We’re excited to be coming out of stealth mode to announce $8M in new funding to build a giant cannon that can launch raw materials needed for the orbital economy. We just secured a $2M Air Force contract and hit Mach 4.6 with our latest gas gun.

Very excited to announce our $5M raise led by Starship Ventures (Sean Hoge) with participation from Myelin VC and AngelList, bringing us to $8M in funding! Thanks to initial backers Sam Altman, Tim Draper, SpaceFund for our pre-seed round back in 2022. techcrunch.com/2024/09/25/lon…

It's a great privilege to be a part of this endeavor.

The 2024 Longevity Workshop report is out! Read how leaders from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford Medicine, Anthropic and more explored paths to progress in biotech, tissue replacement, and Healthcare 3.0. Full report: foresight.pub/longevity-repo…

This moment is so profound. And, collectively, we get to experience it together. Surreal doesn't begin to define the feeling. Other worldly falls short. I agree with 4.5 about passing the event horizon... sure does feel that way.

We're getting some new cannon testing facilities too. So we can launch vessels adapted to the heavenly aethers, resupplying the brave sky-travellers unafraid of the empty wastes between the bodies of our solar system. youtu.be/2WYh9ynErBc?si…
