Looking forward to celebrating the Mac's 40th birthday at the Computer History Museum tomorrow evening, see computerhistory.org/events/i…. I asked DALL-E to bake a cake...
We are beyond thrilled to be partnering with KMI to showcase the actual cost of cleaning up space; now within Wayfinder. This major leap forward finally gives us a real notional price of the cleanup to come and ways in which our partners can begin to engage satellite owner/operators and nation states alike on the hard work ahead to capture and responsibly remove and hopefully recycle some satellites and other objects that are dangerous in our space environment. No more single use satellites in our shared near earth ecosystem please. It's time for ride sharing and managing these capabilities and ultimate clean up of our environment. From Space... For Earth.
🚨New Wayfinder feature alert 🚨
You may recognize the app's white & pink dots as junk and debris orbiting the Earth. Now, in partnership with KMI, our leading object tracking visualization will feature dynamic orbital debris removal pricing estimates.

As I get older I am realizing that fewer things matter to me. But they matter a lot more.
I am feeling this both at work and in private life.
High on the list: People. Especially honesty, empathy, sincerity, humility, and desire to go good for other people in them.
Our friends Cyrus and Kelli who lost their home in the Lahaina fires are doing a GoFundMe and looking for mid-term housing...
Tateyama Lahaina Fire Relief
gofund.me/5d2a4b62
Nearly 1,000 are dead in Maui (by my estimate) nearly a quarter of which are our keiki under age 14. Our hearts are broken, our community in tatters and fires still with hot spots flaring. Our offices were evacuated but were spared and our home came within 1,000 yards from the fire; burning over 2200 acres with that fire line headed our way. A wind change saved our home. My team and I started providing support with food, fuel, supplies and mobile trucks running 24x7 with WiFi internet through starlink, charging, and freezers at the following locations: Napili Park, Napili Marketplace, Honokowai Beach Park, Canoe Beach, Lahaina Luna Intermediate school, high school, and Princess Nahi’ena’ena elementary for first responders and survivors. We’ve made over 17 trips into the west side including those communities cut off in the burn / exclusion zone. 10 local businesses, with over 500 combined employees, banded together to form Makai.org to help those homeless and devastated and to make sure we keep generational Hawaiian homes in generational hands. Our group of companies have over 30 of our families without homes and everyone has taken someone into their homes. The predators are descending on our community. My family is alive and safe. Lahaina is gone. While other organizations planned; it was just locals helping locals, community distribution centers, and local community organizations with volunteers from Kauai and big island and Oahu who flew in to help. With exception of the federal sites; in over a dozen trips we never saw a single NGO or anyone from the big nonprofits at any of the sites where locals were living in their cars, in tent cities, and where help was most needed. If you’re considering donating; please consider @HCFHawaii or @makaifoundation
or @MEDBinc.

Yesterday, I shared information from our @PrivateerSpace CEO @Alex__Fielding on the relief efforts under way between Maui between 10 local-based organizations, Privateer being just one.
Today, the Makai Foundation has officially launched to continue the efforts to help our neighbors, families, and friends in their darkest times.
If you have the means, please check out the website. Donate, share, amplify.
Humanity is never stronger than when we attune, unite, and become stewards for one another in times of need. This is that call.

, I know you’ve all seen the devastation out in #Hawaii a group of businesses have banded together to help with first response.

Thanks @peterjhebert for helping us spread the word about Makai.org. We’ve formed a local group of 10 companies with over 30 families displaced within our businesses and are immediately responding wherever we can; many of our teams going in twice a day. Soon, it will be about helping support those longer term. Privledged to be able to help and to have the capability and work with a team of people who care so deeply.
Incredible to see resourceful entrepreneurs spring into action after tragic Maui wildfires. @PrivateerSpace founder @Alex__Fielding has been equipping/coordinating mobile charging/telecom stations for displaced Maui residents. Consider supporting makai.org. I did!

First responders scramble to rescue people who jumped into Lahaina waters to avoid destructive brush fire; 'extensive' evacuations ordered buff.ly/3Ovfz0K
We're so honored and thrilled today to reveal the fantastic collaboration with the @ISS_CASIS team on bringing issnationallab.org/iss-priva… to the science and mission communities who always crave more details and more information about the space station itself and science missions improving life on Earth. Thank you ISS team for working with us to power these insights for all humanity.
Honored to meet today at Buckingham Palace @RoyalFamily with His Majesty King Charles III who unveiled the #Astra Carta seal to mark the launch of the #Sustainable Markets Initiative Astra Carta framework, accelerating space sustainability efforts. It was a pleasure to meet the King and also the Queen. Well, Sir Brian May. ;-) But a total privilege and a pleasure to support this fantastic initiative and @PrivateerSpace to sign and support.

Space benefits us all. From medicine, materials, clean energy & water, communications, climate & much more.
But we have to use space responsibly. It’s an honour to support HM King Charles III’s ‘Astra Carta’ initiative - a framework for sustainable space being embraced at today’s Global Leaders on Space Sustainability Symposium 🌍

How many companies can say their co-founder is also a @NatGeo Explorer? 😎
With our own @MoribaJah as principal investigator, Privateer was recently awarded a grant to develop Glint Evader, a tool that will predict and help astronomers anticipate when sunlight reflecting off of satellites may interfere with their observations.
Catch him this week at #NatGeoFest and let us know if you’re there, too!
