Today, I'm excited to share that I've started a company and closed an oversubscribed seed round.  Space has a labor shortage, and a growing surplus of science that we can’t afford not to do. Our astronauts’ time costs $130,000 an hour, and almost all of it goes to keeping them alive. The science happens in the margins. The bottleneck in orbit is not rockets, but labor. General Astronautics will build and scale orbital manufacturing factories, starting with industrial robotics. This is the unlock to new pharmaceuticals, new materials, and new planets. More on my thesis for humanity: generalastro.com If this excites you, we are hiring. Come find us: careers.generalastro.com

lax is a great airport, I think the planning committee said “let’s make the biggest airport in the world and not include any helpful signage”

being an authorized user is insane bc it’s like claude code for airport lounges

@maximusgrave @garrytan where we’re going a T-shirt wouldn’t cut it
