One week after the ninth launch of Starship, something is not going well at the Spacex headquarters

by

There are few days left for the expected ninth test flight of Starship. Is scheduled, according to the Notice to navigatorsfor next Wednesday, May 21; And the tension is palpable. Not just because two previous starship will explode Before reaching its objective height, but because the situation in Starbase is quite similar to a pressure cooker. Morality in minimums. In recent days accusations have appeared on poor management of Starbase Since Elon Musk spends more time in the White House than at the company’s headquarters. A toxic work culture, serious security failures and managers’ behavior is undermining the moral of employees and putting the future of the company at risk, according to these complaints, published mainly on the social network X. The accusations, mainly poured by Morgan Wyatt Khan and Dylan Small, both ex -employed from Spacex, draw a bleak panorama in Starbase, the city that Elon Musk is building in Texas next to the factory and the starship launch facilities, the highest and most powerful rocket in the world. What should be a hotbed of enthusiasm seems to have become, for some, a hostile work environment. Risk situations. Morgan Wyatt Khan, who worked by installing engines in Starship, regrets having to leave a job he loved for the “disgusting and demoralizing behavior of the address.” In your messages, Ask for a Starbase audit and denounces the lack of knowledge and respect for the hardware from some workers. He also says he has seen robberies and risk situations, such as nitrogen exposure or the presence of “stones, screws, garbage and human waste” inside the rockets. He even mentions that the bosses ignored safety problems related to defective hydraulic systems and wonders if they are due to a negligent design or that “Elon has left Spacex in automatic pilot while dedicated to his adventures in the White House.” A “terrible” management. Dylan Small, who worked at Falcon 9 and later in Starship, describes the “terrible” Starbase management. Small recounts how he contracted tuberculosis during his stay in Starbase and the company handled the situation “unacceptable”, with “zero real support and a complete lack of attention.” Small denounces that Engineers attributed foreign ideasthat their requests to establish more efficient schedules were rejected and that I had never seen “so much personnel rotation and administrative dysfunction.” “Friends with more than 15 years in Spacex wonder what the hell has happened.” We need you, Elon. “Moral is low. People are burned and start feeling abandoned. Please come back and travel the plant,” Small writes in a message addressed to Elon Musk. “Talk to the technicians, the welders, the crane operators, the quality inspectors. Everyone continues to believe in the mission. They need you to help rekindle the spark.” The situation has reached such an extent that Musk himself responded to the accusations confirming that will be in Starbase next week To give a talk to employees before launch. Is Elon the solution? That is the big question. Elon Musk’s incursion into politics and his radical messages about immigration or gender ideology have led to, even within their companies, there is a growing division of opinions about his figure. Nor is it that Musk is known for promoting a healthy and pleasant work culture. His style tends more to micromanagement already exalt the overfoundputting as an example Your holiday aversion and the nights he has slept in his companies. As May water. At the moment of truth, morality will not improve unless Starship’s 9 flight is successful. To the explosions of flights 7 and 8 you have to add problems with an engine in a recent ignition test. Spacex needs, as May water, that the Starship 35 completes its objectives. But the most interesting thing will surely happen behind the scenes, where Elon Musk or some of their trusted people must take action on the matter to straighten the internal course of the company.

‘Tele family’ has earned many detractors in their first week. And that includes much of TVE

