We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy. Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead. There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems. We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes. @NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible. America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

The implications of New Glenn’s failure are probably worse than you think. I dig in here to some of the most serious concerns. arstechnica.com/space/2026/0…

Big Tech CapEx has reached unprecedented levels: The combined CapEx of Amazon, $AMZN, Google, $GOOG, Meta, $META, and Microsoft, $MSFT, is expected to surge 98% YoY, to a record $715 billion in 2026. This is nearly 3 TIMES the amount spent in 2024 and more than 5 TIMES 2023 levels. Amazon now expects CapEx to approach a record $200 billion this year. This is followed by Google and Microsoft which are both guiding $190 billion in CapEx for 2026. Meta has also raised its expectations by $10 billion to $125-$145 billion. To put this differently, each company is projected to spend nearly as much in 2026 as they did in the previous 2 years combined, or more. The AI Revolution is set to accelerate.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

Considering this is real time, this is not a "high torque" vehicle. Takes forever to get off the pad.

I used to live on the Cape and watched the pad get built off my balcony. I can only imagine the roar that was felt from this, and sorry I missed that. Great job #blueorigin

New Glenn safely reached its intended orbit during today's NG-1 mission, accomplishing our primary objective. The second stage is in its final orbit following two successful burns of the BE-3U engines. The Blue Ring Pathfinder is receiving data and performing well. We lost the booster during descent. We knew landing the first stage on the first try was ambitious. We'll learn, refine, and apply that knowledge to our next launch in the spring. We're thrilled with today's outcome.

We did it! Orbital. Great night for Team Blue. On to spring and trying again on the landing. (Here is another view!)
