Punk-rap duo Bob Vylan faced significant backlash after frontman Bobby Vylan made controversial remarks referencing the assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk during a concert at Amsterdam’s Paradiso Grote Zaal on Saturday, Sept. 13. Kirk was fatally shot on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University, an incident authorities have described as a targeted political assassination.

During the performance, Bobby Vylan dedicated the song “CSGB” (an acronym for “chat shit, get banged”) to Kirk, saying: “I want to dedicate this next one to an absolute piece of shit of a human being. The pronouns was/were. ‘Cos if you chat shit, you will get banged. Rest in piss, Charlie Kirk, you piece of shit.”

The comment sparked outrage with many condemning his insensitive remarks. The backlash led to the cancellation of the band’s upcoming concert at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Netherlands, scheduled for September 16. The venue stated that while it understood the context of punk and activism, the comments “go too far” and “no longer fall within the scope of what we can offer as a platform.”

In response, Bobby Vylan released a video on social media on Sunday, Sept. 14, incredibly denying that he celebrated Kirk’s death. He stated: “At no point during yesterday’s show, was Charlie Kirk’s death celebrated. At no point whatsoever. Did we celebrate Charlie Kirk’s death? I did call him a piece of shit, that much is true but at no point was his death celebrated.”

Bob Vylan challenged critics to find any quote proving celebration, asserting that a reporter had attended the show specifically to find controversial material to report. He concluded by urging the public to “calm down,” claiming the narrative had been misrepresented.

Within minutes replies to Bobby Vylan's post on X, were flooded with video clips of him actually celebrating Kirk's assasination during his perfromance. Social media users mocked the punk-rap artist for blatantly lying about what he did. X's fact-checking Community Note also debunked his denial.

The punk rap duo have a history of far-left politically charged performances. The band had their US visas revoked over their rhetoric on the Israel-Palestine conflict. They have consistently defended their rhetoric as opposition to state violence and oppressive systems, not calls for violence against individuals or ethnic groups. However critics pointed out that Vylan targeted an individual, Kirk whose mission was to foster debates between people who diagree on cultural and political issues.

SpaceX Falcon 9 launched Northrop Grumman's new Cygnus XL cargo spacecraft on its debut mission NG-23, to the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday, Sept. 14, at 2211 UTC from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station's Space Launch Complex 40.

The Falcon 9 rocket's first-stage booster B1094 which is on its fourth flight, successfully returned to Landing Zone 2 at Cape Canaveral about eight minutes after liftoff as planned. Meanwhile Cygnus XL separated from the Falcon 9 second stage in orbit about 15 minutes after liftoff, on its way to the space station.

"@NorthropGrumman's Cygnus XL cargo craft deployed its cymbal-shaped UltraFlex solar arrays about an hour-and-a-half after launch today powering the spacecraft during its flight to the station," NASA ISS page wrote on X.

The NG-23 mission marks the first flight of the Cygnus XL, a significantly larger and more capable freighter capable of carrying 4,990 kilograms(kg) of cargo, a 33% increase over previous models. The previous iteration hauled about 3,855 kg pounds of cargo to the ISS.

The spacecraft, named S.S. William "Willie" McCool in honor of the Columbia STS-107 pilot, will be captured by the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm and berthed to the Unity module on Wednesday, September 17, 2025 at about 1035 UTC.

NG-23 is Northrop Grumman's 23rd resupply mission to the ISS under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services-2 contract. The Cygnus XL's increased capacity allows for more science and cargo delivery, including materials for semiconductor and pharmaceutical crystal production, equipment for cryogenic fuel tank improvements, and a specialized UV light system to combat microbial growth in the station's water systems.

Among the supplies packed aboard the freighter are "materials to produce semiconductor crystals in space and equipment to develop improvements for cryogenic fuel tanks," NASA officials wrote in a statement. "The spacecraft also will deliver a specialized UV light system to prevent the growth of microbe communities that form in water systems and supplies to produce pharmaceutical crystals that could treat cancer and other diseases."

The spacecraft will remain docked to the ISS until at least March 2026, after which it will be filled with waste and deorbited to burn up in Earth's atmosphere. Unlike SpaceX's reusable Dragon capsule, Cygnus is a disposable spacecraft.

The Cygnus XL's larger size necessitates temporary unberthing from the ISS during the approach of a crewed Russian Soyuz spacecraft in November 2025 for safety reasons.

NG-23 is the first Cygnus launch since August 2024, when NG-21 took flight. NG-22 was supposed to follow in January of this year but was delayed to June due to avionics issues. Then, in late March, NASA announced that NG-22 had been called off, as a result of damage the Cygnus incurred during transport to the launch site.
