So when you launch neutron from Virginia,are you going to compensate fisherman for interfering with our work

I can’t wait!

How much is Neutron’s payload to TMI?

I think rocket lab will copy this successful job globally.

Virginia is finally gonna get that Space Port it always wanted but didn't have anyone other than sounding rockets (almost) as customers. I think Neutron is somewhat more than a sounding rocket. Yay!

"I hope they forget all about Artemis II,” says astronaut Christina Koch. She hopes NASA’s upcoming Artemis II flight around the moon is overshadowed by future successes. “We talk about our legacy being enabling the future missions. And all the way from Artemis III to Artemis 100 to missions to Mars,” she says.

Elon Musk: It’s not just about visiting Mars. It’s about building a city on Mars. "I would like to go to Mars, that's nice to have, but what is important is that we establish a self-sustaining city on Mars. This is important for the long-term future of humanity or consciousness as we know it. So, it's less about a few people to Mars, but more about creating a self-sustaining city on Mars and humanity becoming a space-faring civilization, which I think is incredibly inspiring for the future." Axel Springer Pioneers Talk, 2020

Mars Express is an excellent animated movie that has not received the attention it deserves. Bravo to Jérémie Périn (Mars Express). Here's a space launch scene from Earth to Mars during the opening credits, with a smart title reveal:

Hey Canada, we have a spaceport! 🇨🇦🚀 NordSpace's beautiful Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX) is officially under construction outside the town of St. Lawrence, in Newfoundland and Labrador! With our first launch of a Canadian commercial rocket from a Canadian commercial spaceport set to take flight in the coming weeks, the future of a true sovereign capability for assured access to space has never looked so promising. We're thrilled to share footage of ASX's SLC-02 publicly for the first time. ASX will support NordSpace’s first commercial launch of our Taiga suborbital rocket with Taiga's launch window opening on August 25th 2025. Taiga is powered by the company’s proprietary 3D-printed Hadfield Mk III liquid rocket engine, and the mission is named "Getting Screeched In". The launch window is subject to road and power interruptions due to the ongoing state of emergency in Newfoundland and Labrador. This launch follows a series of successful tests, including a fully integrated rocket test and a month-long qualification campaign for the Hadfield Mk III engine. Both demonstrated rapid refurbishment capabilities and turnarounds between tests, paving the way for reusable and cost-effective launch operations from Canadian soil. ASX is designed to support our Tundra orbital launch vehicle and partner launch vehicles, facilitating a wide range of orbital and suborbital missions situated at a 46 degree latitude. The initial $10M phase of development for the Atlantic Spaceport Complex will feature two sites: 🚀 SLC-01 will feature two launch pads for orbital missions including NordSpace’s Tundra vehicle and international launch partners from the U.S. and Europe. 🚀 SLC-02 will consist of at least one smaller launch pad for suborbital missions, radar systems for vehicle tracking and space domain awareness, and other ground support equipment to enable all launch operations at the ASX. The ASX will also support NordSpace’s broader portfolio, including our SHARP (Supersonic and Hypersonic Applications Research Platform) program. NordSpace’s CEO and founder, Rahul Goel, said, “The start of construction at the Atlantic Spaceport Complex is a seminal moment for Canada. This is not just about building a launch site; it’s about building a future where Canada leads in space exploration, innovation, and security. The ASX is critical national infrastructure that will unlock assured access to space, ensuring our sovereignty and fostering economic growth for generations. We are committed to making the vision of a true sovereign end-to-end space missions capability a reality, and today’s groundbreaking is a testament to our team’s relentless dedication, speed, and capability.” We thank Government of Newfoundland & Labrador, Transport Canada, National Defence, Canadian Space Agency and NAV CANADA for their support.

SpaceX’s Louisiana Spaceport Could Be a Much Bigger Deal Than It Looks 🚀 Larry Goldberg thinks this could eventually become one of the biggest space bases in the world, and the reason is pretty simple: SpaceX is going to need a LOT more launch capacity. Future Moon and Mars missions could require multiple refueling launches for every spacecraft actually heading into deep space. That means more pads, more launches, and eventually a launch cadence that sounds crazy by today’s standards. So Louisiana isn’t just about launching more Starlink satellites. It’s about building enough infrastructure to make Moon and Mars missions routine instead of rare. $SPCX

Elon Musk on the real goal for Mars: “It’s not about just landing on Mars and doing flags and footprints. It’s about creating a self-sustaining city on Mars.” The most important moment in human history will be when Mars becomes truly self-sustaining - when it can grow and survive on its own, even if Earth stops sending ships If resupply from Earth is still required, then we haven’t created real life insurance for humanity When Mars becomes self-sustaining, the future of life as we know it will forever change
