Keep in mind that “having a plan”, doesn’t say when that plan is to be executed.
If you asked me, every object launched into orbit, should have a safe de-orbit plan beforehand. Chances are, as more private entities get onboard launching space stations, there might be regulations put in place to require a de-orbit plan for the launch to get approved.
Getting a de-orbit plan for the ISS now, might be just a preemptive plan for when those regulations get enacted.
Agreed, though NASA is definitely planning to Deorbit the ISS, probably sometime after 2030.
They’re not trying to get ahead of some regulation, but want to stop having to spend so many resources on maintaining it, when they could be doing other things.
SpaceX’s track record for orbital insertion definitely had something to do with that. When last I knew, N-G didn’t have its own launch facilities (that might’ve changed in the last few years but I doubt it).
Kinda surprised tbh. We had one of the highest COVID vaccination rates in Europe and I’ve personally never met or even heard of an anti vaxxer. I’m clearly living in a bubble because 68 cases in the republic in such a short timespan is a whole load.
At least 71 Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air strike that hit a densely populated area of displaced people in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis in Gaza, the Hamas-run health ministry says.
The Israeli military had designated this area as a safe zone, urging Palestinians to seek shelter there.
I feel sick. I hope all Israeli war criminals will end up in prison, starting with Netanyahu.

Israeli media is reporting that senior Hamas leader Mohammed Deif was a target of the attack.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold security talks through the day, his office said according to Reuters.
An eyewitness told the BBC that the site of the strike looked like an “earthquake” had hit, and videos from the area show smouldering wreckage and bloodied casualties being loaded onto stretchers.
People can be seen trying desperately to pick through the rubble of a large crater with their hands.Footage from the nearby Kuwait field hospital revealed chaos with patients being treated on the floor.A Hamas official, cited by Reuters, called the attack a “grave escalation” that showed Israel was not interested in reaching a ceasefire agreement.
The original article contains 195 words, the summary contains 195 words. Saved 0%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Two Israeli officials said that the military had targeted Mr. Deif while he was inside a fenced Hamas-run compound that was not used as a camp for displaced people.
That isn’t really what the rest of article you linked to says. The next two paragraphs are about video evidence that partially (and maybe wholly) contradicts the IDF statement you quoted:
Video filmed at the scene of the strike appeared to corroborate parts of the military’s statement but not others.
Filmed by Mustafa Abutaha, a professor of English, the footage showed a large crater in a tree-lined plot of land close to a four-story residential building. A high wall separated part of the plot from the road, suggesting that it was an enclosed compound. But as he filmed the video, Mr. Abutaha said the plot had housed displaced people. Shortly afterward, a second man passed in front of the camera, holding a motionless child.
The NY Times isn’t reporting from the ground. They have a statement from the IDF and video footage contradicting at least part of the IDF’s story.
Were all these people in Rafah who were bombed and murdered ‘‘Hamas’’? Was the child who got beheaded a Hamas member? The video is still somewhere on Instagram but Instagram is restricting all accounts with it.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says it “is not absolutely certain” that Hamas terror chief Muhammad Deif and his deputy Rafa’a Salameh were eliminated in today’s IDF strike in Gaza.
Wow great success there. Just bomb the safe zone refugee camp and if anyone asks you ‘missed deif’ oopsie haha.
So I learned recently countries have a calculation of how many civilians would be acceptable casualties in order to eliminate a high value target.
For example, the US in it’s hunt for Bin-Laden, had an acceptable civilian casualty number of 30 to kill him.
Israel just killed 71 and wounded who knows how many more to hit a guy I’ve never heard of. They say they probably didn’t get him, and today I learned they’ve already killed his family in other strikes and he may have even been dead for years at this point.
The casualty math is gross but I get it. What Israel is doing is pure atrocity. Biden needs to get off Netanyahu and the Republicans’ collective dick or we will have Trump cheering shit like this on.
Deif is right after Sinwar in the chain of command in Gaza.
Rafa Salama, the commander of the Khan Younis Brigade, was also targeted in that strike.
The attack was on a fenced Hamas compound. I’ve seen they already published satellite pictures from before and after the strike.
And so far I haven’t seen reports that distinguish between combatants and civilians. Either way Hamas combatants usually don’t wear uniforms. You can see it in the videos they publish.

You claim something but provide no evidence for the readers of your comment. So where’s the evidence? I’m curious. Any article I find writes only about Deif being the target, here’s one of them written on 13 July 2024:
It is not yet known if Deif was killed in the Israeli strike that targeted him Saturday
Israel’s military says it targeted Mohammed Deif, the commander of Hamas’s military wing, in a strike Saturday.
Israel said Saturday that it targeted Mohammed Deif, the shadowy Hamas military leader, in an operation in the Mawasi area of southern Gaza. There was no immediate confirmation that Deif was killed, but the strikes on an area packed with displaced people left at least 90 Palestinians dead and 300 injured, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
Your next text:
I’ve seen they already published satellite pictures from before and after the strike
You have already ‘seen’ it but provide no link to the source of your claim where you’ve seen it. Provide a source; otherwise, it’s just a rumor or a lie.
And so far I haven’t seen reports that distinguish between combatants and civilians. Either way Hamas combatants usually don’t wear uniforms. You can see it in the videos they publish.
The article is paywalled but the article is not the point, the image they use is. It shows how Hamas dresses usually. Sometimes they do wear normal clothes, just as IDF soldiers do. Did you forget what IDF did? Let me remind you:
The Israeli military said the strike against Deif also targeted Rafa Salama, the commander of Hamas’ Khan Younis Brigade, describing them as two of the masterminds of the Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel that triggered the nine-month war in Gaza
About the pictures, this article shows them.
Reuters also mentioned them, but it’s written they haven’t verified them yet.
I should’ve clarified. They aren’t currently using uniforms. As in, in the fighting since the 7th of October. They justify it themselves in interviews and you can see it in videos of theirs.
And that isn’t the IDF, it’s the Israeli police’s counter-terrorism unit.

It does not matter whether they are doing it now, later or in the past. My point is: both sides are purposefully blending in society of the Palestinian people and that Hamas does indeed have their own military uniforms.

So it is not verified yet or is it? As long as it is not verified by someone else than Israel or Hamas, how certain can we as viewers and readers be? Israel is known for lying to the entire world. Few examples of their lies:
And that isn’t the IDF, it’s the Israeli police’s counter-terrorism unit.
Making a distinct between IDF and their police unit does not matter. Israel is doing it as well. That’s my point. Therefore you cannot only ‘point fingers’ to Hamas.
Honestly my whole point of argument is; there’s no justifying what Israel has been doing since 7 October. Way (way) to many innocent Palestinian civillains have been murdered by Israel with very little ‘‘victory’’ for Israel. Israel’s PM goal is not achievable at all. Because Hamas will forever exist as long as Israel is the occupier, stealing land, illegal settlements, Apartheid and everything else they do towards the Palestinian people.
"Speaking to Newshour on the BBC World Service, Dr Mohammed Abu Rayya, who is at a hospital dealing with the aftermath of the attack, said the majority of those injured were suffering from multiple shrapnel wounds.
He said it was like being in “hell”, adding that many of the casualties were civilians, notably women and children. "
