There is some really fun CAD to do if you want a part-time in-semester internship or full time drafter role.
Anyone want to help me churn through a huge amount of CAD to-do's next week (maybe even a few weeks if you're having fun). Will pay $$$.
It was another amazing @OpenSauceLive ! What a fantastic event combining wonderful people, wonderful work, and a wonderful time.
It's that time of year! Come say hi if you're at @OpenSauceLive !

Our Spectre engines are breathing fire again at @agile_space's test facility! First used in space during our historic #BlueGhost Mission 1, these proven engines will power our next Blue Ghost mission to the far side of the Moon and future Elytra spacecraft missions.
It's Mix Day!

China has solved lunar night survival. I hope the US follows suite soon!

Reflect is picking up steam!
Reflect Orbital Selected for SBIR Phase II Contract by AFWERX to Advance Satellite-Based Sunlight Redirection Technology.
5 years ago we got to watch a concrete reminder that the dream was alive. Since then 68 humans have ventured into the heavens on Dragon 2. Our future lies above.
I made my @Tormach 1100MX coolant much easier to service, and then I machined an oxidizer dome! youtu.be/xARzhz_BSzw
I'm unreasonably proud of this pun.
Our team has been "reflecting" on how exciting these past few weeks have been! Want to reflect with us? We're hiring! reflectorbital.com/careers

The world is better with responsive, responsible light.
Reflect Orbital is light without limits: when and where you need it.
Reflect is going to change the world. The sun is the ultimate source of almost all energy on Earth, and Reflect is how we access more of that energy.
Announcing our $20M Series A led by @Lux_Capital with participation from @sequoia and @starship_vc. We truly couldn’t be building this with better partners. The sun will power ~everything until we outgrow this solar system, and we are taking the first practical steps to…
