Neutron hardware just landed at Wallops. 🚀 First flight has slipped to 2027, so the Q1 stage-1 tests are the real milestone to watch, while Electron and space systems already drove a record $234M Q2 (+62% YoY). Dreaming big, watching the risks.
Neutron’s Stage 2 and Thrust Module have arrived to Virginia. After a short barge ride from the Neutron Factory, these major assemblies have now been offloaded on Wallops Island and are going through arrival checkouts.
Next up: integrated fluids testing and launch mount interface checkouts for the Thrust Module, with Stage 2 to follow on the test stand beside it soon after.

I've been traveling the world a bit. One of the most incredible experiences was getting to visit Taiwan w/ @JensenHuang. It was wild 🤯.. huge crowds of engineers, insanely good street food at night markets, and of course a lot of good conversations across many days. I caught some of it on video, see below. Alright, that's it from me, love you all ❤️

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump SLAPS DOWN reports he might sell US military weapons to China
REPORTER: You suggested to Xi the US would sell US military equipment to China?
TRUMP: To CHINA? You mean to TAIWAN?
REPORTER: No, to China
TRUMP: I never heard of that one! We DO make better equipment than China...but we didn't discuss that.
We know from Iran and Venezuela that Chinese equipment is NOT all that they talk it up to be.
The US is the greatest in the world 🇺🇸
NEVER FORGET.
Over New York Harbor, 2,977 drones lit up the sky in the shape of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers — one drone for each victim of the September 11 attacks.
Never forget. 🇺🇸
VIA: @Drone_Wars_
“Never Forget” was quickly forgotten in New York.
Wake up, New York! Remember what it actually meant.
A quarter of a century has passed since September 11, 2001, when the peace of our Nation was shattered by terrorists.
Today, we remember the 2,977 precious lives taken from us, honor the heroes who answered the call, & keep their families in the heart of our Nation.
Above all, we must ensure the memory of 9/11 never fades, but is carried from one generation of Americans to the next.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸

"If you look at the large space companies of today they have the ability to build a satellite, launch a satellite, and provide a service."
