A recent study has confirmed our suspicions: The average age of a professional aerospace engineer is 14; this data has exclusively been gathered from here on X. stick around for the full story coming soon.

Defeated the industrial gas bureaucracy today (convinced Airgas to sell us a nitrogen)

@Robotbeat None, which is a problem. I wish there was, but considering the performance of a pocket NC, it's basically worthless unless you're machining parts with zero requirements for precision.

@beerrocketlab What 5 axis mill can I get that is less than $10k and made in USA?

WTH? And country of origin is US?? Under $10k?? Does anyone on here have the McMaster-Carr desktop 5-axis CNC mill?

@milspecshitpost Many are saying this! RPE is extremely overrated

this book sucks ass btw

@RocketLab @Virginia_Space BRL GSE assessment: 10/10 good work Where are my fellow GSE ball knowers at?

Launch Complex 3 is almost complete and on track for its official opening next month 🏗️ Our team in Virginia is deep into launch pad activation, going system by system to prepare for test operations once flight hardware arrives ahead of Neutron’s first launch.

Make me understand why this is not a grift. A quick calc shows a typical solar panel at mid-latitude produces 15$/m2/yr. As such, your satellite must amortize for some amount less than that to provide competitive cost on light to a solar farm.

@Some1gee @redbullfuturist I love grayloc‼️‼️🗣️🗣️

@redbullfuturist Certified grayloc enjoyer? x.com/some1gee/statu…

@pronounced_kyle Raahhhhhh one of the greatest books ever

I just acquired this nearly 150 year old Bible (1895) for $10.

@milspecshitpost Is that blue monster ptfe tape????

Today ended up being cold flow only, but we proofed the system and flow numbers were matching our model. Got a lot of the hard stuff done today. Final tweaks to igniter timing and static fire tomorrow!

@ashleevance @Kemp @Peter_J_Beck When the fajitas come out sizzlin

Give the people what they want. @Kemp on the pod Friday . . . . and surprise @Peter_J_Beck coming later in the month

@okthisisnagy @CATIAManikin RAAAAAH HUZEL HUANG MENTIONED

@CATIAManikin hot take sutton is mid, if you want actually practical actionable info go for huzel and huang

Does anyone have any other rocket engine design book recs for someone who is almost definitely going to be killed in an explosion in the next 12-24 months

@michaelsrockets @Kemp The kemp sweep is inevitable

Ok @Kemp has to be one of the funniest space CEOs lol

@Kemp #kempsweep

I can’t express how excited Adam and I are to have Al Weston join us to lead our fourth generation rocket program back to the pad! Rocket 4 is the first rocket developed and produced on a production line capable of manufacturing *hundreds* of rockets per year. Everything we are learning about profitably manufacturing our 100% reliable satellite engines applies to rockets… so proud of our team relentlessly doing what it takes to succeed!

Astra Out-hardwaring Relativity for the entirety of 2024 was not on my bingo card for that year

So much talk about Neutron flying in 2025, yet everyone is forgetting the real winner. @Kemp owns the finish line and Rocket 4 will sweep
