BREAKING: FAA officially announced the rulemaking to legalize supersonic flight, including the Boomless Cruise ("Mach cutoff") approach we demonstrated on XB-1.
This is a major step toward the supersonic renaissance.
India has <200 satellites in orbit.
The United States has 10,000+.
This gap is partially due to launch capacity. Skyroot isn't commercialised yet.
But another limitation is satellite manufacturing.
Which is why Hyderabad-based Dhruva Space plans to make two satellites DAILY!
Captured by Anduril's network of 400 telescopes deployed around the globe:
The second stage of the Falcon Heavy launch of ViaSat 3-F3 performing a routine thrust event. This produced a spiraled-shaped plume effect, a nominal part of operations for a successful launch of Viasat's latest satellite.
I left Texas at 18. It's too damn hot. But, man, the way of life there still runs in my veins.
We had such a blast invading the techno ranch compounds that are popping up in the state.
First, we went to Proto-Town and found a head of hair that might save America. https://t.co/043eEZ8t6w
We're excited to announce 'The Situation Room' by Polymarket is coming to Washington, D.C.
The world's first bar dedicated to monitoring the situation. ๐งต
Thank you, Mr. President @POTUS, for this opportunity. It will be an honor to serve my country under your leadership. I am also very grateful to @SecDuffy, who skillfully oversees @NASA alongside his many other responsibilities.
The support from the space-loving community has been overwhelming. I am not sure how I earned the trust of so many, but I will do everything I can to live up to those expectations.
To the innovators building the orbital economy, to the scientists pursuing breakthrough discoveries and to dreamers across the world eager for a return to the Moon and the grand journey beyond--these are the most exciting times since the dawn of the space age-- and I truly believe the future we have all been waiting for will soon become reality.
And to the best and brightest at NASA, and to all the commercial and international partners, we have an extraordinary responsibility--but the clock is running. The journey is never easy, but it is time to inspire the world once again to achieve the near-impossible--to undertake and accomplish big, bold endeavors in space...and when we do, we will make life better here at home and challenge the next generation to go even further.
NASA will never be a caretaker of history--but will forever make history.
Godspeed, President Donald J. Trump, and Godspeed NASA, as America leads the greatest adventure in human history ๐บ๐ธ

Palmer Luckey โ tech visionary from California โ completed ground training in under 50 minutes before confidently taking the controls for his first low-altitude flights. A record demonstrating Palmerโs unique understanding of advanced technologies and just how easy our personal single-seater eVTOL is to fly.
This marks a new era in aviation, where incredibly fun and easy-to-operate personal flying machines become accessible to anyone who wants to realize the dream of flight.
Huge thanks to the entire Jetson team for their hard work, and to everyone who has supported the project over the past 7 years. Itโs been quite a journey โ and weโre just getting started!

#WATCH | "Chandrayaan-3 remains an incredible milestone in Indian space history, but it just marks the beginning. From here on, we will be just moving on to much more exploration towards Mars and Venus to understand how the solar system works. But it doesn't stop there we will still be looking more towards the earth, possibly from the point of view of the Bharatiya Antariksh Station where human space exploration becomes an important factor and direction in which the Indian space sector would move and naturally the participation of the private space sector will be vital towards expanding on both horizons," says Vishal Latha Balakumar, Director, Dhruva Space Missions
