Say hi to Elasmotherium, the giant rhinoceros known as the ‘Siberian unicorn,’ which survived until at least 39,000 years ago”

That's a wrap on our latest checkouts for Neutron's reusable Hungry Hippo fairing ✅ The Hippo is now back inside its hangar where it will be integrated with Neutron's interstage once it arrives to the Eastern Shore.

Introducing our tech roadmap at @cosmic_robotics to start autonomous city construction on Mars in the mid-2030s. Our team includes senior talent from SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Zoox, Nuro, and Autodesk. We're already deploying robots on large-scale construction sites. Link to roadmap in the thread below:

Surviving the lunar night. Firefly is onboarding @zeno_power on an upcoming Blue Ghost mission to tackle one of the biggest challenges on the Moon: operating through the extreme cold and prolonged darkness of the lunar night. Hosted on our Blue Ghost lander, Zeno’s payload will demonstrate radioisotope and nuclear-powered technologies to extend operations beyond sunset when temperatures can fall below -280°F. fireflyspace.com/news/firefl…

Lighter CEO Vlad pushes back on the idea that everybody is going to become a trader "That's like saying, is everybody going to be a poker player? I think it is something you need skills for" "Does that mean everybody should be trading all day long? Probably not” “Just like how people shouldn't be at the casino all day long but greater access makes markets more efficient, creates opportunities"

Legendary investor Jeremy Grantham just torched SpaceX on 'Diary of a CEO', calling it a “fabulous BS story” that will fail to deliver on its wild prospectus promises — including mining asteroids. BARTLETT: “You think SpaceX will fail?” GRANTHAM: “I think it would fail to deliver anything like its promises in the perspectives. Yes, absolutely.” “SpaceX is such a fabulous BS story. Mining asteroids… It’s the classic description of a market peak. It’s what you look for at the top of a terrific bubble.” “He [Elon] is so good at BS that he took Tesla stock up to four or five times what it was worth on paper. Sold a ton at those inflated prices to build the gigafactory. It became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Now SpaceX requires him to do the same again.” “That’s what he says about the asteroids and everything. Going to Mars is not within the laws of physics. It’s a one-way ticket… You have to protect yourself against cosmic rays and gravity issues. We’ve never built a sustainable dome here on Earth — they all fail. We’re destroying this planet, yet we think we can colonize one that’s infinitely more hostile.” “That’s the really bad news embedded in your stock — pure fantasy at the exact time our own planet is under threat.” BARTLETT: “Would you ever invest in SpaceX?” GRANTHAM: “Yeah, of course… if it came down to 10 cents on the dollar.”

Continuous sunlight is scarce on the Moon unless you know where to look. 🌑 The lunar poles contain "peaks of eternal light," areas bathed in near-continuous sunlight. Power Tower mounts on Blue Moon MK1's top deck and extends solar arrays to 26 meters total height to capture that energy and deliver sustained power for Moon Base operations. Check out this video of Power Tower during a successful deployment in an analog lunar environment. The infrastructure era of lunar exploration starts now.