by

Only one week and the star program of the afternoons of La1, ”TV family‘, keep giving dislikes to RTVE. A new problem is now added to his weak audience results: the presence of his collaborator Marta Riesco in the Vatican has bothered the public entity’s council for the bad image he is giving. The controversy. This Thursday, Riesco appeared in the Vatican to cover Pope’s choice. A day later, the Informative Council launches a statement to protect RTVE’s credibility. In his opinion, the arrival of Riesco “to a clearly informative event” and “using the RTVE microphone” is problematic by the form and style, very similar to that of traditional news. “Information professionals in this house have long days in Rome informing seriously and rigorously,” says the statement. The singular thing about the case is that Riesco had no chance to inform too much: After a first block in which he informed about the situation and chatted with some nuns in a relaxed but serious and respectful tone, The White Fumata arrived. The address of ” The family of TV ‘cut the broadcast of the program to give way to the news. A day before, two historical RTVE, María Escario and Ángeles Caso, criticized La1 for including in their programming a space that could be understood as Continuation of ‘Save Me’: Scario, already retired, spread on social networks a very critical case of case Posted in article 14. The family in trouble. It is not the only stumbling block that ‘the family of TV’ has had: its first day of the first day of ride were not spectacular (8.7% and 9.1% of Share), but then they went down. He Tuesday They made 8.7% and 7.4%, and the Wednesday They touched background with a single 6.2%block. He Thursday It was issued only in desktop, and also obtained minimal in that strip, 8%. Facing next week, maybe RTVE has to consider the content and format of a space that for now does not rise from fourth place, leaving behind the sixth. Objective: Save the series. ‘TV family’ initially raised as a couple of square brackets that framed, with their two halves, to the two main dishes of the afternoon, the series ‘Wild Valley’ and ‘The Promise’. At the moment they are not being affected by the changes, and in fact on Thursday the first one made 10.1% of Sharethe Second best share of its history. But right now they are the float that keeps the afternoons of La1. Will RTVE continue to be risking that ‘the TV family’ drag with their results to seemingly infallible fictions? Innocence interrupted. ‘The family of TV’, with this unwanted controversy with the Informative Council and with the weak audience results, thus becomes the first great stumbling block of the Directive headed by Sergio Calderón. Under his mandate, programs are being happening (some of them, yes, inherited from the previous directive) that are working and renewing the image of RTVE: Broncano (which, yes, Starts to falter against ‘El Hormiguero’), Marc Giró, Buenafuente (That by the way, started with an excellent audience12.8%) … ‘The family of TV’ was a project clearly very dear to Calderón, since before he was in the direction of the public channel he worked in Studio manufacturers, producer of ‘Save Me’. A stumbling block that is still in time to fix if he does not want him to become a first notch in his history in RTVE.

Every week, millions of flies are released on the Valencia Community and, although it does not seem like it, it is a sensational idea

by

The Valencia war against the Mediterranean fruit fly dates back more than thirty years and is A constant reminder That going to war against an insect is never easy. It is not a reminder that is needed, the truth. Hundreds of regions around the world fight their particular conflicts with All kinds of insects, fungi or bacteria. If Valencia is important, it is something else. For a factory in caudete of the sources. An army of flies. Since at least 2017, the one we know today as Valencian Center for Genetic Fight It has been releasing hundreds of millions of flies weekly to combat pests. The technique is not new, but in this Valencian municipality they have led it to its maximum expression. Not for nothing is the largest bioplant in Europe and the second largest in the world: a reference in what is called “sterile insect technique”. Sterile insect? Yes, it is “a method of biological pest control that is based on raising males of the same species to fight that they are sterilized by irradiation.” These sterile males They are released to the fieldwhere they compete with wild males due to mating with females, “reducing plague levels by not giving rise to offspring.” Is a solution that “has been used in agriculture of multiple countries and in various flies and beetles. In addition, it is studied to fight against mosquitoes, in particular the Aedes“vectors of diseases such as dengue and chikungunya.” And is it viable? According to the Valencian example, it seems that. Although the regional government Spend about eight million Of euros a year, it has become a key piece in the defense of a sector that moves more than 10,000 million only in the region. As explained in the country: “In recent years there has been a very pronounced decrease in hectares of citrus treated with chemicals through aerial media (from about 330,000 at the beginning of the 21st century to just a few thousands of hectares today).” That is, it is a relatively cheap and quite effective project that also allows Very specific interventions And safe: “Since sterile males generally only appear with females of their own species, little effect on ecosystems is expected, unlike insecticides, which are toxic to many different species.” An increasingly present future. A few years ago, Manuel F. HerradorProfessor of the UDC Civil Engineering School, he said that in the future, they will be horrified how much of our way of building was summed up in two words: brute force. Something like this will happen when technology historians look at how we cultivate during the 20th century. Now, little by little, we are recovering (and creating) other ways to intervene in the nature much more intelligent, powerful and effective. Font caudete is just the beginning.

