We are still stealth, but it's my company so I can say whatever the hell I want.

My company, which I founded, is working on this

I uploaded a photo of my cat Rainbow to Gemini Omni and asked it to created a video of my cat prancing through Tulips. It created this. The cat looks almost exactly like mine!

Don't do business with Godaddy, ever.

[Matthew Travis @MatthewBTravis]

@KristinaFitzsi I do! And I look forward to sharing some interesting information about it on social media soon. We're not quite ready, but getting close. I have two types of pets: my cat and my LLMs lol

Thanks to everyone who has been interacting with me on here the past several days. I appreciate. We all love spaceflight and have hopes for the future. I'm working hard in my business to help make hopes reality and it's very humbling to a now-aging GenX-er who still has hope.

@mckennaConfig @lavie154 So did the space shuttle after its 4th flight 😭 But yea, you are technically correct. BTW, I like SLS, I contributed to it, although I think it needs more flights before being "operational" But it's so ridiculously expensive that it makes the shuttle look cheap.

@SeanKD_Photos @NASAAdmin And don't forget he truly put his words to action by flying to orbit TWICE and was the first private astronaut to "walk" (more like stand hehe) in space and paid for the missions (mostly) himself! He is willing to risk his own life for the cause and the vision.

@KristinaFitzsi @KristinaFitzsi I understand and respect what you are saying, but, respectfully, your concerns are unwarranted. I can assure you of that. There ARE communications I have that are classified and restricted and I would never share those. But this is decidedly not in that category.

A message from Jared Isaacman to the NASA workforce

[Matthew Travis @MatthewBTravis]

@lavie154 This post is mis-leading and grounded in your pre-determined biases rather than critical and objective analysis.

[Matthew Travis @MatthewBTravis]

@lavie154 Most satellite operator launch needs require small and medium lift vehicles, not rockets that carry 50-100 tons at a time. That's just a characteristic of the industry. RocketLab, Firefly, ULA, etc. are critical players and core components of the launch ecosystem.

[Matthew Travis @MatthewBTravis]

@KristinaFitzsi And to be very clear, sharing emails, even including the Administrator's PUBLICLY AVAILABLE email address, is completely permissible. And yes, anyone is legally permitted to email the Administrator at the address. Finally, yes I did verify this long ago.

[Matthew Travis @MatthewBTravis]

@SkyEmpiren I tend to agree, unless NASA goes full-on Post-Apollo 1 Mode to go for it no matter what it takes.

[Matthew Travis @MatthewBTravis]

@WaywardSeafarer @KristinaFitzsi @WaywardSeafarer as a member of the NASA contractor team and contract employee who gets these emails and does have a view from the inside, I can attest that I do know how these emails are created. Apparently, you do not.

[Matthew Travis @MatthewBTravis]

@LilithEmmy Yeah, I chuckled at that.

[Matthew Travis @MatthewBTravis]

@AeroBigMike Dude, Jared wrote that the day after. Why the hell would you expect detailed plans of action and strategies immediately? Get real bro.

[Matthew Travis @MatthewBTravis]

@S9Gesus @letterjbp Yeah! Bridenstine was exceptional as well.

[Matthew Travis @MatthewBTravis]

@Astro_Clay Absolutely!
