China’s military is pushing the limits of biomimicry with fully weaponized bird drones that mimic the look and movement of real birds. These advanced devices are capable of silent flight with flapping wings, making them nearly undetectable to radar or visual observation. Reports suggest these drones can conduct surveillance missions and potentially execute targeted strikes, all while disguised as innocent birds in flight. They're part of China’s larger “Dove” program—an AI-driven effort to revolutionize stealth technology through nature-inspired engineering. From tracking enemy movements to deploying micro-munitions, these robotic birds may reshape future warfare in ways once confined to science fiction. #DroneWarfare #MilitaryTech #ChinaInnovation #SpyDrones #FutureOfWarfare #BiomimicryTech

The FY 2026 U.S. federal budget proposal includes steep cuts to NASA’s science programs—nearly 50% compared to previous levels. This could lead to the cancellation of several current and planned missions and reduce NASA’s science workforce by about one-third. The Planetary Society warns this may trigger a “dark age” for U.S. space science and urges public advocacy to reverse the cuts. The episode also touches on China’s Tianwen-2 asteroid mission as a contrast to NASA’s uncertain future
