Back in 2018, Adam told me that his team would be the first Aussie company to launch an orbital rocket. And he did it. Congrats mate!! So stoked for you and your entire team.
TestFlight1 — Liftoff 🚀. Today, Eris became the first #AustralianMade orbital rocket to launch from Australian soil — ~14s of flight, 23s engine burn. Big step for 🇦🇺 launch capability. Team safe, data in hand, eyes on TestFlight 2. (More pics and vids to come from the media.)

Did you know that the Gettysburg Museum Bookstore collects military patches? I’ve just added the first Aussie patch to their collection. 🇦🇺

Happy #FathersDay to the military spouse dads, who give up their career progression and stability. Who tolerate being posted to bases with only wives clubs. Who deal with schools who call mum in emergencies despite that mum working in a SCIF. We love you. We appreciate you. ❤️.

An electric kettle is included in the rental furniture pack we get from the Aus Embassy when posted to the USA. It’s considered an essential living item. 🇦🇺 🫖.

US military friends: I organised an event and will send thank you letters (signed by my 1*) to the speakers and panel members. Several were junior officers who did stellar jobs. Is it better to send these letters to them directly or to their command?.

I wear blue, but just below the surface is a green core. My entire career has been marked by chooks. Immeasurably proud to serve alongside them and call them mates. #CertaCito.
They often shy away from the spotlight, but signallers play a crucial role in defending Australia. They'll be recognised for their service by leading Anzac Day marches across the nation.

An unpopular opinion: I suggest moving HQ Space Force out to Huntsville. That would keep the ops focused units in Colorado and distance them from the Organise, Train and Equip functions of the service. Having HQ for both USSF and USSPACECOM in such close proximity doesn’t work.

I keep changing my mind about my fav part of #40thSpaceSymposium … today I got to talk with a 16 year old girl about a career in space engineering and hear her excitement and dreams about inventing new space tech. Completely made my day. 😍.

The tension between government requirements and commercial innovation is a feature not a bug. The collaboration makes everyone better. #40thSpaceSymposium

The best part of #40thSpaceSymposium is watching old colleagues reconnect. I’ve seen multiple teary hugs in the last two days of rekindled friendships across the industry. Don’t ever lose this, Team Space. 😍.

If we don’t study history, we’ll never learn lessons from it. 😢.
This is the post I never wanted to have to make. Earlier today, news arrived that my position as a history professor for US Army CGSC has been eliminated in accordance with DOD cuts. There is no chance of reassignment, and the entire Fort Belvoir campus will be stood down.
