Steenrod operations in etale cohomology?

Your first map fits in an action of the Steenrod algebra. In fact $H^*_{ét}(X;\mathbb{F}_2)$ is the homology of $C^*_{ét}(X;\mathbb{F}_2)=R\Gamma(X;\mathbb{F}_2)$, an element of the derived category …

Why is $\pi_{-*}F(H\mathbb{F}_p, H\mathbb{F}_p)$ the mod $p$ Steenrod algebra?

Recall that by representability of cohomology plus the Yoneda lemma, a cohomology operation $H^i→H^j$ is the same thing as a map $$ K(\mathbb{F}_p,i)→K(\mathbb{F}_p,j)\,.$$ Moreover, the suspension is …
