That’s no moon, it’s home 🌎
Captured by ForgeStar®-1, this is the view from orbit, where manufacturing changes. On Earth, gravity strikes back. In space, balance brings better materials.
Happy #StarWarsDay - May the Forge be with you!
P.S. Find the hidden surprises 👀

Greetings from ForgeStar®-1, currently orbiting overhead & enjoying the view.
These shots were captured by the Space Forge team (with a little help from a @SkyFoxLabs camera), proving that engineers have a decent eye for photography too. Happy #EarthDay2026 from orbit.

In microgravity, semiconductor crystals can grow more uniformly, with far fewer defects than on Earth.
That means better-performing chips for 5G, EVs and AI & potentially far lower energy use.
