Up next, Falcon 9 will launch 130 payloads to orbit from California aboard the Transporter-18 mission. Liftoff is targeted for 11:22 a.m. PT → https://t.co/ITRKTeX0fu
T-24 hours until Protostar launches on SpaceX's Transporter-18!
This is our prototype power node to test our end-to-end tech stack in orbit. Upon completion, this will be the world’s first optical power beamed between two free-flying spacecraft.
This technological advancement will enable on-demand wireless power transmission and act as the foundation of Star Catcher’s orbital energy grid.

Let there be light! Today we announce Protostar, our prototype power node. Launching on @SpaceX's Transporter-18, Protostar aims to beam optical power between two free-flying spacecraft for the first time ever. Read our @WIRED exclusive here: https://t.co/nflw7IgCVH
📣 We just broke DARPA’s world record for optical power beaming — a breakthrough bringing limitless orbital power within reach.
Delivering more than 1.1 kilowatts of electrical power to standard satellite solar panels — including real customer hardware — we surpassed the previous record of 800 watts.
Check out the Bloomberg exclusive from Loren Grush to learn how this milestone paves the way for Star Catcher's space power grid: https://t.co/SvCuHjdvoY

I want to start a conversation about something.
Jacksonville is quietly beginning one of the most ambitious transportation projects in its history, and the way that project is built could define the city’s transportation future, but only if we want it to.
Here’s how. #jaxpol 🧵
Your commute is part of your working day. Not only should we be paid for it but we should also be able to write off its expense. You can’t change my mind.
The animals are proxies for humans and human issues rather than animals in their own right facing animal-related issues. We try to enforce the “no pants” rule. Classic characters excepted.
