BIG thanks to @JPBrebner and @southpkcommons for hosting Longshot CTO @natosaichek. We chatted about space guns, orbital economics, the future of launch, and a few things we can't quite talk about yet... Stay tuned. 👀🚀

SF Deep Tech Week starts in less than two weeks. There is 70 events on the calendar and the world's leading founders, everything from Fusion energy, Manufacturing, Defense, and the CEO's of publicly traded companies. Folks like @aphysicist building the future of manufacturing @bscholl creating next-generation supersonic jets @TheaEnergy presenting Helios, their first-generation stellarator fusion plant @EdwardMehr deploying high mix reconfigurable manufacturing @jimbelosic gigascaling fast turnaround parts production @jordannoone with AI accelerated CAD and CAM @intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, I mean, its the CEO of intel @LongshotSpace building space cannons to LEO @tybernstein deploying nuclear batteries for land, sea and space and chief scientist of Pacific Fusion Will Regan, who's raised $950 million to commercialize magnetized target fusion If you want to see the future being built today, come to SF for June 22nd-26th Everything is free to attend.

Shout out to our newest group of interns! Welcome to the talented, ambitious, delightfully chaotic world of Longshot. @CollegeAlameda @SJSU #Engineering #Aerospace #Internships #SpaceTech #Longshot #Alameda

Engineers at MIT have successfully tested a hybrid propulsion system for small satellites that combines the raw punch of chemical rockets with the lo… newatlas.com/space-systems/m…

Allow us to introduce you to... Glowrider. Our hypersonic glide vehicle demonstrator. Traditional #rockets are roughly 5% payload. Longshot's system targets 50%. That's potentially 10x the payload at a fraction of today's cost. #hypersonic #launch youtube.com/watch?v=CaGzJILJ…

Let’s zoom out. @SpaceX proved #rockets can scale. Longshot is asking what comes after rockets. This is bigger than payloads or launch costs. It’s about access. A future where humanity is integrated with the #solarsystem instead of trapped on one planet. youtube.com/watch?v=yeyZf-D7…

Electromagnetic rail launchers & gas guns (e.g. @LongshotSpace) Clever ways to hurl consumables and propellants into orbit at Mach 5 . Cheap for bulk cargo, useless for humans or delicate satellites. A nice bridge until we scale better systems.

Big things happening behind the scenes! Our latest site visit brought us one step closer to finding the right home for Longshot’s next generation of prototypes. Huge thanks to @dweekly for flying us out. 🌎✈️ Where will Longshot land next?

Gotta love those who want to make sci-fi a reality. @LongshotSpace is building the world's biggest gun to shoot stuff into space. Make us Inyalowda proud! Thanks for the tour, Nato! @natosaichek @ChrisMay57

Team Spotlight: Peter McEvoy 🚀 Peter helped bring our 9-foot Glide Vehicle to life for @DraperVC's investor event last week. From welding to design to problem-solving, he’s helping make space more accessible. youtube.com/watch?v=pTuyiWuP…

Honored to join @TimDraper and @DraperVC at their investor event this week. Take a look at the 9-foot Glide Vehicle we showcased. #Longshot #SpaceLaunch

Yes. More of this! @adityaag

Thanks to @alamedapost for the feature on Longshot 🚀 A “space gun” for launching satellites might sound wild, but we’re serious about rethinking access to space. alamedapost.com/news/alameda…

Check out our very own Mark Bigham, VP of Defense, on @FoxNews: foxnews.com/politics/us-fall… The #hypersonic race is heating up, and the U.S. is playing catch-up. Delays slow deployment are handing China & Russia a real edge.

It was great fun to talk minus one to @LongshotSpace gun Thanks for joining us at @southpkcommons @natosaichek!

"-1 to Longshot Space with Nato Saichek" at South Park Commons. Cool talk with Nato Saichek, Co-founder & CTO of Longshot Space Technologies. "Aerospace startup building a giant pneumatic cannon to shoot satellites into orbit: no rockets, no combustion, just compressed air and physics." #spacetech #startups #aerospace #venturecapital #founders

Meet the team building the giant space gun. This week's spotlight journey: Medieval Germany → #Airbus → #BayArea → #Longshot Marius Mayer. Started as an intern and never left. 🎥 Watch his story: youtube.com/watch?v=zRg09Uod…

History.made.

Fun! We love being part of the #alameda community.

Two founders met at a Silicon Valley commune and decided to build a giant space gun. The prototype already hits Mach 4.2. CTO @natosaichek is coming by @southpkcommons to tell us about @LongshotSpace on April 15th.
