It took over a decade to build the International Space Station, and almost everything went right. Sandy Magnus was there, carrying a piece of the truss to orbit on her first mission and spending long stretches in Russia to learn how different countries approach space. The new episode of Ascending Node is out now: youtu.be/iF7u2aZB74Q

Manufacturing isn't just happening here. It's evolving here. Catch a first look at our latest podcast episode, where we get real about robotics, precision, and what it takes to build at scale. National Manufacturing Week starts tomorrow, and we're kicking things off early with a little preview.

Space is a big enough frontier for all of us. It's only appropriate that while celebrating Star Trek's 60th anniversary this week, we also release the second part of our conversation with Rod!  We talk about the future of this industry and why healthy competition between companies is a good thing.🖖

Star Trek gave us a vision of the future: Curiosity, cooperation, hope. On Ascending Node, Rod Roddenberry talks about why staying true to that message matters now more than ever, and what it means to pass it on to the next generation. Out now!

🖖 Gene Roddenberry didn't just imagine the future for Star Trek; he worked with the science community to help make it believable. On the next episode of Ascending Node, his son Rod joins us to talk about that legacy, how he's carrying it forward, and how Star Trek's vision inspires real engineers to go build it. New episode coming soon! 🎙️: bit.ly/45EEYhS

Any guesses on who you’ll see on our next episode of Ascending Node?!
I'm especially excited about our next Podcast. Rockets and spacecraft aren't the only way to explore the final frontier. Our next Ascending Node guest has a legacy that helped inspire generations to look up... including me! Can you guess who it is ?? 🖖

Steve Squyres explored Mars remotely. But he also explored the ocean floor in person. We talked for over an hour about everything from Mars Rovers to the future of Blue Ring. This clip about his time underwater didn't make it into the full episode, and it's just too good not to share! Meet Steve, the intrepid NEEMO Aquanaut! youtu.be/HxGS-EK4QHo?si=IoxL… via @YouTube

Blue Ring MTO’s maneuverability and mass-delivery capability enable a new paradigm in exploration and scouting at Mars, filling current gaps and paving the way for human exploration. Blue Ring’s bi-propellant chemical propulsion enables standard transfer windows to Mars and timely insertion into an initial Martian orbit. The highly efficient electric propulsion system augments the chemical system by increasing performance and payload capacity during interplanetary cruise and provides maneuverability at Mars, enabling access to multiple scientifically interesting orbits in a single flight.
By providing both propulsion for delivery and Earth communications, Blue Ring MTO dramatically simplifies requirements for orbiters and landed assets at Mars, allowing them to focus on exploration, science, and scouting rather than basic infrastructure. Next-generation high-resolution imagery, weather and dust storm monitoring, and ice mapping for fuel resources and ice science are essential for enabling human landing and advancing Mars understanding. Blue Ring MTO’s infrastructure significantly reduces the complexity, cost, and risk of these missions, enabling swarms of lower-cost, smaller missions to perform next-generation science at Mars.

One of the coolest jobs in exploration is be a Principal Investigator. Blue’s Chief Scientist Steve Squyres was the PI for the scientific payloads on Spirit and Opportunity, the intrepid Mars Rovers. Fun conversation on the Ascending Node, out next week! Here's a clip to hold you over.

All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.
