This is simply the case for @gravitylab. It’s been a journey. I don’t know its outcome, which is hard to admit. But I hope a needle got moved on a worthy problem. I’m anthropocentric. I just had a conversation with someone whom I thought was an inspiration, but turned away from the vision of human value. Sorry there are limiting business cases for being human. But I’m still in that fight, personally. We do this stuff to preserve life and its richness. I want our art to never die. Or at least not before it’s time.

Yes we are. And we haven’t shoved it to the back of our roadmap (not a criticism of the awesome companies in this space, simply that we’ve committed for better or worse @gravityLabSpace to this being the core and immediate problem to tackle from mission 1. It’s wonderful to see others in this space, and I think we’ll see spin gravity at some scale happen in the next handful of years.

Fun podcast to do, thanks to Evona! TL;DR: read a lot. Surround yourself with amazing people. Fall in love with the things you spend time on. Don’t be afraid to fail. youtu.be/x6N2xTCAHks?si=Gnji…

DFL is a world-class test facility. I’ve had the privilege of doing environmental test campaigns of satellites spanning three orders of magnitude in size there. Good luck recreating this capability if it goes away… In an age where low-cost big satellites might finally become cost-effective, the death of DFL is a move in a fool-hearty direction @csa_asc change.org/p/save-the-david-…

@ID_AA_Carmack we should talk about @gravityLabSpace :) this is essentially what we are doing but for extremely low-cost – at Washington, USA
