Elon Musk to donate one @SpaceX share to ~72 million kids in America in 2027, currently valued at $10.5 billion, presumably through Trump Accounts.
Every kid in America will then have a direct stake in a company whose mission is the most ambitious in human history: to make life multi-plantary 🚀

Team Blue is building the infrastructure and hardware to meet the mission ahead of us. Take a look at our upper stage manufacturing facility at Rocket Park - it will produce up to 150 upper stages a year to support high launch cadence. This is one piece of a connected system designed to run at rate: manufacturing, integration, launch, recovery, refurbishment, and back to flight. Every step optimized for cadence.

1000+ Leo satellites complete, with hundreds on standby for launch.
From two prototypes to a full-rate production line, every Leo satellite is designed, built, and tested at our factory in Kirkland, WA. Getting here meant standing up a satellite factory from scratch, compressing test cycles that traditionally take months into days, and learning from every piece of hardware we broke along the way.

Snap invented a more casual and intimate form of social media and quickly watched Meta copy the best parts. Now founder Evan Spiegel is trying to build something harder to steal — market-dominating AR glasses. He’s still facing his perennial boogyman: Meta and Mark Zuckerberg.

T-52 hours! This Thursday, NordSpace goes orbital for the first time. Terra Nova, NordSpace's first pathfinder satellite, is launching aboard SpaceX's Transporter-18 from Vandenberg Space Force Base. We designed, built and tested it in our Space Systems Lab (SSL), including thermal, vacuum and vibration testing all in-house. Terra Nova is also built to retire substantial mission, business and technical risk for our launch systems division.
We're building Tundra and Tempest, Canada's light and medium-lift commercial orbital launch vehicles, along with the Atlantic Spaceport Complex. As Canada's only vertically integrated space missions company and a company committed to high cadence operations, Terra Nova brings us one giant leap closer to operating every phase of a space mission. From design and manufacturing through launch, on-orbit operations and data services. That's what sovereign, end-to-end space capability for Canada looks like, and we are just getting started.
Terra Nova is a self-funded, dual-use defence and commercial demonstration mission. It will test capabilities from Space Domain Awareness to wildfire and arctic monitoring using artificial intelligence at the edge. Work meant to protect Canadian sovereignty and save lives.
On board are four technologies we built ourselves:
🔹 Athena, our scalable spacecraft bus
🔹 Zephyr-EP, our electric propulsion thruster
🔹 Chronos, our edge-AI camera system running on an onboard NVIDIA GPU
🔹 Sentinel, our mission control platform, which will run every NordSpace mission, including launch
Terra Nova is just one of several spacecraft missions we have planned. We will soon be announcing our full-scale Athena and Aquila spacecraft buses, built for rapid deployment of constellations and hosted payloads.
