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. hashtag#space hashtag#asteroidmining hashtag#spacetechnology hashtag#spacex hashtag#venture

We're honored to receive the historic Robert J. Collier Trophy from the @NatlAero for Blue Ghost Mission 1! Our team not only completed a successful Moon landing and operations—we inspired the next generation of space innovators and ignited a renewed interest in the Moon across the globe. Standing on the shoulders of giants, we've proven that commercial space can achieve what was once only accomplished by nation-states. naa.aero/firefly-aerosp…
