2025 was about adapting to policies and the supply chain. 2026 will be about building fast and keeping things running. From batteries to nuclear fission, here are my 2026 predictions criticalloop.com/blog/2026-t… @critical_loop

We just raised $96M to build and deploy our microreactors. This round powers the work ahead — advancing our hardware, maturing our operations, and paving the way for our first reactor demonstration in 2026. Two years in: 60 people, three states, a 145,000-sq-ft facility, and contracts across DoW, NASA, and others. We’re moving fast. Come build with us. antaresindustries.com/update…

6 months in Huntsville → our first full-scale prototype built and tested. Full-scale components. Real temperatures. Real pressures. Real data shaping the reactor we’ll take critical in 2026.

Rocket booster relit twice (supersonic retro & landing), but spun up due to aero torque, so fuel centrifuged & we flamed out
