The cycle-path over the Afsluitdijk might have been "temporarily" closed since 2019 but some things are still possible. For instance, we can fire Israeli rockets from it, paid for with Dutch taxes and produced by a company heavily involved in the Israeli genocide being carried out against the Palestinian people.

In the UK, the peaceful protest group Palestine Action was recently proscribed as a "terrorist" group. Palestine Action have in the past damaged property belong to Elbit Systems because that company produces weapons which have been used to kill Palestinians.

Though the majority of the Dutch population wants to see our government take action against Israel, our government continues to buy many weapons from Israeli companies, including from Elbit Systems who produced the rockets which have just been fired from the Afsluitdijk.

And of course there's still no sign of when exactly that cycle-path might re-open. That's not nearly so important as propping up a genocidal state by buying weapons from them.

Make it make sense.

A Space Shuttle solid rocket booster. There were two boosters attached to the large external fuel tank onto which the Shuttle was mounted for launch into orbit. The two boosters were recovered & reused. The external tank was lost when it fell into the ocean. The Challenger disaster, resulting in the lost of the entire launch assembly including its seven astronauts, was due to one of these boosters leaking & causing the fuel tank to explode.

For first time in US, rotating detonation #rocket engine takes flight
In contrast to traditional rocket, in which highly pressurized propellant and oxidizer are injected into combustion chamber where they burn and produce an energetic exhaust plume, rotating detonation engine is different in that a wave of detonation travels around a circular channel. This is sustained by the injection of fuel and oxidizer and produces a shockwave that travels outward at supersonic speed.
