This is a Yale education

@DanielleFong https://t.co/fiBciIkF11 getting there!

Water is the best source of fire in space

Here's a behind the scenes look at the work that's gone into this moment.

We test fire our space engines in El Segundo.

Sharing one of the coolest photos from @gengalactic last year. We went from clean sheet design to operating a next-generation Hall thruster in a vacuum chamber in 43 days!

This is a fully in-house design (not licensed) and among the first commercial thrusters intended for a wide variety of propellants.

And we've got several other major wins to share soon, but more on that later.

By far the hardest part of this was manufacturing. There are so few machinists that can work with ceramics and magnetics, even in LA.

We'll be vertically integrating a lot more of the manufacturing processes moving forward.

@gengalactic fixes this. No more waiting months to reach your target orbit.

[Caleb Henry @ChenrySpace]

Eight months from launch to service, some of these high-throughput satellites take a while to get running.

[Michael Adeyi @m_adeyi]

@ChenrySpace @gengalactic will fix this btw

[Michael Adeyi @m_adeyi]

@JackKuhr @itsmoislam @itsmoislam captured it well—there’s little incentive for a data center-focused SpaceX to launch commercial payloads on Starship. Not to mention the fact that most of these “built for Starship” sats can’t fit through the pez dispenser.

[Michael Adeyi @m_adeyi]

Also very glad the watch I bought myself after Terran 1 launch made the website. What to buy for this one 🤔

Putting our system in space this fall—excitement guaranteed. Tap in at https://t.co/mJhI1LWmvv to learn more

General Galactic, cofounded by a former SpaceX engineer, plans to test its water-based propellant this fall. If successful, it could help usher in a new era of space travel. That's a big “if.” https://t.co/5Geb8zSo3U

Hello Dragon @SpaceX

[Pierre Lionnet @LionnetPierre]

This article sparked a controversy with Charles Camarda, former astronaut and thermal expert attending the meeting. He replied on Linkedin. I have copied his response here for the sake of transparency, since he didn’t seem 100% in agreemeht with the article.

"hey man I know you're worried the trucking company might lay you off soon and you're behind on the mortgage, but Kalshi is offering 3 to 1 on 46,000+ trucker layoffs in Q1 so you might want to hedge that risk out"

[Michael Adeyi @m_adeyi]

@rhZhao Doesn't look like the side engines were lit though? Unless you mean recirculation on ascent or reentry burn that only caused issue during the landing burn?

@cwamidon Burden of proof in tech needs to be heavier than it has been the last ~5 years

@alexgraveley This is real first principles engineering

[Michael Adeyi @m_adeyi]

@TechSpatiales Je ne parle pas des cubesats, regardez plutôt des choses comme Mira. Je sais qu'il n'y a pas d'argument économique, autre que contribuer à l'expansion du secteur, mais SpaceX le fait quand même. C'est pour ça que j'ai dit “j’èspére”

[Michael Adeyi @m_adeyi]

@TechSpatiales Ouia, et un lancement de nuit est encore plus incroyable — Terran 1 était, à mon avis, la plus belle des fusées méthalox

[Michael Adeyi @m_adeyi]

@Alex_Hoganson Rahhhhhhh