The good news is that the storms will finally give us truce this week. The bad is that time will remain unstable

by

The last weeks have been marked by instability: rains (we have seen One of the most wet that remember the records), cold and storms several have been protagonists in this spring. Now, after the holiday period, experts foresee a change in the atmospheric trend. Changes, in theory. This week will be A week of changes at the atmospheric level with respect to the dominant trend during Holy Week. Of course, at ground level these changes will be noticed rather: instability and rains will continue to accompany the day -to -day life of many Spaniards, although in some areas the increase in temperatures can take the thermometers towards the 30º towards the end of the week. No storms in sight. Meteorological forecasts for the next few days foresee a change in the atmospheric pattern: the storms disappear for the peninsular geography, opening the way to the major influence of anticyclones such as the Azores. According to the forecast of the State Meteorology Agency (Aemet), this will be reflected in an increase in maximum temperatures in the southeast peninsular interior, as well as in mountainous areas of the north. However, this is only part of the story. A tape tall It will become the protagonist In these first days of the week, accompanied by a front that will bring new rains to a good part of the Peninsula. In practice. The Aemet forecastwhich throughout the day will extend to much of the northwest peninsular half, being able to reach areas of the southeast. The forecast also speaks of possible snowfall in mountains of the north end. On Tuesday, instability will increase, with “showers and storms that can be locally strong in areas of the northeast peninsular near the Mediterranean.” If Monday temperatures are experiencing a slight rise, the situation will be reversed tomorrow in some areas, with a notable decrease in the maxims in the Ebro, the east of the Northern Plateau and the Eastern Cantabrian, according to the agency’s forecasts. A more palpable change. As of Wednesday, the change in the atmospheric state could materialize in a change over time. The models foresee that this day the influence of the Azores anticyclone will stabilize the meteorology of the peninsula. The heavens, yes, will remain overcast in the north, with rainfall “weak although persistent”In the area. The showers are not ruled out in the rest of the peninsular territory either. Round of the rains? The situation is expected on Thursday but Friday could see the arrival of A new trough and, with it, the return of rainfall of greater consideration. If the forecasts are fulfilled, this phenomenon will move west throughout Friday and Saturday, leaving rains and even storms.

Holy Week has become a huge marketing campaign. Now you have even board games

by

The Easter week It is not only a meeting point for Catholics throughout Spain, which They share a faith and customs indicated in cities such as Seville, Malaga or Zamora. It is also a key moment for the country’s economy: promoted by institutions, backed by tourism and in constant evolution in search of new commercial forms, Holy Week also moves millions. And commerce, services and, now, internet, know it well. Economic engine It is absolutely indisputable that Holy Week is an economic engine for different cities in Spain, which receive income in sectors as diverse as tourism and hospitality (with Figures in Seville that are around 95% occupation and influx of two million people), trade, crafts and, of course, the expenses derived from processions, such as rental rents. In Seville there is talk of 415 million euros In income these dates, in Malaga 393 million And in León, 5 million. Complex relationship. There are, of course, tensions between those who defend recollection and religious feelings as keys to living Holy Week and those who see it as a unique possibility of economic impulse. But this conflict is not new: Already in 1972 A critic to the situation denounced that “there is a tourist map, a commercial gear that lacks any point of contact with faith”, so it can be said that we are facing a clash that comes from afar. But now it is taking new forms. New ways to explain Holy Week. The arrival of new forms, beyond the traditional ones, to commercially exploit the holidays is also the result of a change in the perception of Holy Week. Few have known how to read that change in tradition as the Channel 101TV from Seville, which of course is broadcasting live multiple processions, but that has found a particular dialectic with The ‘A Cielo’ program. It is a kind of chiringuito of jugones in the brotherhood where a group of experts in images, brotherhoods and traditions analyze with a light tone but very felt the Holy Week … throughout the year and with the viral apollo of the social networks. Boarding Board Games. Among these new ways of getting commercial performance of Holy Week highlights the new industry of board games. They are very simple games, often with an innocent point, but in other aspects they have some complexity and even adapt mechanics of non -religious games. Artes Cañete is the brand that is responsible for the simplest and most handmade, such as the Oca brotherhe Party Game Cofrade meetingthe card game inspired by the rhythms and codes of the steps There it was And my particular favorite, the Who is who cofradewith editions for seven Andalusian cities and where you have to identify a wide variety of images of steps. One step further. But of course, Holy Week gives for a lot of fun, and we have recently seen games of a certain complexity: The Holy Meeting It is a game of charges of collecting and stealing steps. Certain similarities have Processions and Cofrade Citywhere strategy and resource management are involved in a struggle to be the most noticeable brotherhood. And finally, there is the elegant GO CERC a skill game with die -cut steps and in which you have to go collecting promises with a throne miniature. Products for all. It is debatable if Holy Week and its relationship with industry and tourism has not been, for decades, a commercial product. But it is clear that the last times, new technologies and the Internet have taken a special turn. Only then have they been able to be born Escape Rooms Holy Week theme, Immersive experiences 360 or 3D printing businesses Brotherhood products. The market continues to evolve so that the passion does not vain.

