Thank you Christian Keil for showing 5050 Astranis Space Technologies's satellite factory. Pride of San Francisco!

And don't worry Kyle, we won't tell anyone you're an MBA. Secrets is safe with us.

Seth Bannon 🌻 Gordian Biotechnology Infinity recommendation for Fifty Years as investors 🫡

Instead of testing 1,000 therapies each in 1,000 mice, what if we could test 1,000 therapies in a single mouse. Gordian Biotechnology is making this possible for gene therapies.

Sequencing a 165kbp BAC containing large repeats with plasmidsaurus. With some reads >80kbp I feel more confident than ever on what I have. What an amazing technology!

The first two healthy volunteers have now been dosed. HelixNano is officially a clinical stage company. 🤯 It's hard to process after a multi-year journey. Overwhelmed by gratitude to our team and the trial participants.

Today Astranis Space Technologies is introducing a revolutionary new satellite for high orbits.

We call it Omega.

It is pound-for-pound higher performance than any satellite on orbit today. First flight unit will be completed next year, with launches starting in 2026.

Higher throughput, lower costs. This is how we'll bring reliable broadband to the 4B who don't currently have it. Omega will be the highest performance satellite on orbit pound-for-pound. Huge from Astranis Space Technologies.
