SpaceX's Starship rocket just performed a flip maneuver and precisely splashed down on target in the Indian Ocean next to a few buoys with @Starlink on them. The softest splashdown we've seen yet.
SpaceX employees ended the stream chanting "USA! USA! USA!"๐บ๐ธ

The ESCAPADE twins snapped these stunning shots of Earth (left) and the Moon (right) from 363,000+ miles out, capturing both visible and thermal infrared light.
@JacobKeeton20 Really sorry to hear this happened for you, I've always appreciated your input and genuine vibe here on X. Like others have said I'm sure you'll bounce back, just take it day by day and know that a lot of people here care about you.
BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10 are now fully deployed to their full size, each the world's largest communications arrays operating in Low Earth Orbit.
We invented a new way to design, manufacture at scale, deploy, and fly lightweight composite stackable architecture combined, with the world's largest and most advanced direct- to-device and radar phased-array with the ability to launch them in groups of 3, 5, 6, or 8 on a single launch.
Our BlueBird platform brings together high-performance space-based cellular broadband with peak data rates approaching 200 Mbps, space AI edge computing, and many mission-critical government applications, all on one platform where the largest-ever size matters!
BlueBirds 11, 12 and 13 are already at the Cape preparing for their imminent launch. BlueBirds 14, 15 and 16 are right behind them. Production has already moved through satellite 42.
All of this is happening in Texas. ๐ค ๐บ๐ธ๐ถ๐๐ฑ

ROCKET LAB WINS A $266 MILLION U.S. AIR FORCE CONTRACT.
- Launches will take place in Alaska
- Expected to be completed by end of 2028
- Adds to the streak of winning more defense contracts
Rocketlab has always traded at a premium but this company continues to seriously execute and quite frankly they diluted at $130 which was a VERY smart move, but I do think the decline from $150 to $60 is a bit aggressive and hopefully we've seen the worst of it as the stock bottomed around the $58 range back in March as well.
Neutron and the Golden Dome are still future catalysts that are very important for this company. Iridium acquisition also helps them seriously compete in the connectivity business long term.
$RKLB +4%
BlueBirds 9 and 10 are now successfully deployed in orbit.
Two more of the world's largest commercial communications arrays have joined our growing constellation. Another step closer to the future of cellular broadband from space.
With BlueBirds 11, 12, and 13 at Cape Canaveral preparing for their imminent launch, and production advancing through spacecraft 41, we continue to execute at scale.
Innovation in orbit. Execution in motion. ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐บ๐ธ

Nebius turns two today!
Our team has grown to more than 1,800 people across 70+ nationalities.
To every person who's been part of building this - thank you.
Whatโs your favorite Nebius moment so far? Share it with us in the comments below.
Built Differently.
Engineering at scale unfolded in orbit.
This is cellular broadband from space.
BlueBird 10 has successfully deployed in low Earth orbit. Adding another of the world's largest communications array - the size of a tennis court - to our growing constellation.
BlueBirds 8 and 9 are next.
Engineered for broadband connectivity to everyday smartphones. No special hardware. No modifications. Cellular broadband from space. ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐บ๐ธ

$ASTS partner Bell Canada has completed its first sovereign direct-to-device satellite ground station and begun testing it with the AST SpaceMobile constellation.
The milestone advances the infrastructure needed to launch satellite-to-phone service across Canada.
"FIFA are telling you to not believe what you've seen because they've got something else instead...are we stupid now?"
