The Genesis of hardware focused Venture Capital came from the partnerships between private capital, public universities, and Government agencies. It was born in the 1960's, fell out of favor in the 80's and is now reborn in the 21st century.

@SpaceX is the whole reason I became Space Case In 2020 SpaceX won a ~$1b federal subsidy to deploy service in rural America I was working at Comcast at the time and thought to myself: “oh sht, if Elon is coming into our industry I need to pay attention” So I started learning everything I could about SpaceX and the space industry. Conveniently all the space SPACs going public in 2021 provided tons of material for me to review! I quickly became obsessed with space - turns out the growth happening in the space industry was WAY more exciting than the 1-2% annual revenue growth of the cable industry 😂 So I started covering the space SPACs like an equity research analyst sharing my journey to better understand the business of space on Twitter, and the rest is history

Big tank. Big tests. Big milestone. Nova Stage 1 proto-qualification is complete. 46 structural objectives verified, plus key fluid systems, avionics, software, ground systems, and ops demos. (More detail in our linked blog post.) This is where new rockets often find the hard stuff; Nova (and the Stoke team) handled it. Our local partners at the @PORTOFMOSESLAKE , the Grant County Sheriff's Office and Public Works department, plus our vendor Norco made sure we had the support we needed every step of the way.

Sea level data shows signs that an El Niño will likely emerge later this year. The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, which measures the height of the entire ocean every 10 days, has detected higher, warmer water moving east across the Pacific Ocean. go.nasa.gov/4fLfjtO

Denver, Colorado as seen from the ISS. The Denver airport, one of the largest in the world, is the dark patch right of center. To the west, city lights are abruptly extinguished by the Rocky Mountains.

Congrats to Jai and the entire @AmcaInc team!
I'm excited to announce that @AmcaInc has raised a $300M Series B at a >$1B valuation, led by @CaffeinatedCap with major support from @LightspeedVP, @a16z, @Lux_Capital, and others. We're on a mission to reconstitute a supply chain that has too often put profit over country.

Engines racking up time on both test cells. Vehicle turned on and about to start testing...things are happening!
Testing is LIVE in Moses Lake, for both our Stage 1 structure and Zenith engines. Proud of the teams who are working relentlessly to drive us forward on the road to launch.🛣️🚀

Our Stage 1 structure is now shipped, delivered, and ready for testing in Moses Lake, WA. Standing in its full vertical orientation, this flight hardware will be thoroughly vetted before returning to Kent for some final touches before the journey to Cape Canaveral, FL begins.

New Lunar Terrain Vehicle Unlocked 🔓 Introducing the Lunar Outpost Pegasus LTV — purpose-built to provide Astronauts with safe, highly achievable mobility to lay the foundation for a permanent Moon Base. Pegasus is named after the winged horse of Greek mythology, a symbol associated with reach, capability, and prosperity; it is the trusted steed that will enable Artemis missions to go farther, operate longer, and explore more boldly than ever before. Designed to operate for at least one year on the Moon and traverse over 900 kilometers—100x the distance the Apollo-era LRV covered across all missions—Pegasus is ready to drive Artemis toward a Moon Base. #TheNextLeap #LunarOutpost #DrivingArtemis #SpaceTech #Innovation

And splashdown! America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon and bringing them home safely. Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy did an outstanding job. These talented astronauts inspired the world and represented their space agencies and nations as humanity’s ambassadors to the stars. This was a test mission, the first crewed flight of SLS and Orion, pushing farther into the unforgiving environment of space than ever before, and it carried real risk. They accepted that risk for all we stood to learn and for the exciting missions that follow, as we return to the lunar surface, build a Moon base, and prepare for what comes next. And they were not alone. The entire NASA workforce, our commercial and international partners, and the hopes and dreams of people all over the world were with them. The astronauts know it, and you should too. This mission would not have been possible without you. Congratulations. Artemis II, mission accomplished.

Big news: we just closed a $100M Series B. This funding will go toward building and operating our Otter missions, scaling to meet growing customer demand, and expanding our team. We've had a lot to celebrate lately, from missions like Remora and Otter Pup 2 to new contracts with great customers like SDA and the Space Force. And we're just getting started. Our first full Otter mission is on track to fly later this year. Read our full press release: starfishspace.com/press-rele… We’d like to thank our investors for helping us build the future of infrastructure in space. @p72vc, @ShieldCapVC, @IndustriousVC, @nightdragon
