Our yeast is home from space!
We've received our Starfall Demo capsule back from @SpaceX.
All of the yeast containers are still in perfect condition which means that the hardcore science (and brewing) can now begin.
More updates soon!
Excited to announce we flew our second mission, MicroBrew-2, on @SpaceX's Starfall Demo mission yesterday!
This launch carried a payload called the Brewery Archive Space Exposure Demonstrator which held dozens of different strains of brewing yeasts, distiller’s yeasts, and wine yeasts from around the world. (Hint: we miiiight be announcing some insanely cool new products soon...👀) We also included seeds from a bunch of native Texas plants, including Bluebonnets! Next we'll analyze the yeast strains and seeds to see how they adapted to the spaceflight environment.
This was the successor to our MicroBrew-1 and OASIS missions that were performed on the International Space Station last year. In MicroBrew-1, an astronaut combined wort and yeast (the same two ingredients using in brewing beer) so we could study alcohol fermentation in microgravity. The OASIS experiment successfully grew the first-ever crops in soil in space. Humanity is still in the early days of orbital manufacturing but we aim to stay at the forefront of it!
Huge shoutout to the SpaceX team for the incredible opportunity to fly on a new vehicle. And we have some more exciting announcements coming up related to this mission so stay tuned!
New future brewery location unlocked
Introducing Starbase, Louisiana – a high-cadence launch site that will enable Starship to open a pathway to the stars for humanity.
Thank you to @LAGovJeffLandry and the great people of Louisiana for all of their support as we work together on this audacious project → spacex.com/sites/starbase-la
Just released a new beer “Go For Launch”, only available at Space Center Houston! @SpaceCenterHou
6-packs coming soon to the gift shop!

I am extremely lucky to get to work with every single one of these dudes. This is the hardest-working team I’ve ever been a part of!
Starship engine install team is the coolest team on the planet! 🚀🌎📍
If you want to understand SpaceX's potential, study the power law. If SpaceX continues executing -- and there's no reason to believe they won't -- their most likely end state is the power law taken to the absolute limit (e.g. larger than every other company on Earth combined)
Replying to @ThomasAlxDmy
You don’t seem to understand that SpaceX will be worth more than the rest of Earth if we accomplish our goals
The next 250 years are going to be even more amazing
Happy July 4th from Proto-Town! 🇺🇸 – at Lockhart, TX

Massive news for the world of in-space manufacturing
Timeless investing advice that has held true for over 15 years in the public markets (and much longer in private markets). More relevant than ever on the day of SpaceX's IPO
It’s wild how far TechCrunch has fallen. They used to be such a trusted publication for tech news…
