New paper: “Safely advancing a spacefaring humanity with artificial intelligence”, written by our Directors @GZilgalvis and @BartuKaleagasi in collaboration with researchers from @CSERCambridge @Cambridge_Uni, was just published in @FrontiersIn https://t.co/tFIQW3fnAc

SpaceX merges with xAI ahead of IPO
SpaceX buys option to acquire Cursor
SpaceX sells AI compute to Anthropic
SpaceX makes AI chips with Terafab
SpaceX builds orbital data centers

Space is becoming AI infrastructure. AI is becoming the economic engine of space: energy & compute

[Bartu Kaleagasi @BartuKaleagasi]

Orbital depots for the deployment of assets to Earth (@InversionSpace) and within space (@GraviticsInc) are going to be such an interesting driver of space industrialization

Blue Origin has entered the space race

Good morning, Earth

Singapore launches its National Space Agency! Prime Minister @LawrenceWongST: "While Singapore may not have launch sites... space technology can help overcome our constraints by improving connectivity, and strengthening climate monitoring and disaster response."

The European Service Module, designed by @esa and manufactured by @airbus, will propel the Artemis II astronauts around the Moon and back – starting with the translunar injection (TLI) in 3 hours from now!

[Bartu Kaleagasi @BartuKaleagasi]

We are going back to the Moon! As NASA's Artemis II mission launches four astronauts to the Moon for the first time in over 50 years, I am more excited than ever before about American innovation and humanity's future in space. From mega-rockets like Starship, to Earth observation satellites, commercial space stations, in-space manufacturing, space solar power, orbital data centers, and lunar settlement... we are now in the second Space Age. And this is just the beginning.

🏭🛰️ We wrote a plan to cut red tape and scale up in-space manufacturing

We traveled to Australia and conducted in-depth interviews with in-space manufacturing startups like @VardaSpace, regulators like the ASA, and spaceport operators like @SouthernLaunch to write this report:

Last week, I had the great pleasure of returning to Oxford to teach two classes for the Oxford MBA – one on the Space Economy and Governance, and another on Commercial Space Stations. In my lectures at @OxfordSBS, I shared some of our research and perspectives from @SpaceGovern.

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

A first step for the EU’s internal market for space, a giant leap for generations to come.

The Space Act we are putting forward today supports the growth of space activities and safeguards EU strategic interests in orbit.

For a fairer and more sustainable use of space ↓

It was awesome to meet @WillBruey and Lloyd Damp in person and see W-2 back from space in Melbourne. Congrats @VardaSpace and @SouthernLaunch!

I had a beautiful experience attending Vision Weekend 2025 in Puerto Rico as a Fellow at the @foresightinst! We had the opportunity to discuss the future of AI, longevity & biotech, energy, and space. Thank you to the Foresight team for organizing this community 🌴🚀

[Foresight Institute @foresightinst]

Connect with Foresight Fellows at Vision Weekend Puerto Rico, Feb 21-23 2025. Meet these innovators building beneficial futures through breakthrough technologies. https://t.co/sxZrn66LJI

[Foresight Institute @foresightinst]

@BartuKaleagasi @SpaceGovern discusses the future of commercial space stations post-ISS. Watch his analysis of upcoming platforms from @Axiom_Space, @Starlab_Space, and @blueorigin's Orbital Reef at our Space Futures & Governance Workshop. Watch: https://t.co/ytvkll3QmT

[Bartu Kaleagasi @BartuKaleagasi]

The ability to launch and return the world's most powerful rocket is a SUPER impressive engineering achievement. Congratulations to everyone at @SpaceX for building the future of spaceflight. Starship will land humans on the Moon and Mars in the next decade!

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster!

[Bartu Kaleagasi @BartuKaleagasi]

I had a great time talking about commercial space stations at the @ForesightInst Space Workshop in San Francisco! Thank you to @allisondman and @openlunar for inviting @SpaceGovern and bringing together the technology, policy, and futurist communities 🛰️
