This is a great read on the new contract.
$RKLB 🚨@RocketLab just won a $266M Air Force contract, and there’s some dots here worth connecting:
⚪️12 suborbital launches (plus 6 optional) at a fixed price, flying out of the Kodiak, Alaska spaceport; not their usual Wallops Virginia site. Deadline: end of 2028.
⚪️In February, Congress's defense spending bill set aside up to $45.5M to upgrade that exact spaceport. Alaska Aerospace (the state-owned operator) is also building a 1,100-mile test range from Kodiak into the Aleutian Islands, and landed a $28M Army contract in January to run missile facilities there. The government is clearly investing heavily in this location.
⚪️Rocket Lab's past suborbital launches were bought by Navy and Pentagon hypersonic testing programs. This contract came from the Space Force. A new buyer usually means a new mission.
➡️➡️➡️Inference once you connect the dots…these launches are for hypersonic test vehicles likely flown as tracking and intercept targets for Golden Dome 🚨.
The Space Force buyer✅, Kodiak's history launching missile defense targets✅, the 2028 deadline✅, and the simultaneous buildout of the Alaska range ✅all point the same direction.
If that's right, the $266M isn't a regular contract…it's Rocket Lab potentially getting positioned inside a much bigger multi-year defense program.

Great company!
Another catalyst for RKLB.
The Space Force called, and we launched. From call up to lift-off in just 16 hours 42 minutes 🎯 Rocket Lab has made history - the fastest response time ever for a @USSF_SSC Tactically Responsive Space mission.

The static fire sequence intro, speed tracked drone shots from the pad, lighting revealing the heat shield tile mosaic, transitioning to raw audio from the manufacturing floor. The shot of mission control shaking. UGH ABSOLUTE CINEMA
Was this made solely by @SpaceX ‘s internal team?? Would love to know
You are no prepared for what is coming with AI.
My Father was an Offset Printer when I was growing up. He was an absolute artist when it came to his work. Most of you don't know what good stationary, letterhead envelopes used to look like. What you have today is garbage.
The whole industry was pretty much wiped out by desktop publishing. When I was growing up, we were cutting edge. We had a computer that was 5 feet wide and 12 feet long for graphic design and typesetting.
My Dad had 3 printing shops in the Pittsburgh area and employed some 30 people when I was in the 3rd grade. By the early 2000s, it was just my Dad, doing small jobs in the basement. He had pretty much lost everything.
I watched my family slide from upper middle class to being at the poverty level.
I work with AI everyday. If you have a job sitting in an airconditioned office, it can do your job.
My Dad's art was replaced with low quality ink jet printers and cheap desktop publishing. Your office job is going to get wacked by an AI agent that never calls in sick, works faster than you, and does a better job.
This should be bipartisan no matter what anyone’s politics are.
"Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran National Woman’s Soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed. Don’t do it, Mr. Prime Minister, give ASYLUM. The U.S. will take them if you won’t..." - @POTUS
I hope they get to go home someday to a free Iran where they can live life in peace.
به اطلاع هممیهنان و رسانهها میرسانیم که پنج بازیکن تیم ملی فوتبال زنان ایران به نامهای فاطمه پسندیده، زهرا قنبری، زهرا سربالی، عاطفه رمضانیزاده، و مونا حمودی موفق شدند با ترک اردوی تیم به کشور استرالیا پناهنده شوند. این پنج ورزشکار که هماکنون در مکانی امن هستند، پیوستن خود به انقلاب ملی شیروخورشید ایران را اعلام کردهاند.
One of the best things I have done for my 4th Grader was to hand him a book and give him a page count requirement before he even thinks about touching technology. He is already on his 5th book in 2026.
Ironically, when he sits down to do homework, the assigned work looks like a video game and sounds like a casino. Its like the education industry is working against them at this point.
📢 AI leveled up AGAIN- it is about to leave most schools in the dust.
This can be a massive WIN for parents, kids, and society.
✅Deeper learning in fewer hours
✅Reduced harmful screen time
Savvy homeschool families can be miles ahead and crushing the cutting edge. Private schools should be talking with the Co-Ops to figure out what is working.
Public Schools? They are going to be stuck years behind and likely fleeced on tax dollars trying to catch up.😒
Parents in public schools, take the time to figure this out. Education is about to drastically separate between those who have access and those who do not.
🇺🇸📢US SOCCER IS SLEEPING ON THE REAL FIX!
We NEED to stop everything and focus on SMALL-SIDED FUTSAL right now.
Build TENS OF THOUSANDS of basketball-court-sized FUTSAL pitches across the country — parks, schools, neighborhoods, everywhere.
That’s where American kids will finally develop elite foot skills under constant tight-space pressure.
Make this the foundation from ages 5-14 and watch the next USMNT generation actually cook in tight areas. Who’s ready to push this? USSF — are you listening? Drop a ⚽️ if you agree! #USMNT #Futsal #YouthSoccer #PlayerDevelopment #USSF

For keepers, there is an imaginary line you should be standing on
The line is between the ball and the center of the goal line.
This video illustrates it well.

Emma Sears volley practice… When she gets that first volley goal for club or country, we’ll know why 😏🚀
