I wish this level of elation & accomplishment in exorbitantly difficult things for every single space engineer out there. There’s nothing like it. But it’s oh so very rare. Congrats to the humans at Blue whose hard work and resilience made this happen. Onward to Mars!
First posts are live, with more dropping ~weekly. Two weeks free for everyone, plus a discounted annual rate for those down to lock in before the proverbial shelves are stocked!

That’s why we started The Responsible Engineer:
⚙️ Hard-won lessons learned & best practices
📑 Practical templates, design guides, & how-to's
🔧 Vetted resources catered to startups with time & money constraints
All built by operators who’ve shipped complex hardware at speed
Excited to have had the opportunity to sit down with @Cmdr_Hadfield for his new Podcast to talk energy in space, and how it informs how we think about energy here on Earth. Give it a listen!
Energy is so key to life that I made a 6-part podcast, getting great reviews:
"such a refreshing and inspiring way to explore the future of energy. I love how it blends science, storytelling & a call to action."

So happy for my Blue Origin fam, especially the engineers & techs who worked tirelessly to get this beast on the pad & to orbit on the first send. Blue Ring team: good luck with the rest of your mission. The combo of these two products will be huge for Blue.
Later today the 2nd most awesome rocket to watch on TV launches a spacecraft to my favorite place beyond Earth: Jupiter’s ocean moon Europa. Epic week for space — a giant satellite exploring the origins of life’s past, and a giant rocket that will usher us into the future.
We’re going on a 1.8-billion-mile journey to an ocean world – Jupiter moon, Europa!
@EuropaClipper is set to launch on Monday, Oct. 14, on a @SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket at 12:06pm ET (1606 UTC) from @NASAKennedy. Use #AskNASA to send us your questions. https://t.co/o3xgleA6Z3
Spacecraft currently on their way to destinations around the Solar System:
Hayabusa2 (asteroid 1998 KY26)
BepiColombo (Mercury)
OSIRIS-REx (Apophis)
Lucy (Jupiter asteroids)
Psyche (16 Psyche)
JUICE (Jupiter)
Hera (Dimorphos-Didymos)
Europa Clipper (Jupiter)
Let’s go. Our mission to explore Jupiter’s ocean moon Europa is ready to set sail today on a @SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket at 12:06pm ET (1606 UTC) from @NASAKennedy 🚀 https://t.co/x4XNEuvd7U
