PCBs made in America. Twice as fast as Shenzhen.
Today @CircuitHub is unveiling The Grid, our factory-scale robot in Massachusetts that builds circuit boards on demand.
No changeovers, no per-design setup. Prototypes and production batches, fully automated.

Ukrainian tactical ballistic missile. FP-7. First combat use. Thank you for the result. Next up: production. Glory to Ukraine!

Today, Pioneer Labs is announcing our first step towards terraforming Mars. 🚀🌼
With equipment that fits in just a single rocket launch, we can convert Martian dirt, water, and air into enough building materials to construct a small city on Mars.
To do it, we made the first microbe for Mars. We found the best microbe on Earth and used evolution to teach it how to source all of its nutrients directly from Martian materials.
The first astronauts will be greeted with safe shelter already filled with water, oxygen, and rocket fuel for the return journey.
This is the first step toward using biology to make Mars a friendly place for life. It lets us live off the land and helps us build the next great frontier.
It's the first of five organisms we need to green Mars ⬇️

My best friend; many of you know as Zach/ThrustWR, released the best introductory video to Ballistic Missile Defense that I've ever come across.
I can attest to the devotion and effort put into making what become such a well researched project.
Watch!!!

Today, Stoke announced a $1 billion Series E, bringing our total capital raised to $2.3 billion.
This funding will help us bring Nova Pathfinder to flight, accelerate development of our larger 15-ton-class Nova Block 2 vehicle, and build the production capacity required to fly at scale.
This milestone reflects years of extraordinary work by the Stoke team and the conviction of customers and investors who share our belief that fully reusable space transportation is both possible and necessary.
We are deeply grateful for their trust, and more energized than ever by the work ahead.

We’re in orbit! And just made European history: This is the first time a privately developed rocket reached orbit from continental Europe; and a testament to the dedication, expertise, and teamwork of everyone involved.

ACQUISITION OF SIGNAL CONFIRMED! 🎉🛰️
#BepiColombo telemetry shows the Mercury Transfer Module has successfully separated from the spacecraft stack! ✅
First step of Mercury arrival phase - complete! 👏
Next stop: Mercury orbit insertion for MPO and Mio in November!

Star trails from the ISS! Lots of cool physics to see in these. Stars moving as thin lines in the direction of our orbital path but forming arcs to the left of our velocity vector. Lightning flashes making purple spots into the time history. City lights streak by. A faint red glow is seen as part of our upper atmosphere. Surreal!

DYK the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope got an unexpected boost in 2012, when @NRO_gov gifted NASA two unused spy telescope mirrors?
One of these mirrors was repurposed for Roman, enabling a wider field of view for its exploration of dark energy, exoplanets, and astrophysics.

Satellite imagery shows the slip scar from a glacier on the northern slope of Langtang Lirung, which collapsed & caused the Bhote Koshi–Trishuli Outburst Flood in Nepal and Tibet yesterday.
A whole side of the mountain fell off and snowballed into the massive downstream tragedy.
