It's fair to say that we wouldn't be here without the support of our brave & forward-looking investors... Thanks for the sign-off, Rick Baker @blackbirdvc and Martin Duursma @MSeqVC ! 🚀 + Australia needs more support for #deeptech companies from both Private & Public sectors.

Enjoying #BOS views of our Bowen Orbital Spaceport on another ☀️ day in north QLD - seen from the bottom and top of our fluids tower… A lot is happening #behindthescenes as we push to launch Australia’s 1st #sovereign made orbital rocket (est. no earlier than Dec 2023). 🚀