how the LGBTI community of Seville lives the passion of Holy Week from within

by

In 2019 a video was viralized which showed a group of young people by teaching the Virgen de los Dolores in a procession of the Holy Week of Seville. The delivered of the compliments (“Queen of Holy Tuesday!”, “The whole neighborhood for you!”) And the tone with which they were thrown unleashed all kinds of comments, many of them openly homophobic and, above all, Plumophobes. In any case, they did not surprise those who are used to Holy Week in the Andalusian capital and their intimate relationship between the Catholic fervor and the very personal LGTBI militancy of many of the devotees of the images. To scream, young. Actually, the phenomenon of the “chillaores”, as these young people are known, has nothing again, as they believe some guardians of the essences of Holy Week (although it is true that it is now when the Church has been in favor of “Cut Hysterisms”). For example, in 1916, Eugenio Noel already I documented phrases As “this virgin goes through the crotch to all the virgins of Seville” shouted to the passage of hope Macarena. Humble neighborhoods. These cheers had a lot of social vindication in their day, since both the Triana and Macarena neighborhood were popular areas that adorned their virgins as a challenge to the aristocracy of the central processions. There the screams with a corrosive point made sense, intolerable for central (and ecclesiastical) power. Today Seville is a very different citybut customs bloom again: Noel talked about how at Madrugá “the cathedral does not close, the taverns either, and the life of the brothels is more active than ever.” Holy Week is a performative activity, whether it opts for dawn and extreme sobriety. “Dolores beautiful!” This was what Jesus Pascual realized when he saw the viral video. He began to investigate the strong LGTBI component of Holy Week in Seville and embodied it in a documentary entitled as the cry that the launched by the Chillaores of the video, and that can be seen in Filmin and Prime video. The result is an amalgam of influences that make clear the popular nature of Holy Week in Seville and how symbols can be reinterpreted without losing anything of its original meaning. At the same time paradoxically corrosive and traditional, ‘Dolores beautiful!’ He is revealing especially when the self -denominated “shellfish shelves” speak of the tradition of the steps and the bearers as a land paid for gay feeling. Two ways to see it. In Dolores beautiful! It is said that “there are two religions: that of Rome and that of Seville.” It refers to Catholicism and the multiple ways of understanding its iconography, where the Virgin Mary, pure femininity and maternal symbol, is both symbol pio and diva to dress like a folkloric (another eminently Andalusian environment that The gays have made their owndespite the traditionally homophobic opposition of the most immobilistic church and Spain). Rodríguez Ojeda, referent. In the documentary it is mentioned, as an essential reference, to the embroidery Juan Manuel Rodríguez Ojedarecognized homosexual that revolutionized Holy Week at the end of the 19th century. Among his essential works are The mantle of the Virgen de la Macarena (which was revolutionary in his day, to distance himself from the most sober mantles seen so far) or the costumes of the Roman century, which decorated With feathers and leotards. This color and precious made a lot to inject from an unheard of sensitivity queer to the Holy Week of Seville. In fact, with him a prototype gay participation was established in artistic work, jewelers to virgin dressing rooms. Your double morals, thanks. Although this homosexual presence is open and recognized, in many cases declared, there is still some tension: integration is there, but the signal also: the Church demands “moral” behaviors to homosexuals and divorced. The cries to the Virgin are thus a form of claiming a reality that, due to the presence of the Church, cannot be official: once again, as happened before in cinema and in music, Sensitivity Camp serves as a statement of intentions (and as the construction of an alternative family environment in the face of your own rejection). New times for the Baroque. In recent times, new artists and movements that claim this reality have emerged. Carlos Carvento Merge Sevillan mantillas with attitudes of Drag Queen; groups like PALIO PROJECT they fight for trans visibility in the brotherhoods; And finally, scandals like the Holy Week poster of 2024 From Salustiano García, who questioned the iconography of Christ, they open debates that help to make visible a struggle of aesthetics and wills that have been bubbling into the brotherhoods.

