A lasting presence on the Moon starts with power. πβ‘
Redwire has been selected by @NASA to provide a Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA) solution for the agency's @NASAMoonBase lunar surface power demonstration program.
The selection comes just days after astronauts successfully installed and deployed the eighth and final Redwire built ROSA wing on the @Space_Station. Now, Lunar ROSA will bring that proven technology to the Moon, powering sustained operations on the lunar surface.
Backed by decades of space power experience, Redwire's integrated power generation system will begin to address a fundamental requirement for a sustainable presence on the Moon: dependable power where and when missions need it.

A step toward keeping Moon Base connected. NASA has selected @SpaceX for the Cislunar Communications Deployment Demonstration (C2D2). Targeted for 2028, the Starship mission will demonstrate launch and spacecraft deployment capabilities that could help inform future lunar communications networks connecting astronauts, mission controllers and Moon Base.

BREAKING: Blue Origin has delayed the return of its New Glenn rocket until January 2027, following a massive explosion that destroyed critical launch infrastructure earlier this year.
In an internal memo to employees (pictured), CEO Dave Limp confirmed the company is abandoning its previous goal of resuming launches before the end of 2026.
New Glenn has been grounded since May 28, when an explosion during engine testing severely damaged Blue Origin's only operational New Glenn launchpad at Cape Canaveral.
The company traced the failure to an oxygen valve on one of the rocket's BE-4 engines and has spent months rebuilding the pad and redesigning launch operations.
Despite restoring major sections of the launch complex, construction delays and severe weather have pushed the next flight into January.
The delay creates additional pressure on Blue Origin as it works to fulfill launch commitments for Amazon's satellite constellation and NASA's Artemis lunar program.
The new timeline was first reported by the Financial Times and confirmed by Reuters.

There is one contingency in which I wonβt reintroduce the articles of impeachment:
Hegseth resigns.
βRep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, the famously anti-Trump GOP lawmaker, told CNN he plans to trigger a vote to impeach Hegseth when Congress returns next week β and multiple GOP sources said they expect it to pass.β cnn.com/2026/11/04/politics/β¦

This wonβt happen. Space is on an all-time trajectory with Jared Isaacman at the helm at NASA. Aerospace is one hopeful industry in many states contending with AI layoffs.
Some may try, but access to space transcends politics β€οΈ
