So proud of what our team of then 25 accomplished, building basically all of Ray in house so quickly, and for a BOM cost of well under $1M! We’re now over 50 people and have only increased our speed per person. Arc is coming to market quicker than any comparable system has…

Arc is shaping up to be a truly incredible product. Major unveil event happening later this summer.

Re-entry is such a diverse category of products. Re-entry is more analogous to flight than it is to launch in it's variety of use cases.

Ya know when you put your phone down and walk away from it but have your AirPods in. Apple should use spacial audio to direct you to it

Does outlook have a way to put emails from important people at the top of your inbox by default so you never miss them?

There are a lot of non-obvious places we have to reindustrialize. Parachutes are one of them.

The mad lads at Sandia actually did this in the 60s! "Shapes may autorotate during free-flight reentry to earth impact. To understand this phenomenon, analytical and experimental studies were made on some simple shapes (flat plates, cylinders, etc.) under subsonic and…

Some really exciting progress these past few weeks on delivery from space

We need a Yellowstone but for manufacturing in the USA

Space is amazing at providing low-cost access to the whole globe. Starlink is but one example. Soon cargo & equipment will have the same luxury

Standing on shoulders

So much fun with @InversionSpace at the Summer Space Games!

Something interesting about reentry vehicles is depending on the direction they, the rotation of earths atmosphere can have a big impact on their trajectory. At the equator it is moving ~1000 mph!! This is not the effect of winds. Completely “still” air is still moving relative…

I wonder how much fuel savings for airlines could come from localized AI wind models paired with an advanced autopilot to fly in the most favorable areas.

Cork (yes like the thing in your wine bottle) is a surprising TPS material

Thermal protection System (TPS) materials are such an interesting field for re-entry vehicles. There has been a ton of innovation in the last 20 years that is truly enabling new mission. What may be surprising to people on here; nearly all of that innovation happened at NASA…

Still wild to me that the soviet designed RD-180 is still in use within the US. I’ve got to imagine ULA spends tons of money just maintaining the tools and people to fly these last couple Altas V flights.

Why doesn’t Trader Joe’s make a bag that works without a second bag?

This is all showing just how important being able to replenish interceptors (and strike weapons) is. Domestic high rate production is now the equivalent of having the farms inside the castle walls during a medieval siege.