We knew that Holy Week was going to be complicated. What we didn’t know is that a polar dough was going to complicate it even more

by

That Holy Week was going to be complicated, we already knew it. What we did not suspect is that, taking advantage of the absence of high pressures, they were going to strain on the whole peninsula A series of polar masses That not only They are going to erase all trace from Borrasca Olivierbut the country’s temperatures will collapse. What comes from Greenland. As Victor Gonzalez explainedin the next few hours “a very cold air tongue in medium-high layers will take off from the immediate vicinity of Greenland” and “will cause a sharp change of time.” It is logical, the storm that now affected us (Olivier) came from the Canary Islands with a southern air upstage that contributed to soften temperatures. Polar mass It will move The storm (which will still leave showers and storms) and will knock the thermometers. So what can we expect from Holy Week? Aemet He has just published An update about the time of the week that begins. Monday 14: The models expect rainfall (locally strong and occasionally with a storm) in Galicia that “will be extended by the rest of the Atlantic aspect weak or moderate.” In the Mediterranean, we are likely to meet intense stormy showers and wind gusts. In addition, temperatures will fall throughout the country (except in the Cantabrian, where they will rise). Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16: The rains of the Atlantic facade was a front that preceded the entrance of a polar mass that will collapse temperatures. The snow level, in fact, will remain between 900 and 1,200 in much of the northwest. Generalized rain is expected in much of the country. Thursday 17 and Saturday 19: PAt the end of the week, the situation will tend to stabilize. However, everything seems to indicate that a new storm in Galicia will begin to enter and gradually will spread through the northwestern third of the Peninsula. Sunday 20 and Monday 21: Although the uncertainty is high, it is “probable that rainfall continues throughout the northern part of the Peninsula, in the Balearic Islands and in part of the east. It is not ruled out that some of these showers can be very intense. There are no changes on the horizon? The truth is not. Atmospheric circulation does not show great changes and that not only guarantees us a few unusually fresh days, but also makes front and storms continue. It doesn’t hurt to remember that The monthly forecast of the ECMWF is bet “For an extremely rainy April in the southwest quadrant and peninsular downtown area, with wet anomalies of up to 50 l/m2 compared to the average in Western Andalusia, Sierra de Gredos and locally in the community of Madrid.” That is, although It is not clear what will happenwe better get used to the rains. Spring continues to delay. Image | ANDCMWF In Xataka | Time at Holy Week 2025: The best websites and apps to know what time you will have on your vacation

