Progress in “how” to get to space means we have new opportunities for “what” value to capture there.  At Varda, we’re manufacturing products that uniquely require microgravity to create -- and returning them for use here on Earth.

You can see a @RocketLab Photon out the window! Big thank you to your team, @Peter_J_Beck , for turning a satellite into a home for the last 8 months and capping it off with a successful multi-day maneuver operation. One for the books.

My wife claims the coolest part of Varda is the microgravity-enabled pharmaceuticals onboard, not the spacecraft engineering itself, but I’m building my case.

Varda Autonomous Systems VP @wendyonthego discussed key innovations that made our first mission a success, and how the the tech will enable @VardaSpace to scale to a pharmaceutical-manufacturing armada in orbit on Spaceflight Mechanics at Cornell.

Surreal to visit FAA headquarters since they are THE regulator of my life between aerospace as a career and flying as a hobby. Smiling with pride on the outside but on the inside… crap my medical cert needs renewed next month and the left tire pressure is getting low.

Tired of sedimentation messing with your NCE formulation development? Nervous that an undiscovered polymorph could appear during clinical trials? Come on down to @VardaSpace where we’ll expand your process window to include… turning off gravity? Literally yes!

We’re excited to share the results of our first pharmaceutical process in microgravity today. Our processing hardware performed flawlessly. Our mission is to now enable cost-effective high-cadence access to enable next-generation therapeutics. Our results and pre-print below:

Here’s a closer view of the Hayabusa 2 asteroid sample return carrier streaking through the atmosphere over the Australian outback, beginning its re-entry to slow down from a speed of some 26,000 mph (11.6 km per second). Continuing coverage:

Well when you put it like that, using microgravity for high value processes seems obvious…. 13 Years of SpaceX Florida Launches in Under 1 Minute

@zebulgar Exactly, with the one exception that we’ll have a much more elegant RF antenna front-end. Apologies to the FCC for the heart attack.

Water drops showed off some microgravity dance moves last week!💧 Microgravity makes the moves slower and larger, helping the @Space_Station Drop Vibration study examine the perimeter of contact (the contact line) which changes due to vibration or merging.

@AJ_Piplica Haha I love Bluey - it keeps me humble. Never saw the show, but one time I searched my name on YouTube and got nothing but dog cartoons. Even if you put “Bruey” in quotes, Google still be like “you obviously meant Bluey right?”.

@heyjudka Ask them: “Tell me about a piece of work you’ve done that your most proud of?” Ask yourself: “Did the value of that work benefit the tenant or the building?”

Oh man! By coincidence, just randomly came across a product engineered by @secondordereffects in a friend of a friend's apartment exactly two years after founding the company with Dennis in his garage. It is a Bluetooth controlled air purifier. Dennis and his team engineer…

@karantalati @andrewmccalip Andrew! With language like that you better stick a dollar into the swear jar. No option is better than ION. Record keeping is what separates us from the animals. 200k years of Homo sapiens on earth. 64k since the first cave paintings.

@Joachimvoldseth @astro_g_dogg I finally wrapped my head around it by thinking of the translational equivalent... if you throw a shoe but slowly tug on the shoestring to bring both yourself and the shoe to rest, no snap back, different positions, no GLOBAL change to dm/dt.
