@lorengrush.bsky.socialI've been falling down the rabbit hole of home automation over the last year, so I'm slightly geeked about this
@lorengrush.bsky.socialInvestment in the space economy is expected to exceed $100 billion this year for the first time, according to a new analysis from Space Capital www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
@planet4589.bsky.socialReposted by @lorengrush.bsky.socialMargaret Hamilton has died. Absolute legend, it was my honour to meet her and have a conversation with her just a few years ago, super nice and still sharp. Ave atque vale Margaret. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...
@lorengrush.bsky.socialHave you been missing the moon joy from Artemis II? Here's a nice little reminder thanks to a NASA release of the science and data from the flight science.nasa.gov/feature/arte...
@lorengrush.bsky.socialGot to chat w/ NASA's Carlos García-Galán about Phase Two of the moon base and how the agency is going to get a whole bunch of equipment to the lunar surface. NASA is close to announcing block buys of rockets and is aware of the coming SpaceX Falcon "issue." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
@lorengrush.bsky.socialSpaceX's Crew-13 flight is on deck to fly to the ISS this morning. Tracking no issues, but the weather situation is "dynamic" www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZiU...
@lorengrush.bsky.socialIt's not a Starship flight without a little drama. At first, it seemed like SpaceX might call off orbit insertion after an engine cut out. But the team pressed on and successfully inserted 26 Starlink V3s in orbit www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
@lorengrush.bsky.socialIt's almost time to see if Starship can go to orbit after all these years. SpaceX now targeting 7:46AM CT for liftoff www.spacex.com/launches/sta...
@lorengrush.bsky.socialNASA is awarding SpaceX three more Crew Dragon mission to continue sending astronauts to the International Space Station through 2030 www.nasa.gov/missions/sta...
@lorengrush.bsky.socialWow, that sounds like it was very...tense
@lorengrush.bsky.socialLaunching more satellites on Starship stands to provide more immediate revenue, which should make investors of the newly public company happy. But there's still plenty of work to be done to turn Starship into a lunar lander for NASA. How SpaceX balances those priorities will be interesting to watch.
@lorengrush.bsky.socialThe next SpaceX Starship launch will be a big milestone. It will launch to orbit for the first time and attempt to deploy upgraded Starlink satellites that will generate revenue. Once that happens, though, Starship launches become something of a balancing act www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
@lorengrush.bsky.socialSomeone needs to check on Rocket Lab
@lorengrush.bsky.socialNASA has awarded Blue Origin a $700 million contract to build the new Mars telecomm network, which stemmed from language included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act www.nasa.gov/news-release...
@lorengrush.bsky.socialA Starship timeline is shifting? Color me shocked (previously Musk said they'd try to catch Starship on the next flight which was targeted for the end of this month)
@lorengrush.bsky.socialUm OKAY. Breathtaking photos from the Artemis II crew's lunar flyby and eclipse viewing
