Neutron's Stage 2 and Thrust Module are on a barge headed to Launch Complex 3. Real hardware, real progress. American space is back in a big way 🇺🇸🚀
It’s a beautiful day to set sail with the next pieces of Neutron flight hardware to Launch Complex 3.
Earlier today we sent Neutron’s Stage 2 and Thrust Module out of the Neutron Factory and onto a barge for transport through Chesapeake Bay to Wallops Island in Virginia.
Once it arrives, the Thrust Module will go straight onto the launch mount at LC-3 for check outs and the beginning of wider systems demonstrations including integrated fluids tests and module-to-launch-mount interface checkouts. With no strongback on the launch mount by design, Neutron’s Thrust Module is the rocket’s only physical interface to the launch pad, which this upcoming test campaign enables us to test early before the entire vehicle comes together.

I've been traveling the world a bit. One of the most incredible experiences was getting to visit Taiwan w/ @JensenHuang. It was wild 🤯.. huge crowds of engineers, insanely good street food at night markets, and of course a lot of good conversations across many days. I caught some of it on video, see below. Alright, that's it from me, love you all ❤️

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump SLAPS DOWN reports he might sell US military weapons to China
REPORTER: You suggested to Xi the US would sell US military equipment to China?
TRUMP: To CHINA? You mean to TAIWAN?
REPORTER: No, to China
TRUMP: I never heard of that one! We DO make better equipment than China...but we didn't discuss that.
We know from Iran and Venezuela that Chinese equipment is NOT all that they talk it up to be.
The US is the greatest in the world 🇺🇸
NEVER FORGET.
Over New York Harbor, 2,977 drones lit up the sky in the shape of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers — one drone for each victim of the September 11 attacks.
Never forget. 🇺🇸
VIA: @Drone_Wars_
“Never Forget” was quickly forgotten in New York.
Wake up, New York! Remember what it actually meant.
A quarter of a century has passed since September 11, 2001, when the peace of our Nation was shattered by terrorists.
Today, we remember the 2,977 precious lives taken from us, honor the heroes who answered the call, & keep their families in the heart of our Nation.
Above all, we must ensure the memory of 9/11 never fades, but is carried from one generation of Americans to the next.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Rocket Lab CEO @Peter_J_Beck on $RKLB investors
"You have the really well educated institutional investors and lots of mom and dads who invest."
"The one thing that surprised us was the retail group."
"They are incredibly well researched. Sometimes MORE well researched than the big institutions and analysts."

"If you look at the large space companies of today they have the ability to build a satellite, launch a satellite, and provide a service."
