It's hard to even imagine how it got turned sideways in there like that. I'd say it took some fancy piloting of that ship. It barely fits in there.
SPACE SURVEILLANCE AND TRACKING Satellite tracking, done right. Enabling transparent and safe use of geostationary orbital slots. The ODIN sensor network provides high accuracy ephemerides to support satellite operations and space situational awareness. ORBIT DETERMINATION INTERFEROMETER A novel tracking sensor architecture. We have designed and operate the first passive RF sensor networkÂ
Somewhere around '08 and another time afterwards I gave them my opinion. As one might guess, for some I was not a person they wanted to see in open discussions on their facts after that because my fact checking ability was established within that room full of scientists. I was just repeating things they agreed upon also so naturally I was a scapegoat to one side and a stellar scientist on the other. During Democratic admins. During the latest R admin it was neutral and more fair. Some of the rules I have whined about before like the navigable waters BS rules.

Saudi Aramco to prioritise energy supply to China for 50 years, says CEO
Saudi Aramco will ensure China’s energy security remains its highest priority for the next 50 years and beyond as new and existing energy sources run in parallel for some time, CEO Amin Nasser told the China Development Forum on Sunday.
China' carbon footprint grew because of our Commie leftist nitwits. I raised my hand and took a mic to tell the EPA at a big meeting that all they were doing is setting China up at the expense of the rest of us so THEY CAN POLLUTE worse than we ever did. Crickets from the leadership. The crowd of scientists from all over were on my side. Well, naturally you had a few data whore types shilling in the mix but mostly the science is considered not settled by the scientists working with and thru the EPA. Only EPA greenies are doing that complaining we won't make the cuts in time. China is laughing all the way to the bank.

Maybe someone can post for me, as I'm busy ATM.

Suez canal. Suez means "the begining."
Options are therefore limited. Because the boat is wider than the canal itself, it has to come out the exact way it went in. Except that both ends are out of the water, meaning it has no steering.
Virtually every tugboat in Egypt has been sent to try and pull or push her off the wall of the canal, while workers are trying to dig out the canal walls and refloat her, bringing her steering back online.
Efforts have been underway for almost a day, but have so far proved fruitless. The task resumed on Wednesday morning, with no estimate as to how long it will take.
If tugboats and diggers aren't enough to free the vessel, then they only other option is to starting removing weight - either by dumping fuel or unloading cargo, piece by piece.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4, Dr Mercogliano, who is based in North Carolina, warned that the vessel is in 'a very precarious position'.
'With both ends of the vessel up on the beach there's a tendency for her to sag in the middle, so they have to be very careful in trying to get her off [the wall],' he said.
'If they can't get her up off that position with the tugs they're going to have to start getting fuel out of her, and then containers.
'But the difficulty with getting containers off her is that she's so high, so tall, that it will be very difficult to get the correct size crane in there.'
