- @stoke_space is perhaps one of the most exciting rocket companies and is one of only a few companies actually building hardware for a fully reusable rocket featuring a super unique aerospike-ish powered actively cooled upper stage, and they’re ALSO building the coveted full flow staged combustion cycle for their main engines on their reusable booster!
I caught up with their CEO @AndyLapsa who gave us a rundown on their incredible rocket called NOVA and we saw some new hardware that has the possibility to truly disrupt the rocket launch industry.

After troubleshooting communications, flight controllers have confirmed Odysseus is upright and starting to send data.
Right now, we are working to downlink the first images from the lunar surface.
The treatment forms a thin layer of ultra-fine metal grains from the surface down to about 200 micrometers into the material. This grants G-T91 a yield strength of 700 megapascals, a 36% improvement over untreated T-91, plasticity that was 50% better lnkd.in/gQXFiqZf
“So how did the researchers achieve a more efficient and quicker boiling process? By adding a series of microscale cavities, or dents, to a surface, controlling the way bubbles form on that surface. This kept the bubbles effectively pinned to the location lnkd.in/gpipHKFj
Engineers who write, propose, sell, manage, and lead can all benefit from playing with and utilizing the latest chatbots. What’s the coolest or most interesting thing you’ve asked it? lnkd.in/gzxRAfYV
Congratulations Relativity Space!
Beautiful photography, thanks in part to methane propellant.

This is beautiful! It’s incredible that satellites can capture this to allows us to observe. lnkd.in/gw7di9XA
“…you're now distributing the vortices that are being generated by the propeller across the whole shape of it, instead of just at the tip," lnkd.in/geJUi8Cy
Cool video, nice progress. lnkd.in/gu9XJxqg
“At 919 feet (280 meters), it’s also the world’s tallest wind turbine. A single Vestas V236-15.0MW is capable of producing 80 GWh per year.” flip.it/S2herE
“The propeller design team observed a 15 percent increase in static thrust with the new propeller when compared to the five-bladed propellers.”

At the molecular level, talin has a structure that unfolds under tension to dissipate energy and then fold back up again afterwards…

As a Texas High School QB in late 1980s, I received a lot of unsportsmanlike helmet-to-helmet shots to my head that resulted in concussions. I wish I would have had gear from Kollide Team back then to better protect me. Look at this awesome product and…lnkd.in/e4bPz2CY