The rain is back and the models say it will not leave until after Holy Week

by

The Nuria Borrasca is going to continue sending one front behind another until Friday, but we will only have one day of respite. Sunday It is already expected Another storm that will leave more water in Galicia, Extremadura and Andalucía. That is, after a truce too short, the “Atlantic doors” have opened again and now the question is whether they will continue to open a long time or if (sooner rather than later) the tentacles of the summer will begin to drag us to stability, heat and clear skies. Right now there is only one more or less clear thing: there are many possibilities for the rains to accompany us until after Holy Week. Nuria: rain and a lot of wind. Before entering into the subject and seeing what the models say about the coming weeks, you have to be attentive to Nuria. In essence, this high impact storm has a structure very similar to those we have seen during the last month. From Hehco, it is fifth with a name that follows more or less the same route. That means water, a lot of water. More than 80 liters in areas of the southwest. Most likely Madrid takes the palm. The great defernecia of this storm is The wind. It has already caused red alerts in the Canary Islands and winds of more than 130 kilometers per hour are expected. On Friday the intense winds will be noticed in the peninsula (although, luckily, they will not reach the speeds of the palm). ECMWF The week of 7 to 14. The European model, as we can see in the superior image, shows a more humid trend than normal in the southern half of the peninsula. That is what green shadow means. White tells us about values ​​within the nomality and orange of a slightly more dry situation than normal. It is not uncommon: the configuration of the last weeks favors the southwest and moves away Als Borrasca from the Cantabrian cornice. ECMWF Easter week. But that is only the appetizer: the European model foresees a Holy Week wetter than normal throughout the national territory. Does this mean that it will rain throughout the week? Actually, no. So many days are missing that we cannot make reliable predictions. The European model does is draw a general trend. There is no way of knowing what will happen specifically. For example, the following week the dominant trend is the one that tells us about normality in most of Spain (with the exceptions of the archipelagos, Galicia and the Cantabrian cornice). But, of course, there is still a lot of cloth to cut. What can we expect? In the short term, intense rain and hurricane winds. Once Nuria passes, the situation is very open. The possibility that the storm hall remains open is on the table and is winning whole every day. However, we talk about deadlines too broad for our prediction systems to be reliable. At least, rain is not going to miss us. Image | In Xataka |

Spacex will launch next week the first polar space flight in history. Your client: A Bitcoin tycoon

by

Incredible things happen by mixing large heritage with the spacex’s launching ability. The First private extravehicular activity either The manned flight to the highest altitude from the Apolo program They were two great milestones of the Polaris Dawn mission. But the new Fram2 mission will achieve something that had never been done, not even by space agencies. Fram2 will be the First spatial flight manned in polar orbit. The first time a ship will take its occupants to fly over the polar caps. Commanded by Chun Wang, a Chinese-Maltés entrepreneur who made fortune with Bitcoin mining, the four crew will be the first humans who observe first-hand the north pole and the southern pole of the earth from space. The never seen To date, there has never been a space flight with astronauts in polar orbit. The highest inclination reached by a manned mission was 65 degrees and the Soviets achieved in 1963 with the Vostok 6. Spacex mission aspires to achieve a pure polar orbit of 90 degrees. To access a polar orbit, the ship must be launched north or south, passing on inhabited land regions. The fuel spending is greater and, in case of emergency during takeoff or re -entry, it will be more complicated to guarantee a safe landing and the rescue of the crew. The launch of the mission, aboard the Crew Dragon ‘Resilience’ ship of Spacex, is scheduled for Monday, March 31 at 23:30, local time of the 39A launch platform of the Kennedy Space Center, in Florida. Spacex will have to land the propeller of the Falcon 9 rocket in Bahamas For this mission. Who travels Fram2 mission crew The person behind the mission is Chun Wang, the co -founder tycoon of F2POOL, one of the largest Bitcoin mining companies that exist. Stake Fish has also founded, an Ethereum stake platform. They are very profitable businesses, taking into account that a flight on board Crew Dragon of Spacex costs about 200 million dollars. Wang was born in China. Acquired the nationality of Malta in 2023 With a gold passport. Vive Svalbard (Norway), but flies almost daily with the aim of visiting the 249 recognized countries and territories of the world. Next to him will fly a Norwegian cinematographer, a German scientist and an Australian doctor: Jannicke Mikkelsen: He will be responsible for documenting the mission. With experience in filming under extreme conditions, it has registered polar flights and other projects in remote locations. Rabea Rogge: Mission pilot, focused on polar robotics research for your doctorate in Norway. He has directed satellite missions and works with advanced technologies in the Arctic. Eric Philips: Doctor and specialist in the mission, contributing years of expeditions to both poles and the prestige of their participation in polar guidelines. The crew has received An intense eight -month training which included microgravity simulations, rescue techniques, first aid and coexistence tests in small spaces, including an experience in the Alaska desert to ensure its adaptation to extreme conditions.
