This team hit another milestone as we continue to execute on multiple missions to the Moon! With the Critical Design Review now complete for Blue Ghost Mission 3, we're one step closer to our trip to the Moon's Gruithuisen Domes. More on the mission here: fireflyspace.com/missions/blue-…

"A short time ago, at a NASA center not so far away..."    This week, John Knoll, Chief Creative Officer for Industrial Light & Magic -- and the Mandalorian and Grogu themselves -- visited Johnson Space Center. They learned about our work in human spaceflight, including through the International Space Station and Artemis, inspiring and benefitting humans in our own galaxy.

Nine years ago today, we launched Electron for the first time. Later this year, Electron is expected to reach 100 launches, likely making it the fastest privately developed orbital rocket to hit that milestone. From “It’s a test” to one of the world’s highest cadence launch vehicles in under a decade. Here's a little walk down memory lane from that first historic launch.

Cystitis: inflammation of the bladder wall. Affects 50-60% of women at least once. E. coli is the cause in ~80% of cases. This animation shows what happens to the bladder lining during infection: swelling, vascular dilation, and tissue irritation. 20-30% of women develop recurrent episodes. #Cystitis All animations created using the SciePro 3D anatomy model.

LIFTOFF! Electron is on its way to space once again for @Synspective🚀

@LeadingReport Who gives them the right?

CIA is reportedly obstructing the disclosure of UAPs, UFOs, and potential alien life, per Ross Coulthart.

POV: You’re coming home after a journey around the Moon. 🌕 Before reentering Earth’s atmosphere at the end of Artemis II, the Orion spacecraft’s crew module — carrying the astronauts — separated from the service module that provided propulsion and power throughout the mission.

Turning sunlight into survival - the role Rocket Lab solar cells play in the Artemis missions.

We're partnering with @anduriltech to deliver commercial speed and innovation to hypersonics tech development for the @deptofwar. With Anduril tech on multiple HASTE launches, we're working together to deliver Mach 5 capabilities and beyond for future defense missions. First mission launching within 12 months.

You don’t have to go to space to help humans thrive there. NASA citizen science volunteers support research on astronaut health, space weather, and even growing food for future missions. No experience needed, just curiosity. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4sYSuG8

Nine years ago, we set out with a bold vision and a team fueled with enough passion to make it real. Today, that same passion continues to propel us forward. Every milestone we’ve reached is a reflection of the people behind it. Our Fireflies show up every day ready to push boundaries and redefine what’s possible. As we celebrate another year, we’re proud of how far we’ve come, but even more excited about where we’re going next.

NEW PHOTOS: Higher-quality surveillance footage obtained by The Washington Post shows Cole Allen appearing to hold a gun as he sprints through a security checkpoint at the WHCA Dinner. An agent is seen firing as Allen attempts to gain access to the ballroom where President Trump, VP JD Vance, and high-profile Cabinet members were seated. Agents can be seen breaking down one of two magnetometers as the suspect bolts toward them. One agent draws his weapon and fires at the suspect. The photos show four muzzle flashes from those shots. It’s the clearest look yet at how quickly the situation unfolded, as Allen is set to appear in federal court Thursday for a detention hearing.

Congratulations to our one and only Ms.@Rocketheels ! We're ecstatic to promote Trina Patterson to Chief Marketing Officer after more than 3 years as our Vice President of Marketing and Communications. As a 25-year industry veteran, Trina’s experience has been instrumental in amplifying Firefly's most defining moments—from 24-hour rocket campaigns to our historic landing on the Moon and a record-breaking IPO. Trina's passion for her fellow Fireflies, strategic vision, and unwavering dedication have helped tell our story to the world. Thank you for your leadership as we continue to Light the Way to a bold future!

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 US to begin declassifying UFO and potential alien life records.

BREAKING: Pentagon is expected to begin declassifying all records related to UFOs and extraterrestrial life via the domain aliens(dot)gov, at the direction of President Trump.

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

NEW: Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch shares the funny moments she's experienced back on Earth having to get used to living with gravity again: "Every time I've been waking up, or in the first few days, I thought I was floating, I truly thought I was floating." "I put a shirt in the air and it went. *THUD* It actually surprised me."

@FoxNews She needs to adapt the gravity again

Speed over bureaucracy. "The thing that has impressed me is the teaming between the Royal Australian Navy and Anduril in defining what the minimum viable product for Ghost Shark actually was, which allowed them to achieve that speed of relevance." - Dan Packer, AUKUS director at Commander, Submarine Force Atlantic in @NationalDefense.
