Everyone has their own version, here is my personal measure of success:
1) Realizing we get 1 trip on this spaceship and it’s a short cosmic moment. Find people you care about and spend it with them. Do something you love and are enthusiastic to share with those people.
2) you realize that what other people do or think doesn’t change how you feel about yourself 1 bit.
3) you get to pick everyone you work with all the way around.
Success takes time, and it’s experience and wisdom that lets you arrive at the first two. The third one is earned.
Today we are reminded: we go to space to learn, but what we bring back is inspiration for all of humanity!
Go NASA! GO Artemis II! GO Integrity! Ad Lunam!

As we celebrate @FireflySpace 1 year anniversary of the Blue Ghost Mission, it important to remind everyone that while it was a commercial mission, @NASAScience_ was the biggest customer. I'm very excited to see some of the 1st findings

Add yet another reason I’m proud of what this team does, every single day.
We're honored to receive the historic Robert J. Collier Trophy from the @NatlAero for Blue Ghost Mission 1! Our team not only completed a successful Moon landing and operations—we inspired the next generation of space innovators and ignited a renewed interest in the Moon across the globe. Standing on the shoulders of giants, we've proven that commercial space can achieve what was once only accomplished by nation-states. naa.aero/firefly-aerospace-s…
Godspeed Alpha! Go Firefly! Proud doesn’t encompass how strongly I feel about the @FireflySpace team, each and every one of them.
We have liftoff of Alpha Flight 7 Stairway to Seven test flight! Catch the livestream here: youtube.com/live/nyVbmoRXcvc…
People must do big, challenging, extraordinary things to inspire humanity to greatness. This is how we continue to improve the human condition and leave the world a better place.

Firefly Aerospace today filed a registration statement relating to a proposed initial public offering.
Firefly intends to list on the @Nasdaq under the $FLY ticker symbol.

A registration statement relating to our proposed initial public offering has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. Securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities.
Just watch. Amazing team @fireflyspace
Before only NATIONS successfully landed on the moon... In 2025 that changed.
On the day, we captured the nerves, risk, and story of how (in just 3 years) @fireflyspace did it.
I'm often asked about the CLPS program and Lunar Economy's future. This is the future, a partnership that delivers a completely commercial service for the moon! Another first from the @fireflyspace team. LFG!!!
After the first successful commercial Moon landing, we have another first in the works! Introducing Ocula - a commercial lunar imaging service offered through our Elytra orbiters. fireflyspace.com/news/firefl…
Space is hard. Landing is harder. I’m hoping others crack the code, but all the more proud of the team @fireflyspace Amazing high def video of getting dust on our boots.
Three months ago today, our team of Fireflies made history as the 1st commercial company to successfully land on the Moon! Watch #BlueGhost descend from four different camera angles and relive that incredible moment when we softly touched down on the lunar surface.

Another Elytra mission on the books! Set to launch in 2027, Elytra will perform on-demand orbital maneuvers and space domain awareness for @DeptofDefense, further demonstrating our responsive on-orbit capabilities when and where our customers need them. Read more: fireflyspace.com/news/firefl…
Monument mode enabled for Blue Ghost, a brief rest for this remarkable team (and a celebration), then back at what they do best: making the hard look easy! Shoot for the moon. Stick the landing.
Witness the sunset from the Moon - our final gift from #BlueGhost Mission 1! We’re honored to share these breathtaking views of the lunar horizon glow with the world as our mission concludes. The @NASA team is excited to analyze these images further and share more of the findings. #BGM1
It’s a pie? It’s a ring? It’s all humanity on spaceship earth eclipsing the sun when viewed on the moon. So proud of the team @fireflyspace Thank you for bringing the vision of @NASA CLPS into reality with the 1st completely successful commercial lunar landing. Happy PI day!
I define greatness in a team as:
Pursue a goal that has no rationale chance of success, set high expectations in achieving it & then exceed every expectation. I’m humbled every time I’m with the team @fireflyspace as I know I’m in the presence of greatness. EVERY ONE OF THEM
Rise and shine! Firefly’s #BlueGhost lander captured its first sunrise on the Moon, marking the beginning of the lunar day and the start of surface operations in its new home. Our #GhostRiders have already begun operating many of the 10 @NASA payloads aboard the lander and will continue operations over the next two weeks and into the lunar night. #BGM1
Humanity’s progress and potential side by side. The team @fireflyspace is truly incredible. Thank you for inspiring us all.
Left here with just one comment: This team is AMAZING! Go @fireflyspace
Blue Ghost has "merged" onto the highway to the Moon! After a successful Trans Lunar Injection burn, our lander has left Earth's orbit and begun its 4 day transit to the Moon's orbit. We'll then spend approximately 16 days in lunar orbit before we begin Blue Ghost's descent. This gives us plenty of time to calibrate our navigation system and continue payload science operations for @NASA. #BGM1
I root for all New Space companies. As access to space improves, it improves life here on earth in immeasurable ways. Amongst them @fireflyspace is unique; of course its the only end to end responsive space services company. But this picture is indicative of the thing that truly separates them from the rest, a salt of the earth team from every walk of life that knows space is hard, but spacecraft are fun!
To wit: this is our Blue Ghost Mission 1 Building Blocks set (you can buy it from the company store) and Duckner, IYKYK.
As a test, see if you can find other photos of Blue Ghost and Duckner!
And so I don’t have to answer, you can get your very own blue ghost here. fireflymerch.com/products/bl…

Having the deliberate time to travel to distant places on the roadtrip to the Moon has its privileges.

Two weeks in and Blue Ghost has already clocked 715,000 miles! By the time we land, Blue Ghost's space passport will be full of stamps from our roadtrip to the Moon. Follow along on our journey as we continue to share behind the scenes updates on our first lunar mission carrying 10 @NASA instruments: fireflyspace.com/news/blue-g… #BGM1
