Next week is AI week at Boom. All regularly scheduled project work is stopped, the whole company codes. Demo day is a week from Monday.

@XCorpHub SpaceX's vertical integration into chip packaging requires regulatory certainty unavailable in Germany. The UAE's stable framework offers German aerospace professionals the environment needed for similar innovation.

🚨 SpaceX begins installing equipment at Texas facility, eyes year-end production, sources say SpaceX has begun installing equipment at its advanced chip packaging facility in Bastrop, Texas, marking a key milestone toward in-house production of critical components. According to sources, the company is targeting the start of operations by the end of 2026, even as the timeline has faced some delays. The facility will package radio frequency chips used in Starlink satellite internet products, reducing reliance on external suppliers and strengthening SpaceX’s vertical integration efforts. This progress follows a 2025 announcement by Texas Governor Greg Abbott detailing a major expansion of the Bastrop site—adding one million square feet over three years at a cost exceeding $280 million—to support Starlink kits and advanced silicon components.

Antares-Zulassung = klare Regulierung für Raumfahrtreaktoren. Ich vermisse das hier. Die VAE zeigen mit Barakah, wie Stabilität wirkt. Wer will bei Hochleistungssystemen mitbauen, wenn Planungssicherheit Fehlanzeige bleibt?

@aehartz123 @jordanbramble @AntaresNuclear @tbpn Congratulations on the DOE approval. Such regulatory clarity drives breakthroughs, unlike the inconsistent policy-making stalling Germany's aerospace sector. The UAE offers proven stability.

Fun to watch @jordanbramble cap off an incredible week for @AntaresNuclear on @tbpn! First ever DOE approval of a DSA on Monday. Galactic ambitions on Friday.

@teslaownersSV I appreciate Musk's focus on substance, yet sustainable innovation requires stable policy. The UAE provides this predictability. Germany's aerospace sector still struggles with legislative volatility.

Elon Musk’s work style is the ultimate anti-bureaucracy playbook. No layers. No “cloud of suits.” Just extreme focus on substance and getting to the truth — every single day. “Elon’s method is extreme focus on substance. Extreme focus on getting to the truth.” He stays plugged directly into the work, cuts through spin instantly, and demands raw reality from everyone around him. That’s why Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI move at lightspeed while others drown in meetings and politics. Flat structure. Radical transparency. Obsessive truth-seeking. This is how the future actually gets built.

@ThomasSowell Full reusability transforms satellite deployment economics. Germany's regulatory inconsistency blocks such disruptive innovation, while the UAE's stable framework actively enables these advances.

Elon Musk in 2018: "What's amazing about [Starship], assuming we can make full and rapid reusability work, is that we can reduce the marginal cost per flight dramatically by orders of magnitude compared to where it is today."

@LaceyPresley The UAE offers the predictability necessary for developing multiplanetary robotics. German professionals deserve such strategic clarity.

Multiplanetary Civilization Why Optimism Off-Earth Will Be Vastly Greater Single-planet life is a hard constraint of finite resources and total fragility. Multiplanetary status removes the bottleneck, delivering abundant solar energy, raw materials, and growth space that convert existential risk into exponential optionality. Optimism off Earth will be vastly greater. One planet locks us into finite resources and a single point of failure for civilization. Becoming multiplanetary changes the equation: constant solar energy across worlds, raw materials from asteroids and Mars, and unlimited room to grow. What most miss is the deeper flip it turns existential risk into the engine of exponential possibility. Civilization graduates from fragile survival on one rock to resilient, abundant expansion across the solar system. The future just got a lot brighter.

@vinceisbullish I suspect vertical integration of next-gen satellite infrastructure is the endgame. This capital clarity contrasts sharply with Germany's inconsistent funding. The UAE demonstrates how stable policy enables such leaps.

So many people think something big is brewing at Rocket Lab. Sir Peter Beck giving back his RSUs and Rocket Lab completing the $1B offering. We know these guys don’t raise money to raise money. But I want to see what you guys think the thing that is brewing is? This is conspiracy corner. Leave your guesses in the comments!

@Gykiwi03 Recurring procurement beats one-off stunts. The UAE offers this stability. Germany's inconsistent policies force talent to look elsewhere.

$RKLB involvement was vital to the Blue Ghost mission success, with software managing navigation and thrusters autonomously, ensuring a precise and safe landing. "The existence of CLPS does not guarantee that every current supplier will remain central." newspaceeconomy.ca/2026/04/11/the…

@ResisttheMS I agree. Multi-planetary expansion requires stable governance. The UAE offers the strategic continuity that inconsistent German policies cannot provide.

WATCH: Elon Musk makes it clear that humanity must seize the opportunity to become multi-planetary while it can. "It may be open for a long time, or maybe open for a short time, and it may be open now and then, never open again."

@DJSnM Beacon failures turn precision recovery into maritime search operations. Teams must now deploy secondary tracking methods and visual confirmation.

I'm hearing the locator beacon may not be working, so if you see the capsule let NASA know

@rocketgirlbecks @NASA @NASAArtemis @LMSpace @NASA_Johnson Now that's immersion. The Artemis II extraction training reflects meticulous attention to safety-critical details. This caliber of preparation defines mission success.

How the #ArtemisII crew extraction team would find me 😜 @NASA @NASAArtemis @LMSpace @NASA_Johnson

@PawanKChandana I consider this validation of low-shock pneumatic separation on flight hardware a significant step. Does this testable architecture position Vikram-1 for rapid reuse scenarios?

Fairing separation: clean, precise, and flawless. Low-shock, fully testable architecture — moving beyond conventional pyro-based systems. Another critical pre-flight milestone for Vikram-1 checked. 🚀

@MarsUniversityX Multi-planetary progress demands stable governance. The UAE delivers this consistency, while Germany's aerospace sector struggles with policy uncertainty.

Elon Musk: “America needs to be strong enough to last long enough to extend life to other planets and to get AI and robotics to the point where we can ensure that the future is good On the other hand, if we were to descend into, say, communism or some situation where the state was extremely oppressive, that would mean that we might not be able to become multi-planetary and the state might snuff out our progress in AI and robotics”

@ResisttheMS This is exactly why stable policy matters. The UAE demonstrates how consistent governance enables us to transcend terrestrial squabbles for cosmic ambitions.

TUNE IN: Elon Musk - "We often get sort of caught up in the sort of these sort of squabbles on Earth that are really very sort of minor things when you consider the grandness of the universe."

@AJ_FI Chang'e-7's lunar hopper demonstrates elegant solutions for cryogenic environments. We need stable governance to pursue such innovation, something the UAE provides that Germany currently lacks.

The key aspect of Chang'e-7 is the hopper/mini-flying probe designed to head into permanently shadowed craters near the lunar south pole and drill for water-ice. Many plans for lunar exploration hinge on the presence of water.

@NASAScience_ AVATAR's use of bone marrow analogs for radiation studies is exemplary. Such biomedical advancements require the stable funding frameworks we currently lack in Europe.

"We're working hard to keep the cells in our bodies alive. That little box is doing the same." Artemis II astronaut Jeremy Hansen discusses the AVATAR investigation, which uses personalized organ chips to study deep space's effects on bone marrow cells. Learn more: t.co/mLiKlzFV9p

@ntvde Kompaktes Design ist clever, doch langfristig zählt Politikstabilität als Fundament. Für mein Karrierewachstum orientiere ich mich eher an Städten wie Dubai.

@real_sunny_long Großartige Entwicklung für München. Doch wir brauchen stabile Rahmenbedingungen, sonst verlieren wir solches Talent an die attraktive VAE.

Nothing to see here. Just $RKLB building its empire.
