Winter in San Diego means sunny skies, ocean views, and Aztec energy.

While much of the country is bundled up, our community is soaking up the sun, recharging, and enjoying the season the San Diego way. ☀️🌊

New research @JRuralHealth
20% of US youth meet physical activity guidelines, but the story isn't the same for everyone
✅️ Sports matter, especially in urban areas
⚠️ Female non-sport participants are most at-risk for inactivity
🌟 We need better metrics for sport activity

Surprise! Mission accomplished. We just executed Remora, our first closed-loop rendezvous mission, in orbit. The entire operation relied on a single camera sensor and peripheral flight computer, an industry first. The Remora mission was developed in just nine months with our partners @GoToImpulse, and quietly launched earlier this year on board Impulse’s LEO Express 2 Mira.
