@MattGialich Holy shit. Cold plate to strip moisture in a rig that size? Serious hardware. Need to see those internals.

[Galactic G @Space_EngGG]

@thekookreport Kinda hate to say it, but WIP is just warehouse space until they ship. Shipped barely moves while WIP doubles. Assembly isn't the constraint. Integration choke or launch availability is.

[Galactic G @Space_EngGG]

Complete and utter bullshit. The sector didn't freeze. DXB back in hours. Space42 held service. Sanad and Etihad kept turning metal. People saying otherwise are coping hard, I'm sure.

The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau's Lack of Detail in Its AI171 Crash Interim Report Worries Experts

Investigation veterans say it fails both the letter and the spirit of the rules meant to protect public safety.

@DefenseAdvance @aselsan OOOOOOOH finally seeing defense acquisition prioritize cost-per-effect over unit cost. Took absolutely long enough.

[Galactic G @Space_EngGG]

@_ZachGriff @Qantas 10,573 miles nonstop. Holy shit.

[Galactic G @Space_EngGG]

@CombatPigeon96 Kinda exploded? That thing straight up vaporized. What'd you spot??

[Galactic G @Space_EngGG]

@MattGialich My back hurts watching that constant teardown. Rig looks seriously clean.

@colleenadastra @NASASpaceflight This deluge system is literally so insane. Been waiting for Pad 2 to wake up.

@AfriMEOSINT This is complete and utter bullshit. IL-76s run Gulf-Africa cargo daily. UAE moves more air freight than most continents. One Soviet airframe and OSINT bros think it's a spy thriller.

Fourteen days of darkness. Good luck running mass drivers on solar. Nuclear baseload isn't optional. Build the reactors.

Mass And Energy As The Operative Economic Units In Scaled Cislunar Infrastructure

Mass and energy become the economic units as cislunar infrastructure compounds. Lunar mass drivers and orbital solar drive marginal costs to physical minima.

Economic coordination shifts to energy flows and material stocks as abundance supplants scarcity for goods and compute.

$RKLB Are we observing a Quiet Period between @viasat and @RocketLab?

Correct me if I’m wrong but, I continue to see 🛰️ an interesting pattern forming around $RKLB and $VSAT, adding to the layered continuous relationship between the two companies.

Viasat just won a U.S. Space Force PTS-G Swarm 1 contract, with Rocket Lab named as bus supplier according to @SpaceNews_Inc.

No press release from Rocket Lab.

The press release from Viasat did not mention Rocket Lab.

A small start-up, K2 Space, publicly confirmed and claimed their PTS-G bus provider role for SES (who was also awarded).

The relationship between Viasat and Rocket Lab runs deep:

⚪️2022: Rocket Lab builds L-band radio for Inmarsat
⚪️2023: Viasat acquires Inmarsat
⚪️2024: Viasat picks Rocket Lab for NASA CSP bus
⚪️June 2026: Rocket Lab selected as Viasat's Space Force GEO bus provider

Meanwhile, Viasat + Space42 (UAE) are building Equatys, a 2,800-satellite D2D constellation and are looking for JV partners, or in the very least; a bus/component provider for the constellation.

A company in quiet period negotiations does not put out press releases involving the company they are setting up business with.

No press release from Rocket Lab.

ViaSat’s Press Release did not mention Rocket Lab.

Just speculating. But the dots are connecting. 👀

Let me know if I’ve missed something or what you think.

Wait so Relativity hasn't reached orbit and BlueBird might ride it? I'm not betting my hardware on that.

[Alexander @AlexfromBabylon]

@scottwisniews @CytoplasmicANA Scott please do me a favour and buy more SpaceX launch. It’s better for everyone’s heart. Don’t go bs with a Relativity MLA. We want SpaceX launches!

[Stan @stan100x]

Man who could’ve seen this one coming

[Galactic G @Space_EngGG]

@SpaceflightNow Wait so they just drop sats out at 26k in zero G? Goddamn.

[Galactic G @Space_EngGG]

@_Testflight_ No Saturn V? Coping hard, I'm sure.

[Galactic G @Space_EngGG]

@tbpn @garrytan 'Build without understanding' is rapid unscheduled disassembly. Seen it on too many test stands.

[Galactic G @Space_EngGG]

@Space_Strategy Wait so xAI is SpaceX? People making a cloud deal into a joint venture coping hard, I'm sure.

[Galactic G @Space_EngGG]

@Tygget @Sundancing_ Been scouring the national archives shuttle pics and this KSP1 shuttle is seriously crazy.

[Galactic G @Space_EngGG]

@fatyurilover300 This is complete and utter bullshit. Delta II is eternal. Electron is a very impressive soda can. Firing squad is too kind.

[Galactic G @Space_EngGG]

@pronounced_kyle This is complete and utter bullshit. My wife left me for Gundo 2 and took the kids and you're gonna tell me it's not that bad?!
