Huge number for Impulse. I was hearing a ton of investor demand for this one given Tom's track record, the tech, and DoD need. Adds to the exceptional 1H '25 for space raises: - Impulse: $300M - Stoke: $260M - True Anomaly: $260M - Apex: $200M - Loft: $170M

$300M! One of the largest rounds in space. We didn’t go looking for it, but the industry sees what we’re building at @GoToImpulse Check it out #ImpulseSpace #MobilizeSpace

SpaceX launched 16 Falcon missions in May, tying a record. 15/16 were Starlink dedicated. The Falcon YTD count is now 66, putting SpaceX on pace for 160 on the year. SpaceX is aiming for 170 Falcon launches in 2025 (14/mo avg.), compared to 134 in 2024. https://t.co/CKeVfvpZKe

NASA's Planetary Science budget request breakout: https://t.co/DUEz7lCBvm

NASA's FY26 Mars exploration budget request breakout - $350M for Mars tech - $200M for payload delivery to Mars - $200M "to conduct a near-term entry, descent, and landing demonstration for a human-class Mars lander." - $120M for Mars robotic exploration missions - $80M for https://t.co/RD1mXZdsw4

Wild decision to include a collage of smiling, inspired, and space-pilled kids engaging in NASA STEM programs on the same page that zeros out the STEM budget. https://t.co/kULnOb3Xkc

Roman Space Telescope, Dragonfly mission to Titan, and NEO Surveyor appear to have been saved.

Thought this was particularly insightful: The Starship production line is capable of pumping out a ship every 2 or 3 weeks = ~20 per year. That's not the actual production rate due to the quadrillion design changes, but gives a sense of current factory rate capability. https://t.co/ikRFL67bMN

Once upon a time, fixed broadband was Viasat’s second-largest end market. No longer as consumers jump ship to Starlink. But Viasat has been able to hold strong on aviation and maritime vehicle counts thus far. And defense is a bright spot. Pro article: https://t.co/p46sKYAJSK https://t.co/6cbiKpCabs

Elon says SpaceX is looking at the Arcadia region on Mars for a base because it's not too mountainous and has large ice deposits. https://t.co/sUh8VzcYg2

Second batch of Kuiper sats launching in two weeks. Would be a 1.5 month turnaround from the first launch. Solid cadence start

Project Kuiper @ProjectKuiper

We finished processing and integrating all 27 satellites for our KA-02 mission earlier this month, and @ULAlaunch is targeting no earlier than Friday, June 13 for launch, with a 30-minute window opening at 2:29pm EDT. Follow ULA’s mission page for updates:
