For too long, we got comfortable with minimal progress in aviation. That’s changing. From X-59 and quiet supersonic flight to the ambitious missions ahead in and out of our atmosphere, @POTUS has challenged us to take on the big, bold endeavors again. We are rebuilding a grand fleet of NASA X-planes. We’re getting new gear again.

Rocket Lab shares fell after it signaled a potential new delay with its Neutron rocket, raising the prospect that the vehicle meant to challenge SpaceX’s dominant Falcon 9 rocket won’t fly until 2027 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

🚀 26.BX Release 5 is now in pre-release! SpaceWERX seeks Direct-to-Phase II solutions for radiation-hardened, high-voltage power switches enabling next-gen space power & propulsion. 🛰️ Ask questions before submissions open Aug. 26. 🔗 dodsbirsttr.mil/submissions/lo…

We’ve completed the acquisition of Goonhilly and COMSAT, expanding our space network for communications, data transport, and PNT in support of Moon Base. The network will support our IM‑3 and Altus‑1 missions along with the growing mission cadence of civil, national security, and commercial customers. #IntuitiveMachines #Goonhilly #COMSAT #Space #Lunar #MoonBase #DeepSpace #SpaceNetwork #IM3 #Altus1

Stage 2 testing is officially underway at NASA Stennis 🚀 The campaign kicked off with successful cryoproof, loading the stage with cryogenic fluids and pressurizing it beyond expected flight loads to validate its structural integrity, followed by COPV manifold proof testing to verify the high-pressure system that will pressurize propellants during flight. These tests also marked the activation of A2, bringing together the infrastructure, flight hardware, ground and vehicle software, and the integrated team of test, launch, and vehicle engineers. Next up: hot fire capable assembly work, then back to the stand ahead of stage hot fire testing. 🔥

It's a beautiful evening for a rocket launch at LC-1 with @QPS_Inc. Horizontal checkouts complete and Electron is vertical on the pad ✅ Operations are tracking to schedule for tonight's launch window opening at: 🚀 9:00 pm/09:00 NZST/UTC 🚀 6:00 pm JST 🚀 5:00 am EDT 🚀 2:00 am PDT

SpaceX is partnering with @nvidia to design the Starmind AI1 satellite compute payload. Each of the Starmind satellites will include NVIDIA Rubin GPUs and Vera CPUs for datacenter class space compute → spacex.com/spacexai/starm…

Missile defense from wherever it's needed 🚀❄️ We're officially headed to Alaska to establish our fourth launch complex to support our largest launch contract yet: $266M for up to 18 suborbital launches for missile defense with the Space Force's @USSF_SSC

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter. AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country. Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models. images.nvidia.com/pdf/Open-Weigh…
