Honestly even though I only saw 7 today, the reports are 30 in ATX. Will search for more later.

“We’ve done the analysis, reusable rockets aren’t economic.”

SpaceX makes reusable rockets economic.

“We’ve done the analysis satellite internet isn’t economic. The antenna alone is tens of thousands of dollars. The cost to manage a constellation that size, the radiation, the space hardened solar cost…”

Satellite internet appears to be a very good business with antennas in the $100 range.

“We’ve done the analysis, orbital data centers aren’t economic. The radiators, launch costs, the radiation, the solar…”

You are here.

Can confirm that in Austin, every single Model Y Robotaxi across town is driverless.

@IterIntellectus Harnessing even a millionth of the Sun’s power, which is extremely difficult, results in an economic value far more than a million times than that of Earth’s current entire economy

UPDATE: Blue Origin CEO, @davill has released a statement regarding the status of the New Glenn launch site in Florida…

- Majority of Ground Support Equipment is in good health.

- Water Tower is in good shape.

- New Glenn Booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and 3 NG upper stages that were onsite inside the hanger appear to be okay.

- Main Lightning/Support Tower will be repaired in place, NOT demolished.

- Blue is NOT moving on directly to 9x4, but will resume the 7x2 operations while 9x4 remains in development.

- A new vertical conop which was already in pre-production will replace the TE all together.

- @blueorigin is aiming at a return to flight by the end of 2026.

@davill Woah!!! By end of year would be incredible! Best of luck, we’ll be watching and cheering for the progress!

[EndlessPlaid @EndlessPlaid]

@davill SO good to hear, Dave! Thank you so much for the updates. We await eagerly for NG's return to flight! It should be glorious.

[Asher B. @asherbphotos]

@davill Great to hear 7x2 will return! Thank you so much for the update and transparency!
Wishing the best for team blue, Godspeed!

[Max Evans @_MaxQ_]

@davill @blueorigin Mega thanks for the updates here, Dave!

Looking forward to seeing the strength of Blue’s workforce in action. Y’all got this.

[Dave Limp @davill]

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.

I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.

We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.
