Don't wait for life -- Do you...and find yourself

The world awaits....

[Reuben Garcia @Rocket_Flyer]

I am asking the questions that for some, is the uncomfortable dialogue they don't want to have.

Tell me what I don't know.....don't ask me to believe lies.

Greetings from the 2026 Liquid Propulsion Symposium at Flabob airport. Home of the 1st EAA chapter

[RocketTalk🚀 @Pad33space]

Joe Barnard talking about how to land a rocket at the Liquid Propulsion Symposium.

[Reuben Garcia @Rocket_Flyer]

I had a fantastic time at the #2025LPS, which featured an impressive lineup of content.

A highlight was when @joebarnard unexpectedly showed a clip of Xaero-A, a vehicle I built and tested, making the experience both nostalgic and rewarding. We would remove the landing gear...

We had 34 university teams and 23 companies represented at the 🔥 Liquid Propulsion Symposium. So many great speakers, project displays, and demonstrations. Thank you to all that attended 🙏🏻

I will be attending the Liquid Propulsion Symposium this Saturday (01/25) 🚀

Come over and say hi

Congratulations Blue🚀

New Glenn safely reached its intended orbit during today's NG-1 mission, accomplishing our primary objective. The second stage is in its final orbit following two successful burns of the BE-3U engines. The Blue Ring Pathfinder is receiving data and performing well.

We lost the booster during descent. We knew landing the first stage on the first try was ambitious. We'll learn, refine, and apply that knowledge to our next launch in the spring. We're thrilled with today's outcome. More: https://t.co/5cF4ACgm3X

Unpacked some of my bookshelf props. These were obsolete, due to modern applications and tools, when I picked them up 20 years ago.

Still, something tangible about them though when you flip through the pages.

You can almost feel the hard fought knowledge they contain.

@Foximus05 @joebarnard Day time launches make finding the pieces easier as well.

The pieces are like the consolation prize 🏆 your parents put on the fridge.

[James A. M. Muncy @JamesMuncy]

@Rocket_Flyer Wow... this is like the great Space Access conferences that Henry Vanderbilt organized in Phoenix in the 90s and 00s.

[Reuben Garcia @Rocket_Flyer]

@JamesMuncy It is indeed.

[Reuben Garcia @Rocket_Flyer]

I'll be at the Liquid Propulsion Symposium with some of my students.

Hit me up if you're going.

2024: A Year to Remember for Intuitive Machines 🚀
This year, we reached for the stars—and landed on the Moon! 🌒
In February, we made history, returning the United States to the Moon for the first time since 1972.
But 2024 wasn’t just about the landing. It was about laying the foundation to provide lunar services that unlock the lunar economy.
Highlights include:
⭐️ Winning $4.82 billion max value NASA Near Space Network contracts to establish communication and navigation services for missions in the near space region,
⭐️ Building on our leadership role in the Artemis campaign by earning a fourth contract under NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative, to deliver payloads to the Moon, and
⭐️ Securing a prime contractor position under NASA’s Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services contract and taking the Moon RACER LTV from concept to reality in just four months. We capped off an epic year by completing the LTV’s first round of human-in-the-loop testing just weeks ago.
As we prepare for the IM-2 Mission in 2025, we’re proud to be at the forefront of humanity’s return to the Moon, shaping the future of lunar mobility, sustainability, and exploration—on the Moon and beyond.
🌠 Here’s to dreaming big! Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we’ll make 2025 even more extraordinary!
