We've built a full-scale deployable aerobrake unit showcasing technology that uses planetary atmospheres to slow spacecraft, saving significant mass and cost and enabling heavy cargo delivery from the Moon, to Mars, and point-to-point missions on Earth. Lighter and larger than conventional aeroshells, it deploys in space and stows for... show more

It’s not just docking, it’s a deep space lunar tango, 240,000 miles from Earth. 💃🕺 NASA's Orion uses LiDAR, cameras and smart software to master rendezvous, proximity operations and docking (RPOD), setting the stage for missions to the Moon and Mars.

Accelerate science. Expand discovery. Drastically improve affordability. Blue Ring is a science multiplier. By reducing costs through bulk buy options, it expands access across the inner solar system, from Earth science and planetary defense to lunar and Mars exploration, with our Mars Telecommunications Orbiter (MTO). This versatile platform enables missions that were once cost-prohibitive, establishing critical infrastructure from Earth orbit to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Learn more:

ELON MUSK: MULTI-PLANETARY MEANS EARTH'S GOT TO BE GOOD, AND YOU NEED ANOTHER PLANET "Tesla is mostly about making sure life on Earth is good, and xAI is about that too. Because multi-planetary means Earth's got to be good and you need another planet Sometimes people think because they have legacy mental templates, they think that going to Mars is an escape from Earth. Or that it would be some place where billionaires would go. But actually, Mars will be very dangerous. Even the moon base will also be dangerous. Much more dangerous and much less comfortable than Earth So the people that would go in the early days to make life multi-planetary on Mars or the moon, they would have a much higher risk of death than if they stayed on Earth. And things would be cramped and uncomfortable So that's the sales pitch for Mars. It's going to be uncomfortable, the food won't be as good as Earth, you might die. It's going to be a massive amount of hard work, and it may not succeed"

$David Friedberg: The Moon is the Next Industrial Frontier “ I think the moon could end up being the next industrial frontier for humanity. And the reason is, if you can get to the moon, it has an extraordinary abundance of material that we can mine, process, and manufacture into goods. And ultimately the cost to ship those goods back to the Earth is zero. And the reason is that on the moon, you can take advantage of the low gravity, it's about 1/6 the gravity, and the complete lack of an atmosphere, meaning that it's frictionless to move material off of the moon and very low energy to move it off of the moon. In fact, the design for moving material off of the moon is to use what's called a mass driver, which is like a train track, like a rail, like an electric rail. And you could put a package on that rail and use electricity to accelerate that package to 100 G-Force, shoot it back to the earth, or theoretically shoot it to Mars, and it will go to the exact point on the Earth you want it to go to, reenter the atmosphere, and land with a simple parachute where you want it to go. So we could run continuous mining, continuous manufacturing processes on the moon at a fraction of the cost of what it would take to do it here on Earth.”$

“What comes after a Terafab? Don't think small” 😂 Elon Musk explains next step is a Petawatt-scale future built on the Moon Using Optimus robots, humans, and electromagnetic mass drivers, compute infrastructure could one day be launched directly from the lunar surface into deep space. Because the Moon has no atmosphere and only 1/6th of Earth’s gravity, you wouldn’t even need rockets for launch That could massively reduce the cost of scaling energy and compute - enabling systems thousands of times larger than today’s Terawatt ambitions “The future I want to see is the mass driver on the Moon” The scale is absolutely insane

Introducing Arc – the world’s first space-based delivery vehicle. Arc enables the on-demand delivery of cargo and effects to anywhere on Earth in under an hour, and offers unparalleled hypersonic testing capabilities. Arc reshapes defense readiness by enabling access to anywhere on Earth in under an hour – allowing for the rapid delivery of mission-critical cargo and effects to austere, infrastructure-limited, or denied environments. This capability establishes space as a new global logistics domain, introducing unprecedented speed, reach, and resiliency for national security. Arc features a versatile payload bay designed to accommodate a wide range of mission-critical cargo and effects. When launched to low-Earth orbit, Arc vehicles will form constellations of varying sizes and locations tailored to each customer’s needs. When called down on demand, Arc spacecraft descend from orbit, maneuver through hypersonic reentry, and touch down safely under parachutes – all autonomously.

Bridgit Mendler on how Northwood is fixing the space economy's ground infrastructure problem: "The problem that we're solving is for every satellite, it requires a connection point back to Earth so that they can control the spacecraft." "That point of contact on Earth is called the ground infrastructure." "If you don't have it, you don't have a space mission." "It literally is just like a rock in space you're doing nothing with." "There was this whole boom around spacecraft manufacturing." "And interestingly what started becoming the longest pole in the tent was just getting the point of contact on the ground to connect with." "You could build a satellite and launch it faster than you could actually connect with it from the ground." "Which just seemed absurd." Bridgit Mendler with Erik Torenberg
