"Tom Mueller is driving his candy green Porsche Taycan Turbo S the way he builds rocket engines: with a terrifying amount of instantaneous thrust..."

Before titles like "the godfather of rocketry" were tossed in Tom's (@lrocket) direction, there was an engineer with a penchant for the impossible.

@elonmusk came asking, "Can you build something bigger?"

Tom spent the next two decades answering it, redefining what was considered possible, and helping lay the foundation for a generation of spaceflight that the world is still catching up to.

It's impossible to tell the story of modern spaceflight without Tom's story. And it's impossible to tell the story of its future without Impulse.

.@GoToImpulse raises a $500M Series D! The funding will support hiring + manufacturing growth as the company scales to build in-space mobility infrastructure: the vehicles, propulsion systems, and operational architecture that determine where + how spacecraft move after launch.

Congrats @lrocket
Engineering & Financial excellence - Next stop, GEO.
LFG indeed!

This will set back US competitiveness massively unfortunately. They need a US national interest clause for researchers.

There are only two industrial actors in the world attempting to vertically integrate EVs, batteries, chips, robotics, and artificial intelligence. One is China. The other is an industrial conglomerate embodied in a single person: @elonmusk

"https://t.co/2StLfuifAa has solved the underlying architectural problem-loading models in seconds while keeping GPUs productively utilized-which is what finally makes the long tail commercially feasible. Our conviction in the team has only deepened since we first backed them."

[Airbus Ventures @AirbusVentures]

"The challenge has never been whether those models exist; it's whether they can be served reliably and at a cost that makes production deployment viable."

[Airbus Ventures @AirbusVentures]

“The next wave of AI adoption will not be carried by a handful of general-purpose models, but by the millions of specialized, fine-tuned models already being built in the open." -Abigail Hitchcock, Principal @AirbusVentures
