- Small update: after countless ground station issues, we have had multiple communication points with Odin. We’re not out of the woods, but we have a path forward which we will attempt at 11pm tonight.
- Asteroid mining is all we talk aboutWe don’t talk enough about asteroid mining
- We support Jared. NASA needs true leader.I am really liking the energy and focus on the Moon--especially any endeavor that could unlock an orbital or lunar economy. We are never going to have the future we dream of w/numerous space stations and lots of people working and traveling in space, if it all depends exclusively
- Update on the last 48 hours of Odin. It's a long update with a lot of detail. We tried to get as much of it correct as we could, but please expect some small updates as we continue to look at all our data. astroforge.com/updates/odin-l…
- Blue is building the road to space, and we're ready to drive our mining rigs down it. Congrats on the historic landing @JeffBezos @blueorigin!
- We just wanted to take a minute to thank some of the people, and I'm sure we're missing plenty, who helped us on this mission. The support from the community, both in the space industry and external, has been overwhelming.
- Critical materials are getting harder to find on Earth. Good thing space is full of them. Asteroids: a crash course on why we’re chasing them 🧵
- Odin Mission - Tl;DR: - We made contact multiple times - We learned a lot, many of them lessons you only learn during flight - We launched faster and flew further - for cheaper - then anyone else - Our position error is to high to communicate with Odin Here's a full mission
- We just completed what will be the final reassembly of Odin, our mission to the cosmos.
- T-0. Today we launch. Today, we push beyond all the companies that came before us. No matter the outcome, our names will be etched into history’s next chapter of space exploration.
- The space industry is full of secret, closed-door decisions, where the public only sees the results. That changes today. We're going to livestream the entire mission, including telemetry and mic'd-up operators. Starting at 3:00pm PST
