BlackSky has announced that they've shipped their 2nd 3rd generation satellite to New Zealand for launch, which is expected in the next few weeks! After this launch, Rocket Lab is contracted for 3 additional launches carrying Gen 3 satellites, which are expected later this year.

What in the world

Gilmour Space had an interesting anomaly in the leadup to their first launch. The payload fairing was inadvertently triggered and separated on the pad. This is something that I've never seen in any rocket, and in my view raises some concerns about the quality control present at Gilmour Space.

Little known fact that Grover Cleveland used to ride around the world in the Statue of Liberty and have sensitive national security discussions inside it, before taking possession of it himself after he left office.

If you "moderate" to insane extremist you just keep allowing people to be pulled over there. If they get any more moderate we just have a normal conservative party and the batshit right wing extremist. I guess, the bulwark can have a party again, sure it will go better this time around.

So its an unusable gift for the most of the term and then its trumps free to use for a few months as AF1 then its his? Or they have no intention of leaving at the end of the term and this is muddying the waters between personal and public assets. Good news though, only good things come from that👍

Trump doesn’t know the name of people he hired literally weeks before, routinely. Only way you’d know about it is if you follow clippers on here or X, not arguing Joe isn’t old but continuing hammering him while trump is literally asleep drooling at the popes funeral as potus is insanity

A view from the nest! Our Pioneer spacecraft hosts Varda Space Industries manufacturing capsule in the “bird’s nest”—a secure spot that keeps the capsule protected during in-space operations until it’s time to come home. 🐣 Learn more about Pioneer & our family of spacecraft: bit.ly/3YlOEdK

Pointy end up ⬆️ Testing is underway and close to completing qualification. This Neutron assembly represents the top of Stage 1 and includes the hungry hippo reusable fairing, canards, and the extended interstage with some of the most complex mechanical systems that exist on the vehicle.

Chase Gallagher, 24, began landscaping when he was just 12 or 13, he says. He registered his landscaping company, CMG Landscaping, in 2015. In 2024, Gallagher’s business brought in $1,085,000 in sales. He earned just under $500,000 through his salary and owner share of the business. cnb.cx/4cWkcwQ

Elon made SX engineers chase around the theory their rocket was snipped by ULA for over a month. Even them shooting helium tanks in Texas to see if the explosion was similar, insane clown show

On #NationalSpaceDay, we celebrate the stars above—and the people bold enough to reach for them. From building satellites to launching rockets, Rocket Lab is opening access to space to improve life here on Earth. 🛰️ 🚀

Awful for all the smaller/medium size commercial space companies as well. Will likely see bankruptcies within a year if this passes as all the business for component suppliers for earth science missions, deep space missions etc dry up.

Every time an administration has radically altered NASA’s goals or programs it has been a giant cluster fuck. We had 4 admins in a row largely stick with the plan and that was amazing, NASA has had an incredible 10-15 years. Budget reduces nasa to nothing more than a SX piggy bank

Cancelling SLS/Orion is dumb after three flights unless there is an operational replacement. The worst part of this though is the space science, complete devastation
