SpaceX told the FAA it wants 10,000 launches a year.
Musk overnight: that's just Starbase Louisiana.
• SpaceX says FAA air traffic systems are outdated
• Pitches launch corridors + its Cleared tool
• Louisiana site: ~$100B, first launch targeted 2029

Update:
Holosun emailed me a pre-paid shipping label.
I put it in a box and shipped it to them.
They never asked any questions and a few days later I got a tracking code for the refurbished unit they were sending me to replace it.
Holosun warranty experience 👍👍
Shot my Holosun SCS Carry this morning when it started raining.
I thought the whole point of an enclosed emitter optic was to keep the water out?
Anyone know how to get the water droplets out or do I have to see if @HolosunJP will cover it under warranty?
Rocket Lab's SDA satellite line is busy 🛰️
8 of 18 Tranche 2 satellites are now on the factory floor, and SDA leaders stopped by to see them.
• Solar panels, star trackers, radios and software all built in-house
• Production is moving while Neutron is delayed

Members of @SemperCitiusSDA's Tranche 2 leadership team were recently at Rocket Lab's California headquarters to see T2TL-Beta in production.
Eight of 18 spacecraft are on the floor right now, in build.
Solar panels, structures, star trackers, reaction wheels, radios, flight software, avionics, launch dispenser — all built in-house.
Proliferated architectures demand production at scale. Rocket Lab is all in on SDA's mission, and the action on our floor proves it. We're proud to be delivering this.
Rocket Lab just added a familiar face 🚀
• Madison Malone, the business journalist who interviewed Peter Beck and the Neutron team, says she's joined Rocket Lab
• She hosted Business with Madison, and before that Markets with Madison at NZ Herald

UPDATE: I’ve joined the team at @RocketLab 🚀
Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the future of space. Excited to share more about this special company alongside people I admire.
@MoreMorganB @muriellebaker @THEJimmy_Hex @cameronnehrer (& Matt McKinney who isn’t on here).
LFG.
Rocket Lab shipped Neutron's Stage 2 and Thrust Module by barge to Launch Complex 3 at Wallops Island, VA. The Thrust Module goes straight onto the launch mount for fluids and interface tests, and Stage 2 gets its Archimedes engine there. First launch is still 2027. $RKLB

We have completed breakover operations for the Neutron Stage 2 tank assembly, rotating the stage horizontal – a critical step in the handling of large rocket sections for integration and assembly.
Here’s a last look at Stage 2 on the Neutron Factory floor before it’s wrapped up (literally) for barge shipment to LC-3 on Wallops Island where its fluid systems will be tested and its Archimedes vacuum engine installed.
First pair of @ORIGINBJJ sneakers came today.
Super comfortable from the start.
Going to start wearing them to work and see how they hold up.
Still wish they would put a sticker in the box...

100% mission success, owlright, owlright, owlright
Electron launches for the 97th time and deploys the latest StriX satellite to space for @synspective from Launch Complex 1.
Highlights from today's mission:
✅Launched on 1st attempt
✅18th mission of the year
✅13th launch for Synspective with 100% mission success
In the age of Hypersonic missiles, how many billions do you think our government will pay for the Space-Based Airborne Moving Target Indicator?
$RKLB
Kickoff complete! Our team recently wrapped up a successful program kickoff for the Space-Based Airborne Moving Target Indicator (SB-AMTI) demonstrations in support of @USSpaceForce.
We’re delivering Flatellites with innovative space-based sensing technologies to help mature resilient capabilities for the Joint Force.

Acquiring @IridiumComm will be one of the most transformative deals in the space industry, making Rocket Lab a fully-integrated, self-launching, tier-1 space power that delivers critical communications capability to millions of users worldwide.
Rocket Lab CEO @Peter_J_Beck breaks the entire space industry into 3 simple layers, from rockets to the services we use every day:
"I probably shouldn't have called it Rocket Lab. I should have called it Space Lab. The rocket always steals the show because it's this big roaring stick in the sky."
"Rockets, that's about a $10 or $20 billion industry. Spacecraft, the tools in space to provide services, 20 to $30 billion. And then the reason why you do all of those things are applications in space."
"Space is kinda weird that it's hidden infrastructure. You don't drive past it every day, so you don't see it. But everybody interfaces with space every single day, whether you realize it or not."
"We build rockets, we build satellites, and with our acquisition of Iridium, we're also a services company from space."
@RocketLab
Having a proven track record is one of the most valuable things to look for in a space company.
The biggest reason I invest in $RKLB & $SPCX
Everyone obsess over technical superiority; who has the better rocket, satellite, component, etc...
But the real moat in Space is cadence and capacity:
Proving that something works is one thing.
But building it and launching it at scale, and reliably, is another.
Rocket Lab and SpaceX understand what it takes to scale.
