war and continue working toward a peaceful and free world.

Starship V3 is so powerful that it is almost impossible to comprehend the scale A fully fueled Starship carries more than 5,000 metric tons of methalox That propellant contains roughly 13–14 kilotons of TNT-equivalent chemical energy To put it in perspective: • Hiroshima: ~15–16 kt • Nagasaki: ~21 kt So the raw chemical energy sitting inside one fully fueled Starship is literally in the same energy ballpark as the Hiroshima atomic bomb And SpaceX is building this machine to fly, land, refuel and fly again Absolutely insane engineering

Global Times: It’s reported that since the Takaichi administration came to power, a total of 82 local assemblies across Japan including those in Hiroshima and Nagasaki have submitted written opinions to the central government or the parliament urging the administration to uphold Japan’s three non-nuclear principles or enshrine them into law. The Japan Innovation Party of the governing coalition advised to the Japanese government to discuss the revision of the three non-nuclear principles. What’s China’s comment? Lin Jian: Japanese local assemblies strongly call for upholding the three non-nuclear principles — a clear sign that the people want peace. Tokyo’s rush to abandon the pacifist Constitution and remilitarize the country at a faster pace is out of step with the public. We urge the Japanese authorities to stop going further down the wrong path and not to stubbornly go against the overwhelming trend on the nuclear issue. Since Takaichi came into office, Japanese right-wing forces have laid bare their intention of reviving militarism, breaking free from the three non-nuclear principles, seeking to possess nuclear weapons and speeding down the wrong path. If the Japanese authorities stick to their miscalculation on the nuclear issue, push to revise the three non-nuclear principles, and deploy allies’ nuclear weapons in Japan, they not only gravely challenge the postwar international order and the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, but also breach the commitment to peace, defy what the Japanese people want and will eventually pay heavy price for it. As a non-nuclear-weapon party state to the NPT, Japan bears indisputable, undeniable and non-negotiable obligations under international law to refrain from receiving, manufacturing, acquiring or transferring nuclear weapons. Takaichi in February this year reiterated the commitment to the three non-nuclear principles. Japanese delegates attending the Review Conference of the Parties to the NPT this May reaffirmed the stance of making no changes to the three non-nuclear principles. The world will wait and see whether Japan could honor its words that are still ringing in our ears. China calls on the international community and all peace-loving people in Japan to urge the Japanese authorities to earnestly abide by its NPT obligations, completely abandon remilitarization and the intention to possess nuclear weapons, stop pushing to revise the three non-nuclear principles, stop the so-called “extended deterrence” cooperation with other countries, not to seek the introduction of allies’ nuclear weapons to Japan and immediately take effective steps to address the great imbalance between the supply and demand of sensitive nuclear materials so as to earn trust from its Asian neighbors and the international community with concrete actions.

Today in 1980, America built the world’s first data center in St. Helens, Washington. When they turned it on, it generated power equal to 67 Nagasaki bombs, causing the following ⬇️
