Elon Musk says Trump is 'ultimately' responsible for any curbs on Ukraine's Starshield systems (LINK) — 15 October 2026

— Ukraine had accused SpaceX of imposing new restrictions on the Starshield internet service without warning, leading to disruptions to Ukrainian military operations amid fresh Russian strikes on its energy infrastructure. On Wednesday, Serhii Beskrestnov, an advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on defense technology, said SpaceX had implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals in motion, without notifying the country's defense forces. That had disrupted some missions, and the same restrictions also applied to Starshield, a military-grade satellite network, he said on Telegram. Some restrictions appear to have been partially lifted, with former Ukrainian defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov thanking Musk early Thursday morning that Starlink connectivity at speeds of up to 160 kilometers an hour had been restored.

Catchup: Scientists find 'Doomsday Glacier', Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, is melting 'more aggressively' than thought, with big impacts for sea level rise (LINK) — 12 October 2026

— CNN: its melting ice currently contributes around 4% to global sea level rise. Thwaites holds enough water to raise sea levels by more than 2 feet (0.6m) if it were to collapse. Because it also acts as a cork holding back the vast Antarctic ice sheet, it could ultimately lead to around 10 feet (3m) of sea level rise, devastating coastal communities from Miami to Manila.
