Newsflash: Defense technology companies fail a lot. When we're building weapons that help deter war and defend our troops, test failures are essential to the mission. We don't hide from them. We plan for them, learn from them and succeed because of them.
Recent media inquiries are trying to sensationalize isolated test failures. They miss the entire point of innovation. Real technological progress requires relentless testing, intentional system breaking, and rapid iteration. Our 200+ test engineers deliberately push systems to breaking points across 6 test sites because controlled failures create battlefield resilience. Finding these failures in controlled environments is the entire point of what we do.
At Anduril, we fail forward because war doesn't wait for perfection. Neither do our adversaries.
On Wednesday, June 18 at approximately 11 p.m. CT, the Starship preparing for the tenth flight test experienced a major anomaly while on a test stand at Starbase. A safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted for.
Our Starbase team is actively working to safe the test site and the immediate surrounding area in conjunction with local officials. There are no hazards to residents in surrounding communities, and we ask that individuals do not attempt to approach the area while safing operations continue
I get this question quite often of “what’s your end goal”. I always answer, with this. This. The journey is the goal. To create is the goal. To do. Is the goal. I want to tell stories, my stories. And inevitably, the human story.
I’m incredibly proud of this teaser video for @SeizeCTRL with director @PatrickLawler at the helm! Anything is possible. Make sure you play the game and Stack Sats!!
