• U.S. Weaponry Is Turning Syria Into Proxy War With Russia – The New York Times

CIA Weapons now flooding into Syria since Russian support began.

The American-made TOW antitank missiles began arriving in the region in 2013, through a covert program run by the United States, Saudi Arabia and other allies to help certain C.I.A.-vetted insurgent groups battle the Syrian government.
The weapons are delivered to the field by American allies, but the United States approves their destination. That suggests that the newly steady battlefield supply has at least tacit American approval, now that Russian air power is backing President Bashar al-Assad.
“By bombing us, Russia is bombing the 13 ‘Friends of Syria’ countries,” he said, referring to the group of the United States and its allies that called for the ouster of Mr. Assad after his crackdown on political protests in 2011.

The C.I.A. program that delivered the TOWs (an acronym for tube-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided missiles) is separate from — and significantly larger than — the failed $500 million Pentagon program that was canceled last week after it trained only a handful of fighters. That was unsuccessful largely because few recruits would agree to its goal of fighting only the militant Islamic State and not Mr. Assad.

Rebel commanders scoffed when asked about reports of the delivery of 500 TOWs from Saudi Arabia, saying it was an insignificant number compared with what is available. Saudi Arabia in 2013 ordered more than 13,000 of them. Given that American weapons contracts require disclosure of the “end user,” insurgents said they were being delivered with Washington’s approval.

The post AROS Broadway | LAS | s17e07 first appeared on Jupiter Broadcasting.

Superbowl scmuperbowl. We’re geeks, and we cared more about what NASA was talking about this weekend, than a bunch of dudes throwing around a ball. And our nerdy attention paid off!

First up, we talk about seeing the WHOLE sun – every last part of its flamey surface. Then we’ll talk about the robots that will eventually kill off humanity, and NASA’s plans to send them into orbit to save us. Lastly, we’ll cover some NASA-related news that’s shown up in the real world lately, regarding the future of the Space Shuttle, as well as their research into a well-known and overhyped “disaster” story from last year.

SUPERBOWL DEBUT:

360-degree view of our Sun for the first time ever

• Satellite array known as “STEREO” has been slowly adjusting its orbit since launch in 2006.
• Why it’s important:
  • Can disrupt satellites, communications, air and sea navigation, even power grids.
  • As potentially devastating as a hurricane
• Continued 360 view will continue until Sept 2017
• Understanding “space weather” prior to space travel is as important as understanding terrestrial weather prior to sea travel.

Robonaut2 (aka “R2”) debuts during GM pre-show

• “The dexterity of R2 allows it to use the same tools that astronauts use and removes the need for specialized tools just for robots.”
• Planned to join the crew of the ISS on shuttle #STS-133 (to launch Feb 24)

IN THE NEWS:

NASA debunks electronics failure as reason behind “Runaway Toyotas”

• Backing from NASA scientists intended to give extra weight to argument that these cars did not go haywire due to high-tech electronics.
• Toyota recall affected 16 million vehicles, and cost them $50million in civil penalties.

NASA’s COMPETITION:

A private company vying for the honor of winning Google’s Lunar X Prize has signed a contract to launch its lunar module aboard a COMMERCIAL orbital flight, scheduled for December 2013.
