Hardware is hard. But building the *system* that builds the hardware is harder. And fewer people than you’d think have seen it done well.

Some teams bog down in process, copying slow incumbents. Others overcorrect, reinventing the wheel and taking on avoidable risk. Both waste money, burn investors, and disappoint employees.

After years working with startups worldwide, we saw the same pattern: everyone wants to move fast, but the “how” is rarely straightforward, with way too much held close to the chest as tribal knowledge.

Excited to have had the opportunity to sit down with @Cmdr_Hadfield for his new Podcast to talk energy in space, and how it informs how we think about energy here on Earth. Give it a listen!
Energy is so key to life that I made a 6-part podcast, getting great reviews: "such a refreshing and inspiring way to explore the future of energy. I love how it blends science, storytelling & a call to action." Listen: https://t.co/fN2Lhp7txm Watch: https://t.co/yzsmlu7aWN

So happy for my Blue Origin fam, especially the engineers & techs who worked tirelessly to get this beast on the pad & to orbit on the first send. Blue Ring team: good luck with the rest of your mission. The combo of these two products will be huge for Blue.
We did it! Orbital. Great night for Team Blue. On to spring and trying again on the landing. (Here is another view!)

Later today the 2nd most awesome rocket to watch on TV launches a spacecraft to my favorite place beyond Earth: Jupiter’s ocean moon Europa. Epic week for space — a giant satellite exploring the origins of life’s past, and a giant rocket that will usher us into the future.
We’re going on a 1.8-billion-mile journey to an ocean world – Jupiter moon, Europa! @EuropaClipper is set to launch on Monday, Oct. 14, on a @SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket at 12:06pm ET (1606 UTC) from @NASAKennedy. Use #AskNASA to send us your questions.

I know the booster landing was the main event But massive shout to the heatshield team! 🥹❤️ When they asked us to swap the assembly after flight 4 it felt impossible. Thousands of hours of work later, we made an on target entry. So proud of the team for the monumental effort

Well said. A week into my time at SpaceX in 2015, I remember coming home with a distinct observation I shared with people: “no one here ever says that something cannot be done.” Capital def helps, but it’s not everything. THIS mentality, that “hard” is not an excuse, means more.
