One aircraft. Many missions. Introducing our dual-use autonomous, series hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft platform. Jointly developed with @anduriltech over the last two years. The global shift towards scaled autonomy will drive demand, but a dual-use platform is critical to build a broad supply chain that can deliver at the scale and cost needed. Defense is moving from exquisite, expensive VTOL aircraft to autonomous “loyal wingman” systems fielded at scale without putting crews at risk. Commercial operators need to deliver payloads over long distances, fast, into places without a runway, without a crew, and at low cost. Today at Farnborough, Anduril unveils Thunder, the defense variant of the platform. Later this week, we’ll share more about the commercial variant.

Some women came up to trying to ask for money. I actually stoped cuz I wanted to hear her pitch. She is about 85% there….

As a California native it feels a bit strange that this is my first ever time in a blue bottle. My $8 cold brew was quite good though.

Rocket Lab is acquiring Iridium Communications Inc – one of the most transformative deals in the space industry. By combining our launch capability and satellite manufacturing with @IridiumComm’s global satellite communications network and rare spectrum, Rocket Lab becomes a fully integrated, self-launching, tier-1 space power, delivering critical communications capability to millions of users worldwide.

Unicorn TRL should be the only real TRL scale tbh.

@pronounced_kyle @SpaceX Agreed, Interesting to see though how the more launch's available with falcon 9 has made actually getting a launch even harder.

What metric matters most for space warfighting? Daily Mass to Orbit. Today, we can launch 10 tons to LEO daily, thanks to @SpaceX. That's a Falcon 9 ~every two days. Elon wants to grow that 240x with Starship — and we will need to grow that fast to maintain our advantage.

Let’s go team!

@jorgetheyounger Congrats man!

Personal update

DC summer heat is back 😛

Antares Mark-0 has achieved initial criticality! ⚛️

Opening canvas during finals week…..

Something about just some pencil and paper. Don’t get me wrong iPads are great but this just works better sometimes.

Big news: we just closed a $100M+ Series B. This funding will go toward building and operating our Otter missions, scaling to meet growing customer demand, and expanding our team. We've had a lot to celebrate lately, from missions like Remora and Otter Pup 2 to new contracts with great customers like SDA and the Space Force. And we're just getting started. Our first full Otter mission is on track to fly later this year. Read our full press release: starfishspace.com/press-release/… We’d like to thank our investors for helping us build the future of infrastructure in space. @p72vc, @ShieldCapVC, @IndustriousVC, @nightdragon
