Any time we release new upgrades, we try to find ways to enable reuse of the modules being swapped out. Alongside the new Framework Laptop 16 Mainboard that we’re shipping soon, we’ve released an open source 3D printable design for a case to turn it into a standalone mini PC:

It was less than 10 years ago when the idea of recovering a 1st stage was extremely controversial. Now it's absurd to even consider anything else. Today, the same skepticism surrounds 2nd stage reuse, but it won't be long until that, too, is archaic.

Sniper NTP provides a cost-effective, flexible upgrade path that extends mission relevance without aircraft modification — a capability many allied air forces have asked for as they look to keep long-serving fourth-generation aircraft ready and capable in an increasingly

In a recent hotfire our BE-3U engine reached more than 211,500 lbf thrust. That makes BE-3U the highest thrust-to-weight hydrogen engine in history, at more than 90! Here is the video of that test for your enjoyment.

Holmes Mk2 is set for its space debut. Our next-gen non-Earth imaging camera is heading toward its first mission with Impulse Space. Leveraging HEO Inspect, our Mk2-class sensors give defence and commercial missions the ability to conduct autonomous space-based imaging.

We will never reach Kardashev scale without nuclear energy and nuclear rockets. Yes the sun puts out a lot of energy. But it will not be feasible to harness it at meaningful scale without nuclear. Here's why 🧵👇
