@aaronkemmer Feels more like "agent herder." The agent is creating the core product, but strays too often for the product to reach market.

Gm, personal news: I’ve joined @AstroForge as head of comms. AstroForge is building the full tech stack to transform resource extraction and enable routine access to deep space. I am thrilled to join this incomparable team working to strengthen America’s industrial sovereignty and secure its leadership in space. The company is wildly ambitious, technically serious, and pursuing some of the hardest problems in aerospace. As with any high-reward endeavor, there are real risks, technical and otherwise. But I wouldn’t be joining if I didn’t have conviction that the team @MattGialich built can pull it off. The company is moving quickly with many exciting announcements to come. And later this year, DeepSpace-2 will attempt to rendezvous with and land on an asteroid. Let’s go. 🚀

If your valuation is based primarily on compute and comms, then launching others’ payloads may be “optimizing a part which should not exist.”

We've gotten to know the @LunarOutpostInc team for almost 5 years, and all we have seen is exceptional technical execution by a team of unbelievably smart, kind, and creative individuals. Excited for @IndustriousVC to double-down and lead the Series B as the team looks play a leading role in building out lunar infrastructure and much more. Congrats to @StarlordCyrus and the team. ad lunam!
Lunar Outpost@LunarOutpostInc

We are excited to announce a $30M Series B led by @IndustriousVC, with participation from @TypeOneVC, @EniacVC, Reliable Equity, @PromusVentures, @endeavor_global, and others to accelerate the critical industrial mobility layer required for a Moon Base. “Lunar Outpost is moving beyond early missions to scaled, repeatable deployment,” said @TaylorCSargent, Partner at Industrious Ventures. “They’ve proven they can build for one of the most challenging environments imaginable, with significant demand across government programs and commercial customers. They are building the systems that will be relied on again and again as we return to the Moon, set our sights on Mars, and build a robust space economy.” The Series B builds on a strong foundation of financial success and market validation. Lunar Outpost has doubled its revenue each year for the past four years and secured eight fully contracted lunar and cislunar missions. Lunar Outpost has consistently delivered ahead of schedule on aggressive timelines, with multiple systems already delivered and deployed. Combined with a strong cadence of government and commercial contracts, the new financing ensures the company is well-positioned as it executes on its rapidly expanding mission portfolio.

Listen I cringe when I hear Hollywood question the lack of “wisdom” from the tech world. But I also hear an earnest concern coming from people with the ear of large swaths of the population. Not sure what the answer is here (above my pay grade) but we need the broad populace to see how the optimistic outcomes will far outweigh the dystopian fear that has a stranglehold on so many. x.com/Zigmanfreud/st…

We're partnering with @XPRIZE and Range Media Partners to launch the Future Vision XPRIZE, a $3.5 million global film competition. We're putting out a call for short films and trailers that envision an optimistic, technology-forward future, using the power of storytelling and AI tools like @FlowByGoogle.

@DrPhiltill My definition of a planet is from a galactic perspective. If you were approaching the Solar System, considering orbital characteristics Pluto is clearly “not like the others”, and for that matter neither is Mercury. I might include Vesta and Ceres among the planets.

One of the enjoyable parts of @NASAArtemis has been the eloquence of @Astro_Christina in sharing her experience and passion. Do you have any quotes from Christina you can share?

A nice example of a typical asteroid track from our @TransAstra_Corp SutterTKO global telescope network. This is based on a stack of about 30 images with 4.5-second exposures (over about ten minutes). Notice that this visual magnitude asteroid is at about magnitude 19 and moving pretty fast, and this was done with a single, off-the-shelf RASA-11 optical tube assembly. This is a newly discovered asteroid called 2026 HE4. We do this all the time, but I thought it would be fun to share with X-space. By observing this asteroid, we help the science community get better orbital elements. Notice that in the non-streaked images, the asteroid is too faint to see, but it shows up in the velocity-streaked images. We normally guess about 150,000 possible velocity vectors in each stack, and this one found this asteroid. This process provides not only the position of the asteroid but also really good astrometry and angular velocity data for the community. We don't get paid for this, but do it just as members of the community as a plus from the work we do for the space force. We can also add images digitally from adjacent telescopes in a digital process called co-boresiting to see fainter images, but did not need to do that for this one.

@aaronburnett I’m looking forward to Orbital Infrastructure getting some of the $$$Bs in investment that civilizationally-important terrestrial infrastructure has been built with!

Orbital infrastructure era is upon us. Investors do not have the choice to hand wave space away as science fiction for the distant future. Starship, SpaceX, Space Force, Compute Energy demands and other tailwinds are accelerating this move.

We’re announcing two new partnerships to bring innovative energy generation and storage to our data centers: 1/ 🛰️ Space Solar: Partnering with Overview Energy to beam up to 1 GW of space solar power from orbit to Earth for around the clock power production.

@DrPhiltill Wasn't clear if it is a student-focused challenge or broader solicitation.

Opportunity to win cash and to get your space ideas presented to national space leadership.
Greg Autry🚀@GregWAutry

The @UCF Space Ideation Challenge will award $125,000 for YOUR ideas on effective space policy. An amazing group of judges will review the submissions and the winners will be recognized at #UCFSpaceWeek this fall. These ideas will be presented to national space leaders.

@nickgraynews I decided to stop fighting it, and just limited the content that was available to anonymous accounts, and enforce rate limits per IP. My counter-measures were introducing too much complexity in my life.

I just blocked the entire country of China from my PatronView.com website My site is getting hammered with over 1 million requests in the past 10 hours and a lot of those were passing the Cloudflare Managed Challenge I had to do the same to Vietnam recently too
