Warkworth update today now the sun is back. Not much to report but the tarpaulin that was over the large gantry/frame thingy is gone and you can see some form of mechanism in the end on the left. I wonder if this arm will hold Neutron on the pad maybe. $RKLB

isn’t it cool how the sea levels produce their own mach diamonds because they’re surrounded by other raptors creating their own “atmosphere” basically even though they’re in space and should be expanding

Frontier models create breakthroughs. Open models turn those breakthroughs into infrastructure. The real advantage of open weights isn't just transparency. It's giving engineers the freedom to optimize inference for their own hardware, latency, cost, and deployment constraints. That's how AI scales beyond a handful of cloud APIs.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @nvidia signed on why open models matter. AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country. Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

Now targeting Friday, July 24 for Starship’s thirteenth flight test, due to weather. A key objective for the flight test is to get clear imagery from the ground of Starship’s heatshield as it flies at a higher dynamic pressure during ascent, which won't be possible with today's weather conditions. Visibility is forecast to be ideal for a Friday attempt.

I mean, seriously! How do we solve for weather? When a single Starship launch site can support multiple launches per day, even one day of bad weather can become a major bottleneck.

That's it, weather is the great filter.

$RKLB is now hiring in Melbourne, Australia. For test and launch operations? Another launch site in Australia coming? Remember, 6 years ago in TED talk, @Peter_J_Beck said, every time you launch a rocket, you have to close down around 2000KM of airspace, marine and shipping space, which doesn’t scale in the US coz it costs airlines $70,000 a minute and they hate rockets for it. In addition to New Zealand, a site in Australia gives even more flexibility to $RKLB

It’s easy to get too excited on a go-around, especially after actually touching down. We brief them every approach & practice them in the sim, but it’s not very common to actually do one. I probably average one or two a year. Pull the nose up in a hurry before it’s ready to fly

$ASTS: Massive manufacturing facility expansion is approved. Now see this article from April 14, 2026. Space Force Urges Industry to Invest in Satellite Production Capacity “If a company is nominally making 10, we want you to be prepared to make 40,” Garrant said. “We want industry to make the investments in capitalization and facilitization, and in return you’re going to get these large production contracts.” ... “It’s a little bit of a chicken or the egg [situation,]” Garrant said. “Industry is like, ‘OK, we’ll capitalize and facilitize, but show me the money. They want the contract. So, we’ve got to get these contracts awarded very quickly. The companies are prepared to make the investments, and then we are off to the races on production.” Until that funding is available and can start issuing contracts, SSC is making sure it’s ready to execute its end of the deal. One way the government can go fast is by leveraging existing contracts, and Garrant said SSC plans to do just that. airandspaceforces.com/space-force-in…

A go-around is always the right call when conditions aren’t favorable. Watch this Cathay Pacific Boeing 777-300ER power away from LAX after tailwinds prevented a safe landing, as seen live on the Airline Videos Live broadcast on July 17, 2026.

Launch table is out. The two-million-pound launch table is heading to the Integration Facility for inspection and adjustments to support our future ConOps. Once reinstalled at the pad, it'll be outfitted with the first stage aft umbilicals and tied into the water system, which delivers water injection just below the engine nozzles.
