The secret plan is out! Two great articles today about our plan to capture a small asteroid and bring it into Earth orbit. The concept is part of our New Moon mission, which explores relocating a small near-Earth asteroid into a controlled orbit as the first step toward building industrial infrastructure in space.
Our team has been developing the key technologies for this approach for years, including capture mechanisms to constrain and move small asteroids and orbital debris. Accessing materials already in space could eventually enable a new generation of industries beyond Earth.
If you're interested in the future of space resources, these articles are worth a read.

@EdKrassen That's my Trump! Still not my President, however.
P.S. Glad I'm entirely on Mass Transit, no SUV in garage--just cool tools and old junk being repurposed to cool new junk...

BREAKING: Middle East tensions are spiraling. Israel has struck Iran’s South Pars gas field, which is the world’s largest natural gas field. Oil just jumped to $108/barrel!
Israel just warned that it will destroy all bridges on Lebanon’s Litani River. This is a major escalation.
Meanwhile Iranian media says retaliation is coming after strikes on energy infrastructure.
Now Iran is reportedly labeling Gulf energy sites as “legitimate targets” and issuing evacuation warnings across the region.
This is exactly the kind of dangerous chain reaction critics warned about and it’s unfolding after Trump’s aggressive moves in the region. Expect oil prices to shoot up even more.
The risk of a wider war just surged.

Let’s get to the heart of it. 🧡
This new image from Hubble and @NASAWebb takes a closer look at the core of Messier 101, also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy.
At 25 million light-years away, M101 is one of the closest “face-on” spiral galaxies to us: go.nasa.gov/4lydce2

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam targeting working people who don’t have the time or money to get a passport or stand in a DMV-style line to chase down their documents.
Make your voice heard. Tell your senators: stop the SAVE America Act! act.aflcio.org/call_campaigns…

A successful deep-space manoeuvre has put ESA’s Hera spacecraft on course for arrival at the Didymos binary asteroid system later this year!
At Didymos, Hera will help turn asteroid deflection into a reliable technique for protecting Earth 🛡️🌍

Europe’s access to space also begins at sea.
🚢 Canopée transports Ariane 6 components from mainland Europe to the European spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
🌍 Equipped with four Oceanwings sails, this hybrid wind-powered cargo ship reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions compared with traditional transport used during the Ariane 5 era.
🇪🇺 ArianeGroup attended an event in the @Europarl_EN to present Canopée and its vital role for an independent European access to space. We would like to thank Apostolos Tzitzikostas, European Commissioner for Sustainable Transport, and Catherine Chabaud, French Minister Delegate for the Sea, for their interest.
