Run dnf with -C / --cacheonly unless you need package metadata that is fresher than your coffee. Much speedier. The fastestmirror setting may help, but unfortunately is based on ping time rather than download time, so results there will vary. A new version of DNF is in beta, to be available in Fedora 38, and be the default in Fedora 39, IIRC.

The screenshot shows air pressure, expressed as altitude and pressure. 685mb is mildly thin air for humans, but the top of Everest is about 250mb. Earth sea level is 1000mb, and the surface of Mars would be about 6mb. BYO oxygen and pressure.
Scott is the builder, and Nate, his son, the videographer and editor. The subject matter is clearly and honestly explained, and the video, sound, and editing is generally professional quality. From survey and site prep all the through to finish and completion, I would recommend it to anyone in the US considering a bespoke or custom home.

Reports suggest that the vehicle tumbled down the steep cliff rather than free-falling. Occupants are very lucky that the incident was witnessed, reported, and responded to quickly, and that rescuers used binoculars to observe movement in the wrecked vehicle and quickly shift from recovery mode to rescue mode.

No matter how many new, different, or even radical antibiotics we develop, unless we get ahead of over-prescribing and under-treating (not taking all of a prescribed treatment course) we will continue to rapidly evolve more successful micro-organisms, to our own detriment.
Basic safety rules include: cave with groups of 3 to 6 people, some of whom have experience, bring 3 independent sources of light, use helmets and headlamps, avoid hand-held lights (a strong sign of inexperience or incompetence), leave word of your plans - where you are going, expected return time, who to call for help - with a trustworthy friend. Some basic knowledge of geology is useful, as is comfort with physical contortion, sturdy clothing, and an ability to orient and visualize in 3-dimensions in environments that are far from rectilinear.
Respect the culture of secrecy about cave locations, which helps protect them from damage. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.

Avoiding splash-over or collateral damage to other sats in or near the line-of-sight would be an issue, especially if any of those other sats might have capabilities that their nation/owner might want to keep secret. Perhaps an arrangement of vetos over particular ablation shots would suffice. Countries wanting to hide their interests in some sats could veto N times as many shots as needed, making uncovering which sats are special more difficult.
In any case, laser ablation would need much less delta-V than the usual imagery of plucky space-cowboys chasing errant sats with a net, or some such. Who knew that _Planetes_ would have such a strong effect on our collective imagination.
Am pleased to see that effective hacking has a long history:
