I post things I find interesting.

Day 6 at sea: There are not many icebergs around Bouvet Island compared with the deeper Antarctic waters, so we were fortunate to spot one this morning. Last night we were positioned 280 km north of the island. Because of the wind and waves, we have since made our way to the eastern side and plan to approach from there. According to the weather forecast, we may encounter waves of up to 7 meters tonight. Right in the middle of the “Furious Fifties”, living on board does not feel any worse than it did on the first day. As of 2026-02-27T00:00Z, our ship is located 70 km east of Bouvet Island, at 54°06′S, 4°23′E, moving slowly at less than 5 kt toward our destination. If all goes well, we should be able to see Bouvet Island from the ship early tomorrow morning.




$VELO (~$220 mkt cap) just secured a $11.5M multi-year production contract from a major U.S. defense contractor for critical national security components. A small-cap like this supplying high-performance 3D-printed parts to top defense programs, amid U.S. pushes for domestic manufacturing and secure supply chains stands out to me Some key bits: - $11.5M multi-year deal (Feb 2026) using Rapid Production Solution (RPS) for faster, cheaper complex parts vs traditional methods - Qualified as first additive manufacturing vendor for U.S. Army ground vehicles (GVSC program) - Backlog at $21.1M (as of Sep 2025, up from $15.9M end-Q2); full-year 2025 revenue guidance $50-60M (~30% growth) - Strong customer relationships: SpaceX operates ~25 machines for rocket engine parts (e.g., Raptor components), with expansion talks; Anduril as an active customer collaborating on programs/contracts - Shift to services/recurring production targeting higher margins (gross >30% in Q4 2025) - Positive analyst coverage, targets ~$18-25 implying upside - Defense/space sectors demand advanced tech for parts traditional manufacturing struggles with. Velo3D fits well. Of course the risks: - Cash low at ~$12M end-Q3 2025, leading to $30M funding round in Dec to extend runway - Ongoing losses and low margins in recent quarters from operational challenges - Stock is very volatile. Dipped sharply on the contract news despite the win All in all, contract wins and customer ties are real, path to profitability in early 2026 is likely, and sector demand strong. High reward if execution hits, but funding/execution risks real. This is in the early research stage for me. These are all the bits i've learned over the last few days and plugged into LLM to organize for a quick post. I'm sure there is a ton missing. Not financial advice, do your own research. I took a position today. Pages that I learned from: @VASTCNC @pennycheck @kingtutcap @BryanBerg2000 @TheCrypticWolf






Golden Dome is a system-of-systems. The challenge isn’t invention, but production capacity and a supply chain that can sustain deterrence. It demands propulsion, energetics, advanced electronics and AI-enabled hardware at scale, without delay. Read more here: voyagertechnologies.com/insights/what-… $VOYG #missionready
